A FIRM BANK.

The following lines were written by
celebrated Rowland Hill more than quar-
of q century ago, at o period of great C,
mercinl distress in England, when the M

be in state OF collapse, and universal ba
ruptcy threatened the nation.--Ne,c u

have a never failing bank,
A more than golden stors;
No earthly bank is halfso rch;
How, then, can be poorl
'Tis when my stock is spent and gore,
And ! without groat,
I'm glad to hasten TO my bank
TO beg a little note.
Sometimes my Banker smiling rays,
"Why don't you oftener come
And when you draw inie note,
Why not larger sum?
Why live SO niggaidly and poor
Your bank contains plenty;
Why come and take a one pound notc.
When you may have twenty % :
Yes, twenty thousand, ten times told,
Is but a trifing sum
To what your Father hath laid up,
Secure in God his Son.
Since, then. my banker is SO rich,
have no cause 10 borrow,
live upon my cash to-day,
And draw ON him tomorrow
I've been thcnsand times before
And never was rejected;
Sometimes my Banker gives mo n,''ts
Than asked for or eypee,ed.
Sometimes felt little proud,
managed things so clever!
But, ah before the day was gsno
felt as poor as ever.
| know my bank can never fsil,
Its funds always the same;
The firm, "Three Persons in one God"
Jehovah is his name.
Should all the banks of Britain break,
The Bank of England smash,
Bring in your note to Zisn's bank,
You'll surely get your cash.
And if you have but one snail note,
Fear not TO bring it ia;
Come boldly 10 the Throne cf Grace,
The Banker is within.
Ill forged notes will be refused,
Mans merits lie rejected;
There not single note will puss
That God has not accepted.
There's none but thuse beloved Of God,
Redeemed ly precious hlood
That ever had note to bring
These ere the gifts Of God.
Though thousands, doubling. often say
TEey have no notes at all,
Because they feel the plague Of sin,
So ruined by the fall.
Tllis bank is full Of precious notes,
Al! signed, and sealed, aud free.
Thcrgh many ransomed soul may say,
There is not one for me"
Base unbelief will lead Tie most
To say what 10 not true
! tell all souls that feel they're lost,
] nese notes belong to you.
The leper had little note,
Lord, if you will, you can;"
The Banker cashed this little note.
And healed the sicAly man.
We read OF one young man, indeed,
Whose riches did abound,
But in the Bankers book Of grace
His name was never fould,
But sec the wrctched dying thief
Hang by the bankers side;
He cried, Dear Lord, remember me"
He got his cash, and died.
