EBENEZER GRAY.
{ anonymous. }

He thought he was a Christian
Did old Ebenezer Gray.
He never missed church meetings
And was always glad to pray,
He did not let religion
Hurt his business through the week,
But on Sunday morning
He was righteous-like and meek.
He used to have manner
That would make clown feel "blue"
He used to chill his neighbors,
And his home was chilly, too,
But in the church on Sunday
You could never find him late
And when it came to roofing
In religion, he was great.
He used to skin all corners
Through the week, and liked the
game;
Yet claimed to run his business
In the Master holy name.
He never let the doctrine
Used on Sunday, understand,
Affect upon week day,
Any deal he had on hand.
Some people called him brother, "
And great numbers called him names,
The latter people being
Those who tathomed all his aims,
He died III proper season.
Crossed unto another shore
And this is what st. Peter
Told the fellow at the door
"While you were good on Sundays,
Through the week, Eb, you were
tough;
Hence when / speak your sentence,
Do not think that am rough.
Now you can spend your Sundays
Here in heaven very we'll,
But week days, Ebenezer,
We're going to give you -"

certain responsibility, and in discharge

sources before they summon those of
