was sitting still and thoughtful。  All at once he turned his face

toward the window where I stood; and; just as if he had seen me;

smiled his benignant smile。  It was a recollection of some past

pleasant moment; but it fell upon me like the blessing of a father。



I kissed my hand to them all; unseen as I stood in the outer

darkness; and as I turned and went my way; the table and all around

it faded into the realm of twilight shadows and of midnight dreams。



                    …



And so my year's record is finished。 The Professor has talked less

than his predecessor; but he has heard and seen more。  Thanks to all

those friends who from time to time have sent their messages of

kindly recognition and fellow…feeling!  Peace to all such as may

have been vexed in spirit by any utterance these pages have

repeated!  They will; doubtless; forget for the moment the

difference in the hues of truth we look at through our human prisms;

and join in singing (inwardly) this hymn to the Source of the light

we all need to lead us; and the warmth which alone can make us all

brothers。





          A SUN…DAY HYMN。



Lord of all being! throned afar;

Thy glory flames from sun and star;

Centre and soul of every sphere;

Yet to each loving heart how near!



Sun of our life; thy quickening ray

Sheds on our path the glow of day;

Star of our hope; thy softened light

Cheers the long watches of the night。



Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn;

Our noontide is thy gracious dawn;

Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;

All; save the clouds of sin; are thine!



Lord of all life; below; above;

Whose light is truth; whose warmth is love;

Before thy ever…blazing throne

We ask no lustre of our own。



Grant us thy truth to make us free;

And kindling hearts that burn for thee;

Till all thy living altars claim

One holy light; one heavenly flame。
