seemed at once to adapt itself to the words. This is probably the secret of the success of his tunes. They came from his heart and found their way into the hearts of others. It mattered not who applied to him for tunes, whether Churchmen or dissenters, high or low, rich or poor, the work was given, ungrudgingly, as work for God."

"Work for God."

Is such work ours? The answer to this question is unspeakably important, for such work alone endureth forever.

In the language of one of Dr. Newman's translations from the Latin Breviary:

No sinful word, nor deed of wrong,
Nor thoughts that idly rove,

But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.

And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence

Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.

And grant that to Thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend:

That we begin it at Thy Word,

And in Thy favor end.
