AT LAST.

When On my day OF LIE tie nigh. is
falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned
spaces blown,
/ hear far voices out of darkness
calling
My feet TO patns unknown,
Thou who hast made my home CT life
sc pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls
decay;
o Love divine, o Helper ever present,
Be thou my strength and stay.
Be near me when all else is from mo
drifting
Earth, sky. homes picture, days ot
shade and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
II have but thee, o Father! Let thy
spirit
Be with NE then to comfort AMI u

No street Of shining sold.
Suffice it if. ny gocd and IL un.

And both forgiven through Thy
abounling grace,
i find myself by hands familiar
beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among thy many
mansions,
Scme sheltering shade where sin
and striving cease,
And flows forever through heaven S
green expansions
The river OF Thy peace.
There, from the music round about
me stealing,
fain would learn the new and holy
song,
And find at last beneath Thy trees OF
healing
The life TO which | long.

the couple entered the rectory, came
forth with bags of rice and numerous
old shoes.

gauntlet amid the shower and shouts
and drove off, greatly surprised.
