Now ihis remsrk applies with the same force

Our politicians seem generally TO have

And that though his religious conscience

And as the Lord had blessed them in the
Into Gods treasury their gifts they cast
The naughty Scribe and wealthy Pharisee,
Approach, and cast their gifts that all can

A poor lone woman in liei widows weeds,
Comes forward when the former thrung

And stands beside Coils treasury a, last.
Why stands she here? 1t urely cannot be
That she, who stands in need of charity
Has any gold 10 give-none to brstow,
To feed the poor or southc anOther's woe.
Yes! She has something! Now her move
nlents show
She has a giti-and in that gift must 60.
And with that gift, she breatlles prayer
To Heaven,
That God would bless it to the end twas
given.
What was that gift? That gift of Charity
Aud Faith and Hopc-those ever blessed

II falls INTO the treasury at last
Too little mates and now that scene has
passed.
And while these scenes were passing from
h-Ir view,
Our blessed Savior, with hi. chosen few,
Were silent WITNESSES ut all that passed,
And He the solemn silence breaks al last.
Seest thou, He says, what these rich men
have given.
From their abundance, where each one has

Of riches which we've reaped from others

This widow poor, tell thee verify,
Hath cast in more than all that thou didst
For they Of their abundance did th-ir Civ

We also learn the proper way /" give.

And now, dear friends, I greet you here
