3 Tim. 4th, 18th. At the conclusion of
the sermon Rev. Mr.. Harris read the
following poem, written for the occa-
sion by Mr.. Wesley G. Taplin:
AS the sun was setting clear
In the bright horizon near,
AS the stars began to peep,
And all nature seemed to sleep;
AS the silence of the twilight hour
liovers round us more and more,
Heed we not across the way
That the Master comes to say,
''EIaste, dear child, why tarry here?
Lo! Behold thy crown is near.
Glory evermore is thine;
Come with me for thou art mine."
Blessed call,
Are we ready, all?
Listen now, the angels sing;
Lo! They gather round the King.
Sing they now q sweet refrain
AS they go, that heavenly train.
All Bnt who is that not seen before
Tretding the celestial shoreF
Borne along the golden way
Jesus arms are vet her stay.
| Now she comes to meet the King,
While the heavenly arches ring.
But now, bark, for all is still;
Now she knows no more of ill.
While all others silent stand
Comes the King with outstretched hand
And in accents kind and clear
Speaks to her-she has no fear.
Hearken now, he says, "well done;
Wear henceforth the crown you won. !"
Now again the saints do sing,
"Glory, glory to our King"
Joining them, but still in sight,
Crowned with laurels, clad in white,
Now she sings the glorious song.
Who's this meets her in the throng?
Sisters greet her, brother too,
Loving mother, father true.
Happy here, thrice happy there.
Hallowed bliss
Ought we not to live for this?
