ABIDE WITH US. o LORD.

In fiery chariots Of the west ascending,
The day hath passed in triumph, Lord, tc
Theel
Its fallen mantle glows with twilight blend
On the far shadowy spaces Of the sea.
II is toward evening. OFT at noontide
Our hearts have met with Thee in sweet
Accord
Now in the peace and leisure Of the gloam-
Abide with us, o Lord
The ocean like dreamless child is sleep
ing,
flushed in the hollow Of Thy mighty
hand;
Lone watch on all nights silent border
land
Enter, dear Lord; our loaf is yet unbroken,
Our water, shall be wine by Thee out
poured
We yearn to hear Thy peace be with
you, spoken.
Abide with us, o Lordl
Tow murmurs through the seaward boughs
are waited
A breath of roses steals along the shore;
More calm, more sweet, Thy loving words
engrafted
In our responsive hearts for evermore.
Yet more we crave Oh, tarry in our leis-
ure
And TO the longing of our souls afford
Thy love and JOY in overhowing measure:
Abide with us o Lord.
II is toward evening Soon from out the
shadows
A deeper shadow on our brows must
fall
So soon across the dim familiar meadows
The hour will come when we must leave
them all
All, leave us not with Death alone to
wander,
Let Thine own hand unloose thes silver
cord
Though night fall here until the day dawn
yonder.
Abide with us, o Lordl

Songs Of the Heart. vii. How Can
We Serve the church, Ps. 81.

Serving in worship. Acts 2: 39-42.

BY obeylng. / Sam. Is: 1922.

"Amiable," "lovable," must be the
adjective of all things connected with
religion; IL not. they are not yet con-
nected with religion.
THE thing you long for. that you

tent of your desire for the church.
You are dwelling in Gods house II
your spirit is there, though sickness
keep your body at home.
All lowliest service for the church
is glorious. who would not rather
wash Christ's feet than place crown
on the head of an earthly king.
Suggestions.
All service Of men serves the true
church, for her interests are as broad
as mankind.
At bottom, we serve the church not
by doing but by being.
Let Christ choose for you your serv
ice in the church, and accept it,
whether it is high or low in mems
eyes.
Service of the church, If it is gen.
uine. will be put first, far above the
service OF self.
illustrations.
Servants of household must be in
the house; you cannot serve the
church and stay at home.
Employers like workmen who iden
tify themselves with the establish.
ment, and make its honor theirs. So
let us identify ourselves with the
church.
We often long to see Christ. But
We can see Him in the church, which
is His body.
Is a soldier only for battle? No,
but for hard marches, dull camps, and
monotonous drills. So a Christian
must sometimes expect dull routine
in his church work.

Patience GIorines God.

One of the grandest ways OF prais-
ing God is not by singing psalms and
hymns; that is very sweet way OF
praising Him. but a grander way is
by being quite calm in time of
trouble. quite happy in the hour of
distress; just dwelling with God, and
finding all your grief assuaged in
His blessed presence. How really
and truly child praise his father
when he Just bears anything from
Him? 1T must be right for my
Father does It" And / believe that
when child of God says, "It is the
Lord let Him do what seemeth Him
good" he is praising God more than
he could with the cornet or the high
sounding cymbal.-Newness of Life.
