WHAT HAVE

What have done for thy names sake,
This whole long day, dear Lord
What help given those who work
In the vineyard Of my God'
Watching, I've waited that might bring,
II only the smallest thing,
Top prove my love for all thy care,
At evening, an offering,
A little child came to my room,
With a tender, quivering face;
called her up beside my couch,
And gave her welcome place;
With gentle words soothed her fears,
AsI wiped the tears away,
And sent her, when she left my side,
Singing about her play.
A mother paused beside my door
A little while, to rest;
To tell of trials, griefs and cares,
That all her life oppressed;
only placed my hand in hers,
And kissed her when she was through;
And said from my hearts full sympathy,
comforting word or two.
A boy who stood just on the line
Where youth and manhood meet.
Came and told me how an awful gulf
Yawned wide beneath his feet;
How he'd stepped across its awful brink
And was Slipping down to die;
With no gentle hand, no loving Yoice'
No tender pity nigh.
How his frightened soul had lost all hope,
From distrust, reproof and blame;
And trembling Stunned the paths of light
For the darkened haunts of shame.
laid my hand upon his arm,
"I love you," was all said;
But the light of hope was on his face
When again he raised his head,
What have done this whole long day
For thy names sake dear Lord;
What help given to those who work
In the vineyards Of my Cody
The cup Of water 6llcd at morn
Is full at evcntide;
I've watched and waited but no one
Has come thirsty to my side.
I've fed no hungry, clothed no poor,
Taken no stranger in;
Visited no sick or prison cell,
No haunts of want or SIM
Only the tears of little child,
And mothers signs to bring
With one short prayer from contrite hear
Have for my Offering.
Give unto me my place, dear Lord,
Just my own place 10 fill;

Why, Bob, you blamed me for playing

Nellie, reproachfulIy; and now that |

marks about yourself and that Lowell
Similar to those that heard in regard

great tenderness; and he at once COM
