because they may chance to be intangible.

The unseen things are imminent to us always. There are many things not
yet pigeonholed by our science nor catalogued by our philosophies. You
can dissect a daisy and enumerate its parts; but you never know a daisy
until you have seen the unseen things thereof, until you have felt the

The danger is that in our hard workaday we shall forget the reality of
the unseen, we shall get to think that gold and steel and land are the
only real things, and we shall shape ourselves by the blind and base
creed of gold, and steel, and land. How easy it is to measure every

for the rainbow of riches.

Deep within us we know that he is rich, and he alone, who has wisdom,
love, patience, who possesses friends, who creates kindly thoughts,
whose life with simple joy abounds. Once again and often do we need to
see Bunyan's picture of the man bending over his refuse, gathered with

use of the things that are seen; but who shall set a limit to a man's
possible wealth in love and honour, in wisdom and integrity, in all the
things that make up the soul of man? Few are the things that a man may
