Learn to live by faith, as I did live before, Learn u to give in faith, as I did at my door, Learn u to keep by faith, as God be still thy store, Learn u to lend by faith, as I did to the poor; Learn u to live, to give, to keep, to lend, to spend, That God in Christ, at day of death, may prove thy friend. CHELMSFORD. Jane L. Andrews, æt. 22. How could we wish for her to stay below, When joys in heaven for her prepared?
