STRENGTHENING.

ing
Over events of the passing year.
Thinking of the joys and the sor-
rows;
And the hores that are now without
cheer.
DAYS come and go and weeks are
passed.
The months soon count, and with
time speed fast.
I5fa Il brief--as we see it every day.
And brevity marks the mile posrs' oa
Life's way.
Seasons come quickly and soon are
gone;
And time seems hurrying on.
Hurrying on, making no delay;
And counting the moments N e& I"
day
Nav we need not to be down heart
ed;
The Star of Hope never wanes.
And tho time brings wonderfui
changes,
Gods word just the same, remains
