WHO DOUBTS
NY ANDREW EAblE.

Who doubts there is II God On high,
Eternal In His might
Would doubt tho forming Of tho earth
0r sun that gives us light
While all tho brilliant orbs that shine
The worlds on worlds on high
Are showing forth his mighty works
On earth, and sea, and sky.
Infinite then must be tho mind,
That hath created all;
0mnipotent must DO tho voice
That doth the planets call.
Aud who conld frame this woAd foas world
Too grest for skeptie's theme
With all Its vast sublimity
lfnot the Great Snpreme
Inspired as If with light and life
Is natures spacious plan,
Showing to all His matchloss power,
And what Is doneSor man.
Yet there 10 mono can comprehend
The wonders that appear
Or how this marvellous world was formed
And placed within Its sphere
How oil the tress and plants have grown
Upon tho teeming earth,
With all tho living breathing things.
That must have had their birth.
And all the lovely forus We see,
That gladden. heart and eye,
Proclaim there lie mighty God
a power that cannot die.
Then what have nadels TO say
Religion they o'crthrow;
They have no God, no heaven, no hell
And sneer at faith We know.
What we think pure they throw aside,
With all for which we live;
THOR lives are spent in pulling down,
And nothing do they give.
Who then can doubt there 10 God,
With attributes so great,
No far above the human mind,
Man cannot contemplate.
But il will come when every tongue,
Shall bless and praise His name
Who all unchanged by endlcss time
III eoermore the Same.
