| p. S.-Here is true thought that makes me
merry all the time:
Jesus, the name high over all,
In hell, earth, sky,
Angels and men before Him fall.
And devils fear and fly. ..
Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
The name TO sinners given;
1t scatters all their guilty fears,
1t turns their hell into heaven
''Oh, that the world might taste and
The riches of His grace,
The arms of love that compass me,
Would all mankind embrace" .. .. .
