68 LIFE AND WORK OF DR. A. A. MURPHREE







 OTHERS CALL IT GOD.

 A fire-mist and a planet,-
 A crystal and a cell,-
 A jellyfish and saurian,
 And caves where the cave-men dwell;
 Then a aense of law and beauty,
 And a face turned from the lod,-
 Some call it Evolution,
 And others call it God.
 A haze on the far bhorion,
 The infinite, tender sky,
 The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields,
 And the wild geese sailin high-
 And all over upland and lowland
 The charm of the goldenrod,-
 Some of us call it Autumn,
 And other. call it God.
 Like tide on a crescent se-beach,
 When the moon is new and thin,
 Into our hearts high earnings
 Come welling and surging in,-
 Come from the mystic ocean,
 Whoe rim no foot has trod,-
 Some of us call it Longing,
 And others call it God.
 A picket frmn on duty-
 A mother starved for her brood,-
 Socrates drinking the hmnlock,
 And Jeaus on the rood;
 Ad millions who, humble and nameless,
 The traihlt, hard pathway plod,-
 Some call it Consecration,
 And others call it God.
