CHAPTER Nv.

April was near its end. The hills
were turning green, albeit we could
see, here and there on the high ledge
above us, little patches of snow-the
fading footprints of winter Day and
night we could hear the wings Of the
wild fowl roaring in the upper air as
they flew northward. Summer was
coming-the summer of 1S12-and the
war with the British. The president
unteers 10 60 into training for battle.
He had also proclaimed there would be
/ no more whipping in the ranks. Then
my father told me that, since l could
have no peace at home, l should be off
to the war and done with it.
We were working near the road
that day. Thrust Miles came gallop-

cap at MS. We ran to meet him

Many a winters evening we had sat in

"With reference to the statement that
Thomas Campbell was the author of

that the poem named was written not
by the Scotchman, but by George Nu-

The moon rose cellar, though late,
And somehow then it did no seem
So very hard to wait.
There seemed so much to learn,
So much for me to do,

My Lesson.

MY Lesson.
Only to rest where He puts me,
Only to do His will;
Only to be what He made,
Though 1 be nothing still.
Never to look beyond me,
Out of my little sphere,
If could fill another,
God would not keep me here.
Only to take what He gives me,
Meek as a little child;
Questioning nought Of the reason,
Joyful or reconciled.
Only to take what He gives me,
Patiently, gladly, today,
With never a thought of the morrow
Leaning on Him all the way.
Only to watch in the working,
Lest should miss His smile,
Striving to still earth's voices,
Looking to Him all the while.
Only to look to Him ever,
Only to rest at His feet,
All that He sayeth to do it,
Then shall my life be complete.
