Side 317 - Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight of his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold.

Side 224 - Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me ' ? Christians are those who have Christ's spirit, as I think, and sacrifice themselves to save others.
Side 10 - Although for crime arraigned, And proofs may cluster thickly round By circumstance maintained ; He may be innocent and stand Before his Maker's sight A spotless one, more pure than you, Who THINK you act the right.
