Nor trust to plssion on life's boist'rous sea.
Set faiss aloft the distant land to spy,
And warn when foes, and dangerous rocks are

Ana for your cook frugatitg's the boy
Oftruth and grace lay ina stock for sea.
Not knowing what your passages may be.
Let chaplain pietg his task perform.
He neither breads the treacherous calm, nor

He can with thunde-ing voice awake the soul,
Grin soft whispers all ITS fears control.
Let ell your sails be trim'd with Steady care,
Or constant sh.ft the ,catch by feryent prayer.

Let best 5otper hope hang ready at the prov.
With daily care your obs rration take,
And keep atog-6ook to correct mistake.
LOOK Ger your scripture Chart and mark your

And make each days ,pork up without delay.
But lest your soul by some mishap be lost,
Get well insured by Christ who knows their

For worlds on worlds can ne'er the sum repay,

Farewell. and as you plough the tempest'wave,
From harm, and fear, may guardian angels
save: fsi 81
And when the dangerous voyage of life IS o'er,
bay you land safely on the heavenly shore.

That, in considering the subjec sub

which were once the occasion Of much

tain those great principles Of concord and
