A SERIOUS QUESTION.

And am ] living but to die
TO lay this body down,
Have spirit that must fly
Into world unknown!
Are endless joys to be possessed,
Or Loundless pnirs endured,
Is it the "gond" who thus arc blessed,
The bad to pains inured!
Who are the good" in this vain void.
Since Al! have gone astray?
"Nonc docth good not even one
We hear jehovah say.
BIZ, yet amazing wondrous love,
Heaven the gift prepared
The dear Rcdccmcr irQm above
Has purchased this reward.
'Ts this obedcucc to the law
Frees from lis curse aud load;
This suffering on Mount Calvary,
Can make the sinner good.
