An angel, then a human face he sought Through which God sradiant messenger might be Shown to his fellows ;and the image caught In a child they called the Sunbeam. So he wrought Two poem-pictures of the little maid, One as the blue-eyed playmate he had taught, One as his visioned angel ;and displayed On both one word, her name, Peace, as in Greek tis said. The prophet-painter sheaven-taught eye had seen That childs high destiny, when her he drew With bright hair flowing over robes of sheen Gilding the distant landscapes sombre hue ;A nd seven stars lights perfection in the blue Of heaven above her brow ;and in her hands The cross-clasped Book of highest truth she knew, And virgin Lily that unconquered stands Till purity and truth have cleansed all the lands. True artist, like true poet, is a seer; He sees, and makes us see, the tender rays That lit a vanished past, and he can hear, As prophet, music of the coming days ;R eading a life-work in a childs rapt gaze. My eyes upon his painting, my heart goes With that fair child, grown woman, as she lays At God sfeet all she is and has, for those Hailing her their Peace-A ngel mid the Himalayan (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Irene Petrie: Missionary to Kashmir (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from Irene Petrie: Missionary to Kashmir Some ye...)

Excerpt from Irene Petrie: Missionary to Kashmir Some years ago the general reader was captured by the autobiography of a Russian girl, well born, attractive, gifted, ambitious, and successful as a musician and artist. She confessed more frankly than many confess it that on setting out in life her most earnest prayer was: "O God, grant me happiness. Make my life what I should like it to be." She died young, leaving this testimony: "I am so unhappy. All is wretchedness and misery. I don't know whether I believe in God or not"; and it is with a feeling of profound pity that one closes the record of her life. The story of another girl, with similar gifts, who was likewise ambitious, and across whose short life more than one deep shadow fell, is told here. Judging by hundreds of letters from people differing widely in character and circumstances, one impression left by her career upon all who knew her was stronger than any other. Many say that she was very clever, very winning, very noble; but far more reiterate that she was before all things very happy; ready, in fact, to exclaim with Browning's David, who stands as a type of the capacity for delight of the richly endowed mind in the vigorous, youthful body, - How good is man's life, the mere living! How fit to employ All the heart and the soul and the senses for ever in joy! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
