64 Labor, Xrusft, Be sober, then; be vigilant—forbear To seek or covet aught beyond thy sphere ; Only bo strong to labor, and allow Thy Master’s will to appoint the where and how. Servo God ! And winter’s cold or summer’s heat, The breezy mountain, or the dusty street, Scene, season, circumstance, alike shall be IJis welcome messengers of joy to^thee. % His kingdom is within thee, rise and prove A present earnest of the bliss above! Heaven knows not disappointment; earth alone Mourns wishes unfulfilled, and hopes o’erthrown. Pass but the golden gates; distrust and doubt, The brood of guilt and fear, are left without; Once bathe thino eyes in heaven's essential light, Which casts no shadow, and expects no night. And all God’s mighty works, and wondrous ways Shall wake no thought that shall not speak his praise For thou shalt see Him as He is, and then Shalt know that God is love.—Amen, Amen, Bearing the Cross. The heaviei cross, the nearer heaven; No cross without, no God within, Death, judgment from the heart are driven Amidst the world’s false glare and din. Oh happy he, with all his loss, Whom God hath set beneath the cross! The heavier cross, the stronger faith ; The loaded palm strikes deeper root; The vine juice sweetly iasueth When men have pressed the clustered fruit, And couragt grows where dangers corno, Like pearls beneath the salt sea foam. The heavier cross, the heartier prayer ; The bruised herbs most fragrant are, If wind and sky were always fair, The sailor would net watch the star; And David's psalms had ne’er been sung, If grief hia heart had never wrung. The heavier eross, the more aspiring; From vales we climb to mountain crest: The pilgrim, of the desert tiring, Longs for the Canaan of his rest. The dove has nere no rest in sight, And to the ark she w ings her flight. The heavier cross, the easier dying, Death is a friendlier face to see ; To life’s decay one bids defying — From life’s distress one then is free. The cross sublimely lifts her faith To. Him who triumphed over death. Thou Crucified ! the cross I carry— The longer may it dearer be, \nd, lest 1 faint, whilst here I tarry, Implant thou such a heart in rile. That faith, hope, love may flourish there, Till for my cross the crown J wear! “These Three And I.” Almighty Father, Spirit, Son, Iu name and person Three, In attributes and being One, What part have I in thee t SOU THJS KJN BAPTIST MESSENGER. lam the creature <fa day ; Thou from eternity: I dwell in tenements A*clay ; Thou art Infinity.
