THE LITTLE MESSENGER OF
LOVE.

Twas little sermon preached TO mo
by sweet, unconscious child
A baby girl scarce four years old,
With blue eyes soft and mild.
IL happened on rainy day;
!, seated In n car,
Was thinking. rs ncarcd my home,
OF fhe continual Jar
And discOrd that pcrNadc the air
OF busy city life,
Each carin but for number one"
Self-gain provoking strife.
The gloomy weather seemed TO cast
On every face shade,
But on one countenance were lines
by sorrow deeply laid
With low-bOwed head and hands claspcd close
She sat, so poor and old,
Nor seemed 10 heed the scornful glance
From eyes unknd and cold.
/ looked again. q, sweet indeed
The sight that met my eyes!
Sitting upon her mothers lap,
With baby face so wise.
Was Il wee child with sunny curl9,
blue eyes and dimplcd chin,
And a young, pure and loving heart,
Unstained as yet by sin.
Upon the woman poor and sad
Her eyes I'm wonder fell,
Till wonder changed to plying love.
Her thoughts. oh, who could tell
Her tiny hands four roses held;
She looked them DER and DER,
Then choosing out the largest ono,
She struggled to the floor.
Across the swaying car she went
Straight TO the woman's side,
And putting I'm the wrinklcd hand
Tho rose. she ran TO hide
Her little face in mothers lap,
Fearing she had done wrong,
Not knowing. baby as she was,
That she had helped along
The uphill road OF life n soul
Cast down, discouraged quite
AS on the womnns face there broke
A food of joyous light.
Dear little child sho was, indeed,
A messenger of love
Sent to that woman's lonely heart
From the great Heart above.
This world would be different place
Were each To give to those
Whose hearts are sad so much OF love
As went with baby's rose.
