so near.


There were Mary and Hannah and
Tommie and Joe,
All sweetly asleep in the bedroom be-
low.
And the father was near with the
mother at rest,
Like the wife Of John Rogers, with
one at the breast.
But Alice, the eldest, a gentle young
dove,
Was asleep all alone in room just
above;
And when the wild cry of the rescuer
came
She only was left to the pitiless flame.
The fond mother counted her treas
ures of love,
When, ooh! one is missing! oh,
Father above!"
How madly she shrieked in her agony
wild,
ooh Alice, My Alice! Oh save my
dear child"
Then down on his knees fell the par
son and prayed
That the terrible wrath of the Lord
might be stayed.
Says Peter Mcclure, "Prayer is good
in it's place,
But it don't seem to suit this parti-
cular case"
He turned down the sleeves of his
red flannel shirt
To protect his bare arms, all be-
smutted with dirt;
And into the pillows of smoke and of
fire,
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-05-24

Not pausing an instant, dashed Peter
Mcclure.
Oh those terrible moments of anxious
suspense!
How eager their watching, their fears
how intense!
And how great was their joy, which
was madly expressed
When Peter appeared with the child
on his breast.
A shout rent the air when the darling
he laid
In the arms of her mother, so pale
and dismayed.
And as Alice looked up and most
gratefully smiled,
He bowed down his head and he wept
like a child.
Oh those tears of brave manhood
that rained down his face
Showed the true grace of nature and
the nature of grace.
Consider such natures, and then if
you can,
Preach total depravity, mate in mani
Talk of blasphemy, why, It's profan-
ity wild
To think that the Father thus cursed
his own child
Go learn of the clouds and the dew
spangled sod
That all things rejoice in the good
ness of God;
And that each thing created is good
in its place,
And nature is but the expression of
grace.
