charter assigns to the ends of the
earth we throw out our life-line)
Though SO long from your meetings
I've been an exile, have kept heart
to heart with your purpose the while.
But I'm homesick to get back once
more; that this love feast to me is a
temptation sore. So sore, l am sure
that my strength would test-eXcept
for the edict of One who knows best |
I'll be with you in spirit, while a feast
of good things Mrs. Bonner dispenses
ter most parts of the earth, where in
sin dwell the others We are bound to
bring in.
'Tis shining web of life we weave,
when first we practice to receive, into
fits dream, the lights and shades, that
for us CLEAN in the sacred page. There
is no / complete in Me; but parts of
His great body We
If one member suffers all suffer as
well; except we in His harmony dwell.
If to the head ! faithless be- I'd surely
mar something's for thee. And only
when true to Him and thee, /, myself
can faithful be-
No missions foreign whose benefits
rare reflect upon all. who would claim
a share In the building fifty framed.
Ourselves" and the Others" graft |
