He is the Omnipotent One, revealing and reflecting His own Omnipotent nature in the beings of men through the incoming of the Holy Spirit and the reflection of His grace.

THE KING'S RING.

Once in Persia, reigned a King who, upon his signet ring, graved a maxim, strange and wise; which, when held before his eyes, gave him counsel at a glance, fit for every change or chance: solemn words, and these are they—"Even this will pass away."

Trains of camels, through the sand, brought him gems from Samarcand; fleets of galleys, o'er the seas, brought him pearls to rival these: but he counted little gain, treasures of the mine or main: "What is wealth?" the King would say,—"even this will pass away."

'Mid the pleasures of his court, at the zenith of their sport, when the palms of all his guests burned with clapping at his jests; seated 'midst the figs and wine, said the King: "Ah, friends of mine, pleasure comes, but not to stay—even this will pass away."

Woman, fairest ever seen, was the bride he crowned as queen. To the bridal altar led, whispering to his soul, he said: "Though no monarch ever pressed, fairer woman to his breast, flesh is born but to decay—even this will pass away."

Fighting on a furious field, once a jav'lin pierced his shield: soldiers, with a loud lament, bore him, bleeding, to his tent. Groaning from his tortured side, "Pain is hard to bear," he cried, "but, with patience day by day—even this will pass away.

Towering in a public square, forty cubits in the air, stood his statue carved in stone, and the King, disguised, unknown, gazed upon his sculptured name, and he pondered, "What is fame? Fame is like a fleeting day—even this will pass away.

Struck with palsy, weak and old, lying on his couch of gold, said he, with his dying breath, "Life is done! but what is Death?" Then, as answer to the King, fell a sunbeam on his ring, showing by a heavenly ray —"Even this will pass away."
