FAITH JUSTIFIED.
Deacon Adams s'relates his expo
rience."

BY FRANK cLIvE.
I amt ashamed to testify
What faith has done for me,
When, with the naked, hcshy eye,
NV way / could not see:
For IL have kept the faith," as Paul
Remarked to Timothy.
Som etimes have been core tried
by soul -bcsettitg doubt;
Yea, in extremity I've lied
And almost been found out!
But that was when adversity
Had compasscd me about!
Yet faith has triumphcd in the end
And always brought me through;
For which my daily thanks ascend
To Him TO whom they're due
Except when am busy, or
Have some sly job i'll view,
A year ago bought hoss,
Whose style my fancy struck.
But early recognised my loss
He wasn't worth shuck!
ALI. brethren, twas bitter cross.
The thought that I was stuck"
He was very snowy brute,
But most amazing slow;
1t somehow never seemed to suit
That animal to 60.
He always seemed discouraged by
i A sensc Of endless whoa!
NV faith was sadly shaken
Il o., tl>ot o;<vhf AOl1oe tchfJp
Yet the Psaimist wa'ht mistaken:
Il haven't seen." he said,
The righteous man forsakcn; =.
Nor lis seed begging breaa!"
:. And sure enough, there came along
I A horec-dealer dead-beat,
On whom l "camc It," rather strong,
By what might seem deceit
Though can hardly deem II wrongs
: The wicked 10 defeat.
The Spanish flies were thick that day,
And some got in the feed!
= How sutldenly that hoss waxed gat'
IN And how increased his specdl
. Yea, outwardly and ihwardly,
!. 1lc was fircly stced'
: That Jockey scoffcd at style and pace
LII phrases quite profanc;
Then shook three ''filties" in my face,
. And shook them not in vain.
:. The lncrc quite cnticed me, II ough
nd His language gave me pain!
Il Il ought to havc reproved him
For the wicked. words he said.
But anger might have moved him
orl TO repndiate the trade;
Ct Besides, lie was, already, most
Essentially fiayed!
" Thus l brought low that man Of sin
or And saved myself from loss;
:. And. brethren, trials long have been
y, TO me like that old hOss-
| profit, in the long run, by
=. What seemed bitter cross.
Thus things arc sure to come 'ronn rig
For those who live in faith
ch That "walk by faith, and not BY sight
C., As the Apostle saith;
), And, while It pays, I mean TO be
Found faithful unto DEATH"
