es and brilliant mythology — on the other, the simplicity of the Christian life and doctrine. But to-day no pictures came. Got Anagnos to help me read two odes of Anacreon. This was a great pleasure. Much business — no Greek lesson. I was feeble in mind and body, and brooded over the loss of the lesson in a silly manner. Habit is to me not second, but first nature, and I easily become mechanical and fixed in my routine. ... I confess that to lay down Greek now would be to die, like Moses, in sight of the promised land. All my life I have longed for this language. .. . All of these days are mixed of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. I am pretty well content with my work, not as well with myself. I feel the need of earnest prayer and divine help.... I had been invited to read the essay to the Radical Religious Club on this day at 10 A. M. I asked leave for Anagnos and took him with me. My daemon [Socratic] had told me to read Doubt and Belief, so I chose this and read

Library. The day was fine, clear sunlight. Many friends congratulated me, and some strangers. Vinton, the artist, Annie Blake, Ellen Dixey were enthusiastic in their commendation of the work, as were many others. I saw my old friend, Lizzie Agassiz, my cousin Mary Robeson and her daughter, and others too numerous to mention.... This I consider a day of great honor for my family. .. .Deo gratias for this as well as for my son's decoration. March 31.... Had a sort of vision in church of Moses and Christ, the mighty breath of the prophets reaching over many and dark ages to our own time, with power growing instead of diminishing. When I say a vision, I mean a vivid thought and mind picture. April 3. Have writ to Larz Anderson, telling him where to find the quotation from Horace which I gave him for a motto to his automobile, Ocior Euro. Sanborn found it for me and sent it by postal. It must have been more than thirty years since dear Brother Sam showed it to me. .. . Apri

hold fast the thought that the great Christ asked no sign from God and needed none, so deeply did he enter into life divine. I also thought, regarding Christ and Moses, that we must be content that a certain mystery should envelop these heroic figures of human history. Our small measuring tape or rod is not for them. If they we the best things are already in view? The opportunities for women, the growing toleration and sympathy in religion, the sacred cause of peace? I have lived, like Moses, to see the entrance into the Promised Land. How much is this to be'thankful for! My crabbed hand shows how Time abridges my working powers, but I march to the increased our gratitude for it. How it has consecrated Babyhood and Maternity! Two infants, grown to man's estate, govern the civilized world to-day, Christ and Moses. I am still thankful to be here in the flesh, as they were once, and oh! that I may never pass where they are not! The winter of 1909-10 was a severe one, and
