MsIHoDisr oEsrENARr HYMN.

Composed by the Rev. 8. X. Cox, D. D
and sung at the opening Of the centennii
conference in Baltimore.
Thou God Of providence and grace,
Our fathers God In days of old,
Alike to us reveal Thy face,
And all Thy wondrous love unfold.
We come 10 magnify Thy name,
With joyful lips Thy praise to sing
To-day as yesterday the same,
To Thee our tribute song we bring.
With Thy rich favor deign to crown
The meeting Of Thy servants here;
Make to Thyself great renown
On this our Centenary year.
For all the past and prospered days,
A hundred years OF gracious power,
Our Ebenezer here we raise
For Thou hast helped us TO this hour.
Grateful, we own Thy guiding hand,
By which our fathers first were led
Which brought them to this goodly land,
And then their holy mission sped.
For all the goodness Thou hast shown,
For all the wonders Thou hast wrought,
For all we've heard, and seen, and known,
Help US to praise Thee as we ought.
Planted by Thee, by Thee we've grown,
The little one becomes host
The glory be to Thee alone
To Father. Son, and Holy Ghsst
And may the century to come
Witness new wonders of Thy grace
May mighty works through us be done
To honor Thee and bless the race.

Thou tickle thing |

Thou tickle thing
Oh, could smite thee with a tongue of brass
But words are dumb and so-but let it pass,
For thou art only false as other men.
1 hate thee now as did love thee then,
EARLY last spring.
Why, false one, see!
Thou once vast warm enough for any cline
And mark, how short ago was that sweet
time
In August last, when strokes filled the sky,
And for the lack Of other coat wore thee
aye -!
Thou smotheredst me
And now2 The breath
OF chill November makes me wish thee warm
Dead leaves in shivering eddies round me
swarm
Thou art as cold as frigid Greenland's SHOWS
And every one who secs thee laughs ant
knows
I'll freeze to death.
