"The loved and lost p' Why do we call them lost
Because we miss them from our onward road?
Gods unseen angels DER our pathway crossed,
Looked ON US all, and loving them the most,
Straightway relieved them from life's weary load.
They are not lost they are within the door
That shuts out loss, and every hurtful thing
With angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeeme's presence evermore,
And God Himself their Lord, and Judge, and
King.
And this we call Gloss !" selfish sorrow
b Of selfish hearts! we of little faith!
Let us look round, some argument to borrow
Why we in patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed this night of death.
Ay, look upon this dreary, desert path,
The thorns and thistles wheresoe'er we turn:
hattrials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath,
What struggles and what strife the journey hath /!
They have escaped from these; and 10! we
mourn.
Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is done,
Who, with his treasures strove the shore to REACH
While with the ringing waves he battled on,
Was it not joy, where every joy seems gone,
To see his loved ones landed on the beach?

A little child, had halted by the well

Rere, th;s-10ng journey passed, they longed to

When 10! the Lord, who many mansions had,
Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain,
Then plying spake, "Give me the little lad:
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
I'll bring him with me, when 1 come again."
Did she make answer, selfshly and wrong
"Nay, but the woes feel he too must share"
o, rather, bursting into grateful song,
She went her way, rejoicing and made strong
To struggle on, since he was freed from care.
We win do likewise death hath made no breach
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust;
No outmard sign or sound our ears reach;
But there's an inward, spiritual speech,
That greets us still, though mortal tongues be

Take up thes song where they broke off the strain;
Sojournihg till we reach the heavenly town,
Where are laid up our treasures and our crown,
And orr lost loved ones will be found again.
