Strong and free, strong and free,The flood-gates are open, away to the sea; Free and strong, free and my streams as I hurry alongTo the golden sands, and the leaping bar,And the taintless tide that awaits me afar ;As I lose myself in the infinite main,Like a soul that has sinned and is pardonedagain. Undefiled, for the undefiled , Play by me, bathe in me, mother and child. KlNGSLEY The best result of all education is the acquiredpower of making yourself do what you ought todo, when j^ou ought to do it, whether you likeit or not. Huxley. Il WISDOM THE SUPREME PRIZE 187 WISDOM THE SUPREME PRIZE My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord ;Neither be weary of his reproof:For whom the Lord loveth he reproveth ;Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,And the man that getteth the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,And the gain thereof than fine is more precious than rubies:And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand ;In her left hand are riches and are ways of pleasantness,And all her paths are is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:And happy is every one that retaineth her. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth ; By understanding he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
