"Look to Jesus, weary wanderer,
Sinful, wretched as thou art;
He is precious; thou shalt know it;
Only trust His loving heart.
"Trust it wholly; it was broken
That thine own might be at peace;
Every sin its streams atone for;
He can bid all anguish cease.
"Now He reigns above the heavens,
And shall reign for evermore;
But His mighty arm is guarding
Those for whom He died before.
"He shall come again in glory;
All creation shall bow down;
Those who seek not His salvation
Must endure His awful frown.
"Wait upon Him, then, His people;
Let Him be your constant strength;
Lean upon Him daily, hourly;
Ye shall reign with Him at length.
"May the Spirit of adoption,
Which our Heavenly Father gives,
Help us all and each to please Him
More each moment of our lives."
(_To be continued_.)
ENVY shoots at others and wounds itself.
WE should often have reason to be ashamed of our most brilliant actions,
if the world could see the motives from which they spring.
SCRIPTURE ENIGMA.
A PARABLE FROM A FARMER'S SON TO ALL GLEANERS.
I was born in a house where there were many fields attached--in fact, it
was called a farm-house, so, from a boy, I well knew what a "gleaner"
meant. I have seen all sizes in a field, picking up corn. But gleaning
is not so general as it used to be. One reason is, many farmers are too
covetous to leave much in their fields for gleaners. Another is, many
persons are too proud to be gleaners. But still there are many who are
entitled to the character of "gleaner."
Now, gleaners, let us come a little closer. First, there must be the
person known as the farmer; secondly, there must be the fields. These
fields must be sown with corn. It must ripen, be cut and carried. Then
is the time for the gleaner to take his or her part. The gleaners must
have a will, and patience to wait. They need eyes, hands, and feet.
