\ beautiful Poem

oh God, We bring our hearts to
thee They fret
And wear. and eat their substance
mp; their wheels
Move slowly, and dun care and fever
ed pain
And anxious fear and choking dust,
fill all
Their parts. and wear them out; as
ON the dials
OF our lives our spirits falsely mark
the time.
Great Maker Of our hearts. we bring
them back
To Thee. and on Thy table lay them
down.
And pray that Thou wouldst take
them all apart.
Remove the dust, restore that which
Is worn,
Drop in the oil Of grace and set again
Their parts in place, and pivot all
their wheels
In Jewels cut from Thine own erowns
OF faith.
OF virtue, knowledge, temperance,
patience calm.
Kindness and royal love. and then,
O God.
Hold them to Thine W heart until
they beat
In unison with all thy thoughts, and
point,
With steady hands, that never lag
nor haste,
To all the circling hours of starry
truth !"

Spur on the men in warning line
Until the battles lost or won;
But out in lonely hamlets wait
Those who a only guess the fate

To ease the pain of those laid low
BY murd 'rous shell and gun and

But science has no surgery
That for a moment can set free
A waiting woman's grief-torn

The soldiers in the deadly fight
Soon grow accustomed to the sight
or wounded men and CHASTITY dead,
But daily deeper grows the pain
That rends a mothers heart in twain
When children cry in vain for
bread.

And meanwhile grant thy special care
To ~war-robbed women everywhere,
For they 1t is who suffer most.
