The little maids twelve stainless years
Were pasT. and she was fallen on sleep
When TO her side the Master came,
Utlering strange music in her ears.
And with the touch OF a new birth
That. like a fine and fragrant flame,
Through every vain swept full and deep,
Called her again TO happy earth.
How far in heaven her little feet
Had followed. there are none to say.
What atmosphere Of love the while
Wrapped her like sunshine warm and
sweet:
What soft wings stopped about her there.
The gracious light Of what glad smile.
What tenderness along the way
Met and earessed her everywhere.
Whether she saw in rank DER rank
First venturing into heaven alone
phalanx Of archangels shine,
Or whether on some blossom-bank
cloud Of cherubs sang an& sang,
One knows not, nor II all divine
She saw. about the Great White Throne
The rainbow ike an emerald hang.
Yet earth must needs be sweet TO her
After that voice. that touch OF grace,

OF days ere heaven was hers again,
And which Of an her wandering race
Child OF that little maid might be.

Denison was formerly pastor of the

while there he joined the grange AID
became an active member A while
ago he moved up to Jam stown and
assumed the pastorate Of the Calvary
Baptist church of that city. He re.

In fact he was a member u Union

and which is the largest and liveliest
