Nay, tell me not of dangers dire,
That lie in duty's path:
a Warrior of the Cross can feel
No fear Of human wrath.
Wherever the Prince Of Darkness holds
His earthly reign abhorred.
Sword Of the Spirit, thee draw,
And battle for the Lord.
60, i go, to break the chains
That bind the crring mind,
And give the freedom that feel,
10 all Of human kind;
But o, wear no FURNISHED steel,
And seek no CORY field;
My weapon is the Word Of God
Ills promise is my shield.
Though hosts around me rise.
There is pow'r in gospel truth,
No heathcm can dcspisc;
AND ne who boldly fights with that,
VIII through more peril wade
Imam the VAIN warrior, trusting to
Ills bright Damascus blade.
No blasts by land or sea can shake
The purpose OF my soul:
Ihe tempest Of a thousand winds
May sweep from pole TO pole;
Yet still serene, and fixed in faith,
All fear of death l scorn
know il is my Fathers work
He's with nc in the storm.
Then let me go where duty calls,
Where gratitude demands,
Bearing the Banner of the Lord
To dark and distant lands;
And if the high and holy cause
Demands my carly fall,
A rccrcant he that would not die
For Him who died for all.

in kensngton, SOLITARY and alone,' where she is
patiently waiting for the anticipated developments
OF 1913. Her object in thus retiring from the

events. Some charitable persons found her there,
striving to conquer the last remains of her earth
