The New Commandment.

| heard strange voice in the distance calling
AS from a echo might be falling
1t spoke four syllables concise and brief
Charged with a God-sent message Of RELIEF:
Let go the Cross Oh you who cling to sorrow,
Hank to the new command and comfort borrow
Even as the Master left His below
And rose to Paradise let go, let go.
Forget your wrongs. your troubles and your losses,
For with the tools of thought we build our crosses
Forget your griefs, all grudges and all fear,
And Paradise-its gates are near
Heaven is a realm by loving souls created
And hell fashioned by the hearts that hateu.
Love hone and trust; believe all joys yours.
Life paws the soul whose confidence endures.
The blows of adverse fate, by larger pleasures
AS after storms the soil yields fuller measures
Let go the cross; roll self-the stOne-aWay,
And dwell with Love in Paradise today. $3.50
