GOOD FRIDAY.


Quaint though the construction of the
following poem, yet never has the story OF
the Cross been told with more truthful sim
plicity:
Blest they who seek
While I'm their youth
with spirit meek
The way OF truth.
To them the Sacred Scriptures now display
Christ rs the only true and living way
His precious blood on Calvary was given
Tomake them heirs of endless bliss in heaven.
And here on earth the child Of God can trace
The glorious blessings OF his saviours grace,
For them He bore
His fathers frown;
Fer them He wore
The thorny crown,
Nailed to the Cross,
Endured itg pain,
That His lifes loss
Might be their gain
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nor dare refuse
The Lord thy heart
Lest He declare
81 know you not"
And deep despair
Should be your lot.
Now look to Jesus who on Calvary died,
And trust on Him who thus was crueihed.

GREETING TO THE NEW YEAR

The New Years dawn is flashing
ON the scythe OF Father Time,
. And Mother Age is touching
Many heads with wintry rhine.
But hail. thou hoaTy mower,
With the SGythc wnet for the lowers,
And hail thou wrinkled mother
OF the rosy, happy hours.
Wen greet the New Year gladly, Z
The future has no fears
For us who II that Heaven
Is waiting down the years.
We care not for the StOrm-cloud,
Or tempeSt-chidden wave.
The soul wears not the deIth-shroud,
The spirit has no grave.
Thick and low the mistS are hanging
DER the ocean that we ride.
Shrill the Storm-blast tlumpcts answer
Tothc drum-hcat of the tide.
Like crested snakes the breakers
Writhe and hiss along our wake,
But our trust is in tho Pilot
Who Will nc'er His crew tOrsakc.
Ave. the storm may part u cables
And our lnaStS go by the board,
But the night is light above us,
Whore the angel OF the Lord
Cries: "Take comfort. weary watchers
We are in Jchovah's hand;
Though tho ship must &c to pieces
lVu shall safely come to land
Safe to land! o Land of Safety,
There no secthing SurgcS roar,
For the noise OF strife and tumult
Has no echo on that shore.
Oh. thou blessed land of safety
Where the Old shall never cease,
And the New rs ever dawning
On thy Love-embanner'd peace.
So Wen greet the New Year gladly,
FOrthe wears are in His care
