GODS PLANS.

Sometime, when all !ifes lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars foreyermore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here have
spurned,
The things Ger which we grieved with lashes wet,
WIN flash before us out OF lite's dark night,
As stars shine most In deeper tlnts OF blue;
And shall we see how all Gods plans were right
And how what seemed reproof was love most true
And we shall see, that while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me
How,when we called, He needed not our cry,
Because HIS wisdom to the end could see.
And cen as prudent parents dsallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, Is keeping IRON us now
Lies sweetest things because 1t seemeth good.
And If, sometimes, commingled with lIfe's VINE,
We fnd the wOrmwood, and rebel and sink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine,
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And II some friend we love Is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
oh do not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedent grace
And you shall shortly fpow that engthencC
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend,
And that, sometimes the sable pail OF death
COnceals the farest bloom his love can send
If we could push ajar the gates of lite,
And stand within, and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and Strife
And for each mystery could lind key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold.
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart
Time win reveal the calyXes of gold.
And IT, through patient toll we reach the land,
Where tired feet with sandals loose, may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we will say that "God knows best
