The Atheist Has No Hope.

When I Consider What Some Books Have Done For The World, And What They Are Doing, How They Keep Up Our Hope, Awaken New Courage And Faith, Soothe Pain, Give An Ideal Life Those Whose Hours Are Cold And Hard, Bind Together Distant Ages And Foreign Lands, Create New Worlds Of Beauty, Bring Down Truth From Heaven; I Give Eternal Blessings For This Gift, And Thank God For Books.

As The Days Of Spring Arouse All Nature To A Green And Growing Vitality, So When Hope Enters The Soul It Makes All Things New. It Insures The Progress Which It Predicts. Rooted In Faith, Growing Up Into Love; These Make The Three Immortal Graces Of The Gospel, Whose Intertwined Arms And Concurrent Voices Shed Joy And Peace Over Our Human Life.

Love Is The Spirit Of Life, And Makes All Things Live.

It May Make A Difference To All Eternity Whether We Do Right Or Wrong Today.

Art Itself, In All Its Methods, Is The Child Of Religion. The Highest And Best Works In Architecture, Sculpture And Painting, Poetry And Music, Have Been Born Out Of The Religion Of Nature.
