      " And God sa ' wl , Let us make man in our own image , after our likeness ; and let them hare dominion over the fish of the sea , and over the fowl of the air , " &c . ~ - Geti i . 26 . ** Bat there went up a mist from the earth , and watered the whole face of the ground . And the Lord God formed roan of the dust of the ground , and breathed into fais nostrils the breath of life ; and man became a living soul . *'—Gen . ii . 6 , 7 .

      ** Let us make Man ! " Jehovah spake the word ; Inferior natures trembled while they heard ; Earth shook , the last great fiat to record ; And all creation waited for its lord .

Teachers of old the listening numbers drew To their own wisdom : not like them be thou . O gently let the breathing influence fall Over live soul—it sleeps , but never dies—Spirit to spirit speak—O say to all , '" The well-spring of deep bliss within ye lies ; ' « Drink deep , and thirst no more . ' * Preach thus , and we Shall hear the Master ' s voice again from thee . E .
