HASTE MAKES WASTE
Do not rush at things in such an matchmaking,

Some things were made 10 look at, others to

crushed under heavy finger and no amount OF

HYMN OF YOUTH.
The following beautiful hymn, written by Oliver
Wendell Holmes for The anniversary of the Young
Mems Christian Union of Boston, breathes the
very incense Of the Christian SPIRIT and should be
on the lps and in the heart of all the youth of our
land:
Our Father while our hearts unlearn
The creeds that wrong Thy name,
Still let our hallowed affairs burn
With Faiths undying fame.
Not by the lightning CLEANS of wrath
Our souls Thy face shall see.
The star of Love must light the path
That leads 10 heaven and Thee.
Help us 10 read our Masters will
Through every darkenng strain
That clouds His sacred image still,
And see Him once again.
The brother man, the plying friend,
Who weeps for human woes
Whose pleading words of pardon blend
With cries OF raging foes
n'mid the gathering storms of doubt,
Our hearts grow faint and cold,
The strength we cannot live without
Thy love will not withhold.
Our prayers accept; our sins forgive;
Our youthful zeal renew;
Shape US for holier lives TO live
And nobler work to do.
