Sarah B. Farquhar. A Quaker Poem
by one not a Friend which showed the practical
side of religion.

I gather from Eliza Farquhar's article, that everything
about us is elevated and refined, if the
spirit's eye and ear are kept-sensitive and

the most ordinary objects and events of
life. The voice of God, the "still small voice" is
speaking everywhere, leading the willing listener
up to Himself, and making all things stepping
stones, rounds in the Bethel ladder that
reaches from the dark, cold clods of earth and
its perishing, blossoms, up to the radiant land
where leaves never wither, and unfading flowers
make glad the eyes of the redeemed.
