Of praise for evermore. Oh ! the rapture of this heavenly throng, Bathed in dazzling light, With robes so white no Fuller could Enhance their whiteness if he would. So when in Eden sjurits Avere a part of us [to-day. 2 They walked and talked with love divine In beautiful array [changed ; Until a certain day when lo ! the scene is Eden is steeped in blackest night, And man became a lower light. A cry goes up ! What have I done? And all was stilled. The Eternal doom, Innocence, was robed in guilty fear, And all the angels fled from sight. A voice went forth and spoke the doom, Endless vears of toil and gloom ; Flaming swords were placed around The garden cmce where beauty did abound, And with man's awful present state Linked to the dark abyss of hate. Obnoxious in the sight of Him Who deemed man worthy of a nobler thing. Prayers and incense all alike Could not restore the heavenly light. The future marked with love and grace, Restores creation and all the race, ( To countless realms of bouiidless spjice, There to jiwait the end of a divine and just [decree : A sacrifice when made would set us free, And light the road through all eternity To brighter spheres where re.^t and peace Shall give to us full measure of our need. Countless and glorious numbers wait To share with us the future state. 8ee !

T seemed to hear 11 voice within, Speaking with accents dear, Telling of Hope heyond the grave, And calling me up there, To Heavenly Mansions in the skies, To dwell and be at rest For ever with the blest. Then T thought I saw an Angel's face, Close by me where I stood, And oh ! the face was fair to see, r 5 So beautiful ! 80 good ! My soul was filled with ecstasy, In raptures of delight, — Transported to the very gate Of Heaven's transcendent light. And there I dwelt amongst the throng So glorious and so bright ; I soared to earth once more, and stood Beside my loved one's grave, With heart less sad than e'er before, I hurried through the portal door And left my buried dead ; But, oh ! niv heart was changed, My every thought was wrapped in mystery, So profoundly wrought ;— Alone! T am yet not alone. For he is with me for whom I mourn, | Guiding me onward and upward. To share the love that is made perfect there, 6 Again I shall see thee I know full well, For He has promised that where He is We also shall dwell ;— Then long and golden shall be the thread That links me to my long lost love. ^!^^^^^'^'^^.j^-i^j^^d^^^jir^,.-j^^^ ©HE I<^ING FOI^BTOLD. -j-@=j— When long ago of old, The Prophets spake, it was foretold That one would come in high degree, To set the captive free And from a bondage set at nought The evil that sednced our thought To win for us a loftier life, And save us from all toil and strife, One came, but oh ! in humble state. The Giver of all, He would not take Upon Himself the Royal Decree Of a king of might and majesty. Then lowly from this humble shed Forth the Almighty King of kings was led As a little child in human form. Bearing the mark of lowly born. 8 Shadowed by a crown of tliornR. AngiiiBh. shame and losa Was His to bear upon the cross ! Bereft of all He loved so well. No place, He knew not where to dwell, Nor where to lay FTis Sacred Head, From tempest fierce or foes oppressed ; Scorned and rejected by a race Who knew not the love of a Saviour's grace. Oh ! the suffering that was His to bear ! Was ever man laden with so great a share ; Was ever a heart so crushed with woe, As the Man of sorrows who loved us so? Come let us look up to that Blessed One Who fought the victory and has won ; Triumphant in the skies, He waits to fulfill The last command of His Father's will. ^ Shall the Judge of all the earth then say : Vengeance is mine, T shall repay. Not so, oh Lord ! Thy will be done, On earth, in Heaven, since the world begun. ^...g^J^-^-^.^..^-^^-^?^-.^^-^^ ©HE ©AI^TING. .— J^(D)={— Oh ! dearest sister, can it be That I so soon must part with thee? Thy face beloved no more to see ; Thy voice for ever hushed from me ! Oh, no ! The thought I cannot bear ; May Heaven grant my earnest prayer, To part us not. Thy will must be, My Father hear this prayer to Thee. Then softly spoke a voice so clear ; Thy prayer is heard my sister dear, Weep not for me, be of good cheer, The time for us will soon appear 10 When we meet on the other shore, Darling sister to part no more ; When God shall wipe our tears away. Oh ! what joy will be ours that day. — •Vr • ') j> "1.- . "C (J. m^
