! sermon: MRS. C. F. MENNINGER
} OUR OWN.
II had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
| The words unkind
| Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
/ had been more careful darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
| But we vex our own
With love and tone
We may never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give US the kiss OF peace,
| Yet 1t might be
| That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night!
| And hearts have broken
To harsh words spoken
That sorrow ne'er can set right
We have careful thoughts for tn
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for "our own"
= The bitter tone,
ALL lips with the curve inpatient!
Ali brow with that look of scorn!
'Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
D To undo the work of morn.
