AT CANA OF GALILEE.

[See article in Spectator of January Mod, " Mr. Ilaweles Christ and Christianity.."]

Is this so hard to thee who oft East seen His great sea, sunbeam-kise'd,

Yield royal dole of silver mist,—

By His Cloud-almoners aloft Borne, and flung back in largesse soft, Till thousand veinlets as they list

Feed grape and leaf and tendril's twist,

In lordly vineyard, lowly croft P

0 fool ! who seest nnwondering

This.greater marvel of the vine,

This miracle of shower and shine ;

Yet doubtest of this lesser thing, This only,—that His word divine

Once turned water into wine. L. F. FIELD.
