THE CHOSEN PEOPLE

A COMPENDIUM OF SACRED AND CHURCH HISTORY FOR SCHOOL-CHILDREN.

BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE HEIR OF REDCLYFFE."

"God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things."-Heb. i, l,

"Yes; so it was ere Jesus came-

Alternate then His Altar flame

Blazed up and died away,

And Silence took her torn with Song,

And Solitude with the fair throng

That owned the festal day;

For in earth's daily circuit then

Only one border

Reflected to the Seraphs' ken,

Heaven's light and order.

But now to the revolving sphere

We point and Say, No desert here,

No waste so dark and lone

But to the hour of sacrifice

Comes daily in its turn, and lies

In light beneath the Throne.

Each point of time, from morn till eve.

From eve to morning,

The shrine doth from the Spouse receive

Praise and adorning."-Lyra Innocentium.
