The following has been written in reply to the lines which appeared in the "News," entitled, "Weakness and Perversity."
God, the Eternal Mind, far-reaching, unconfined,
Whose love no thought can comprehend, or goodness has
divined;
He who pervades all space, in whom all life exists,
To whom all powers, all heights, all depths, are less than
summer mists;
He hath created us, in image like His own—
As from the lofty forest tree a thistle ne'er has grown,
So from the Mind of God nothing unlike Him springs,
For like yields like; God has made us, then are we worthless
things?
