THE FAITHFUL ENGINEER.

Life Is like a crooked railroad,
And the engineer Is brave.
Who cat make a successful trip
From the cradle 10 thc grave.
Thore are stations all along ~,
Where NJ almost any breath,
iou'h be 'haggcl' to stop your engine
by the passenger OF death:
You may run tho grades Of trouble,
Many days aud years with ease,
But time may have you "slde-trackcd"
BY tho switchman Of disease.
lou may run the bridge Of manhood,
Run the tunnel long OF strife.
Having God for pour conductor
On the Lightning Train" of life.
Always mindful of Instructions,
watchfui duty never lack:
Keep your hand upon the throttle.
And your eyes upon the track.
Name your engine True Religion"
when you're running day or night,
Use the coal Of Path" for fuel.
And she II always guide you right;
You need nsver fear OF sticking"
ON the upgrade long the road,
II you've got Hope" for fireman
You can always pull the load.
You will often find obstruction,
BY the cunning Devil lain
On all, curve, or some place
Where he'll try 20 ditch your train"
But you needn't fear disaster
Jerk her open let her go! ="
For the King who ru,cth all things
All his plans will overthrow.
Put your trust in God-your saviour
Keep IA going don't look back:
kcep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes u pon the track
When you've made the trip successful
Aud you're at your Journey end,
You will nnd the angels waiting
To receive you as a friend.
Gou1l approach the superintendent,
Who is waiting for you now.
With Bile 'sed smile OF welcome.
And a crown To deck your brow;
Never falter IN your duty.
Put your faith and hope in Him.
And yuu'l always find your engine
In the be ~ running trim.
Ring your bell and blow your whistle.
Never let your courage SLACK.
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the track.
