How many can tell Of the laws of the

Love thy Neighbor as Thsself."

We love Thee, Lord, we've long protested,
But do we love our brother?
We love ourselves, we fear, too much,
Oh, help us love each other.
We serve Thee Lord, in wordy prayer,
We praise in lengthy song;
But quite forget that we we're made
To help the weak along.
We give our goods to build Thine house,
We give Thy Word to spread;
And then forget Thy starving poor
Should share our daily bread.
We whisper in Thine ear of love.
And tell how kind Thou art,I
Then turn, with bitter words, and wound
a brothers tender heart,
Help us. o. Lord, to love Thee more,
Thy goodness more proclaim;
But, in this service, not forget
Our fellows kindred claim.
Help us to wipe from sorrows check
The scalding tears of care,
And make these humble charities
The incense of our prayer.
Fill us, O, Lord, with love divine;
Thy blessed Gospel plan,
That links with p rfeet love for God
Our love for fellow-man.
Dir. W. s. Butler. in Western Gtristian ADVOCATE
