WIEN WINTER COMES.

When winter comes with snowfIakes

And the darkness hOvers near,
Can I review q life Of glory
Caused by bringing Others cheer?
when joys succumb to meditation
And my days have reached a close,
Regardless of my rank or station
WIN j be ready? No one knows.
When winter comes and friends are
slghinG,
VIII 1 be the one to smile?
Though mankind may think Pm
dying
II my life has been worth while.
Nothing earthly can distress me
When 1 sever worldly ties
Those / loved once more will bless me,
Welcome me TO paradise.
When winter comes may ] be ready,
This / breathe in very prayer
May His blessed hand be steady
As it guides me safely there
To the end; although / stumble,
May He lend the helping hand,
Leading me, q sinner humble,
For Into that blessed land.

Old King Winter seems to be hold
ing full sway again after several
days of mild weather. 1t is to be
hoped that he doesn't send us quite
such storm as we had last week, as
then the snow was SO deep that it
was almost impossible for machines
and vehicles to get through. 1t had
its bright side however, as horses
and sleighs were quite numerous on
the road, accompanied with sleigh
bells, and it seemed as if years past
and gone were with us again.
