In vain the realms of space explore,

In vain retreat to shades of night,—

From what can veil us from Thy sight?

Distance dissolves before Thy ray,

And darkness kindles into day.

William Peter.

PRIDE.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord.—Proverbs, xvi. 5.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.—Proverbs, xvi. 18.
