POETRY.
WORDS OF CHEER,

There are'days of deepest sorrow
In the season OF our life.
Pierre are wild despairing moments,
There are hours of mental strife,
There are hours of stony anguish,
When the tears refuse to fall:
lnt the waiting time, my brother,
IS the hardest time OF all.
Youth and love are oft impatient,
Seeking things beyond their reach.
And the heart grows sick with hoping,
Ere it learns what life can teach.
For, before the fruit be gathered,
We must see the blossom fall.
And the waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time Of all.
We can bear the heat Of conflict,
Though the sudden, crushing blow,
Beating back our gathered forces,
For Il moment lays us low,
We may rise again beneath it,
None the weaker for our fall;
But the waiting time, my brother.
IS the hardest time of all.
Yet. at last, we learn the lesson,
ThaNGod knoweth what is best,
Anda Silent resi- Tffon
Makes the spirit calm and blest;
For, perehance, a day is coming
For the. changes of u fate,
When orr hearts will thank him meek
ly
Thea he taught us how to wait.
