To DR.. W. S. Marquis

The Argus has received for publica-
ton the following verses written by
Il member of Broadway Presbyterian
church and inspired by a sermon
preached by Dr. w. S. Marquis on the
theme, Sixty Years Young" on the
occasion of the Goth anniversary of
his birth. The lines are accompanied
by a letter in which the writer says
in speaking of DR.. Marquis: He is a
man whose life and good works can
not be placed before the public too
often as he has been ours for 80 years
half of his useful life"
Could autumn come TO me
With as sweet grace as it has come
to thee;
Could silver thread my hair
With generous sweep, as it has
threaded thine,
And yet leave only added beauty
there.
l would not dread the years that lie
before,
But welcome them the more.
Could those dim years but bring
Fo-get-me-nots of love to hearts OF
men;
| Could every hour but fling
Sweet flowers of service down, ther
onward wing,
Bearing rich fragrance to the Heaven
ly King.
would not shrink to meet the after
while,
! But greet it with a smile.
Could my fall-time be crowned
With memories bright that wreath'
me around and round;
| Could these be ivy vines
That twist my tree of life with gorge
GUS lines,
Thrilling their crimson banners fortf
as signs.
I would not mind the frosts tina
brought the fame,
But thankful be they came.
Could sunset hours draw near
To close my life with wondrous radi
ance here;
Could shadows Iengthen fast,
I'd lie and watch the stars come GU
i at last,
And watching. fall asleep, my earth
! day past
1t would not matter that my sand
ran low,
I'd be so glad to go.
And could God welcome me
With tender words like those He ha
for thee;
Could jeweiied crown be mine
With cen a hint OF glory such as thine
Where all they lifelong deeds Q
goodness shine.
, l would tell God that too belonged t
, thee.
! Who taught His love to me.
