GOD KNOWS BEST.

Some people live in sunshine,
Aud roses sttew the way;
Their lives can but be likcnel,
To pleasant summers day.
Their hearts are always happy,
Aud free from every care
And sorrow fcems unwilling
10 ever enter there.
They've friends TO love them dearly,
And make iceir home so bright;
To hll their hearts with sunshine,
Aud keep their spirits light
Fnll of joyous pleasure,
Theirs is happy lot!
Theirs is life Of gladncss,
And home is the sweetest spot
How many have heard that sweet word
Aud iel' the warm tears start,
For some there are who never felt
The love of human heart
No home unto them is granted,
No love unto them IL given;
None. save that Of the Father
Our Father, who art in lleayen!"
God never forgets his children;
The love for which they pine
For the human love withheld.
l. given the love divine.
lie sends sweet consolation,
lie gives us holy rest;
These allic,ionS make us stronger,
And God knows what is best.
Though clouds may gather round us,
And hide the beautiful sun;
Wcll say. as the christian saycth,
fa,hcr, Tey will de done.'
Though oil our hopes are blishtci,
And Faith seems growing dim;
We'll aust the blessed Jesys,
Aud leave It all with Him.
