The following beautifl lines were
found between the leaves Of Mrs
Trucks Bible after her translation.
They so fitingly describe the closing
weeks of hersweet and radiant Chris
tlan life:
CALLED ASIDE.
From the glad workings of thy busy
life,
From the worlds ceaseless stir Of
care and strife,
Into the shade and stiffness by thy
Heavenly guide,
For brief space, thou hast been
called aside.
LONELY HOURS.
Thou hast spent, weary on couch OF
pain,
Watching the golden sunshine, and
the falling rain,
Hours whose sad length only to him
was known,
Who trod a Sadder pathway, dark
and lone.
CALLED ASIDE.
May not the little cup Of suffering be,
A living one OF blessing, given to
thee,
The cross of Christening sent thee from
above,
BY Him who bore the cross, whose
name is Love.
CALLED ASIDE.
Hast thou no memories OF that ''lit-
tie while"
No sweet remembrance of the Faith
er'Ssmile,
No hidden thoughts, that wrapped
thee In their hold,
or Him who did such light and grace
unfold.
CALLED ASIDE.
Perhaps into desert garden dim,
And yet not lone when thou hast
been with him,
And heard his voice in sweetest ac-
cents say,
"Child" wilt thou not with one this
still hour stay.
CALLED ASIDE
Oh, knowledge deeper grows with him
alone,
In secret oft this deeper love hath
shown,
And learned In many.an hour Of deep
distress,
Some ran, sweet lesson of His ten
derness
CALLED ASIDE.
In hidden paths with Christ thy Lord
to tread,
Deeper to drink at the sweet foun-
tain head
Closer in fellowship with him to roam,
Nearer perchance to feel thy Heav-
enly home.
CALLED ASIDE
We thank thee for the stiffness and
the shade,
We thank thee for the hidden paths,
thy love hath made,
And so that we have wept and watched
with thee,
We thank thee for our dark Gethse-
name.
CALLED ASIDE.
Oh. restful thought, He doeth all
things well,
oh! blessed sense, with Christ alone
to dwell,
So ln the shadow OF thy cross we hide,
We thank thee, Lord, to have been
called aside.

In Summer while the blood is endeavor-
