A REVERlE.

Oft dear love. when the evening shadows
Fall, like sleep, on the face OF DAY,
Come to me- Ger the peaceful meadows,
Cleans and dreams of the sweet faI
away;
And foudly the heart, with a farewell
token,
Dream kissed here in the twilight gray
Speaks again, with it's vows unbroken,
The words of love that 1t used to say.
Words of love! and the heart grows LIGHTER
words of love. and to live Is dear,
Words of love! and the earth grows
brighter.
Words of lovel and heaven is near;
Words of love! and the futures tieeter.
Words of love! and adieu to care,
Words of love! and life grows sWeeter.
Sveeter still for the days that were
So dear love, when the far lights stream
ing
In through the windows of the past, | see,
Here alone meath the star lights Sleam-
ing,
The hallowed days that used to be;
And sacred the scenes and the joyous seem
ing,
Fancy-fraught as they come to me-
Silently sitting, swcetly dreaming,
Heayen-bIest with the thoughts OF thee'

SO 1t is with our flowers, they are abb
solutely dependent on light. A green leaf
may be shut up in a dark, close place and
it will lose all color and become white.
If, then, light is so necessary in the

In the spiritual world. We are told that
God is a sun; mo good thing will He
withhold from them that walk uprightly,

might go on and give OH so many verses
where we are urged to live in the light

Are there any of our Christian readers
living in the shade and bearing no flowers,
or fruit? If so, take to heart the message
of JOHN, which he says he brings that
your joy may be full" This then, is the
message which we have heard of Him,
and declare unto you, that God is light,
and in Him is no darkness at all.
