said unto him: forbid him not: for he
that is not against US is for u.s."
Why do you grudge the name of brother
To him who with you fails to go,
The seed that you yourself not scat
tered
Why do you blsspheme, calling 'Woes'
For servants many needs the master
And thousand hands fight for his realm
And in the thronging of the battle
Is for you who is not against.
"Who is not for me is against me-"
The Lord of angels spoke of yore,
He knows his own and sees the en- my
His eye is never dim or closed
But not disciples are the judges
The servant is not as the Lord,
To mildsr words you are indebted,
For You is who Is not against. 3"
To carry gospel news to mortals,
Must wo be graduates of schoolsf
Win grace BIO measured by diplomas
And limited by iron rules9
To azure heights the spirit soarcth !.
And meditates wherev'r he will
And if in spirit realm he warreth
He needs not our doctor's skill.
Are there no other trays to battle
Than fight for syllables and wordsf
Should Satan Is kingdom not be fettered
With ardent faith and holy swordsi
0, gladly hail as fellow servant
Who fights the battles Of the King
Close up tho rows, with prayers fervent,
For there IS no other way to win.
Would you that Satan be victorious
Before you yield your grudge and spite,
Shall Zion's building lie in ashes
Ere that you ask your neighbor' s helpf
Is this the tenderness and kindness,
Is this the nature still and meek,
Is this the poverty Of spirit,
That Jesus urges us to seek?
True, as my spirit feels and holds him
He is and he remaineth mine,
But in the higher light is paling
All of my earthly wisdoms shine.
And why then should l curse the bro.
ther
Who of the spirit feels a spark?
No, peace to all that seek the haven
The street that leads TO Zion's arch.
Look up to yonder fields of ether,
Each star in his light solely glows,
But all the happy suns and planets,
They fail to crowd themselves like foes.
The diamant trail sirene they journey,
And heaven s splendor they reflect,
Creation IS primal light encircling,
Midst sounds of harmony's effect.
Behold the meadows in the spring time
And walk among God IS beauties. fair,
Is there in gardens and in forests,
One leaf the same midst flowers rarea
Carnations quarrel not with roses
Nor does the oak fight with the pine,
Phcy know: We blossom and are fading
In one suns golden, mellow light.
''We blossom and are fading" yes fade
Will much, what's new in bloom,
A day Of wrath will be appointed,
To stceples high, and day Of doom.
What silver, gold, and what are Jewels,
What stubbles were and what was hay,
The Lord of hosts will once reveal it
In thunder Of the judgement day.
Thus still and quiet use your talents
Until the master cOmeth home,
Employing life fcw, precious hours
In harvests rich of goodness sown.
The truest worker was for father
Who diligently served the Lord,
But that one servent blames another,
This is, what grieves the heart of God.
May there be never strife, pray thee
Between the hcrdmcn mine and thine"
For earth is large and room is plenty,
10 treat the world with bread and wine
For never gospel truth should serve us
To fight and quarrel and debate
Tho mystery of Christ's last supper
Is not for them who brothers hate.
Behold tho folly of thy children
With great compassion, highest Lord,
And build thine own, eternal kingdom,
In harmony with Master-Word
And if thou holdest with souls trans.
figured
The heavenly communion,
May not my enemy be missing
In heaven 5 last reunion.
