"OLD CHEST CHURCH"


II has been suggested to enlarge Christ
Church" by removing the eastern, wall and ex-
tending it over that portion of the ground. ltls
deeply to be regretted that such an idea was
ever conceived, for should it be carried into
effect the beauty Of the dear old sanctuary
would be destroyed, and many of the dead who
have for nearly century slumbered beneath
the shadow of its walls, would be disturbed.
No stone or tablet marks their resting place,
VET we know their dust is there, close to the
church they built and loved-Revercntly let
them rest: &J41@
Touch vt, touch not, its sacred walls
The church our fathers loved,
Through whose deep aisles and solem shades,
Their noble forms once moved.
Beneath that roof their voices joined
In tuneful hymns ofpraise;
And waited on the wings of faith,
The humble prayer was raised.
Through generations they have slept a-
In silence long and deep;
Why then disturb their ashes now,
Oh let them, let them, sleep ~,
Oh would ye desecrate heir dust
Meath that prayer-hallo sod,
Whose steps went honored to the grave,
Whose pathway led to God
We are their children, and we cling
With reverence to our dead;
And love the consecrated ground,
Where lies each sainted head.
That dear ''old church" time honored fame,
Thy walls with ivy grown;
And forest-trees, whose shadows fall
On many a mouldering stone.
Methinks that o or thy sacred groun
Celestial footsteps rove;
And angel-wings o'er-shadow thee
All viewless in their love.
Touch rot, touch not. its sacred walls,
The church our fathers loved
Through whose deep aisles and solemn shades,
Their noble forms once moved. '..
