THE LOVE OF CHRIST. 
 
 O the (loath that Josus died for mo, 
 On the cross of Calvary, 
 Oh what love and what compassion, 
 For our lost and ruined condition. 
 
 His hands and feet were nailed fast, 
 To redeem our soul at last, 
 The blood flowed down His Avounded side, 
 To redeem a world so wide. 
 
 that from temptation I was free, 
 Tiiat I could wholly worship Thee, 
 That I with Jesus should ever be 
 For ever in eternitv. 
 
 All g'lorv to the Holy Name, 
 
 To the Heavenly Father be the same, 
 
 Holv Ghost, one, vet three, 
 
 We worship the Holy Trinity.

 THE DRUNKARD.

 The snow tumbled helter skcUtcr, 
 
 A drunkard turned out his wife and child 
 From their only little shelter. 
 
 Chorus. fancy facing such a storm, 
 
 With not enoug-h to keep them warm. 
 
 The drunkard in his fury wild. 
 
 Has turned out his wife and only cliild. 
 
 And as they wandered througli the streets. 
 
 Not knowing' where to g'o ; 
 So they sat down on the kerbing' stone, 
 
 And soon were covered with snow.

 His mother hii^T^ofi him 'loser to her breast, 
 Ana tried to quiet nim to rest. 
 
 The policeman walking* on his beat, 
 Found them both dead upon the street, 
 Never more shall they driven be, 
 By a drunka»- ;'s mad brutality. 
 
 When the di iinkard's fury it had ^^one, 
 He looked alxtut for his wife rii.d son, 
 And when he knew wiiat he had done, 
 To end his life in the lake did run. . 
 
 THE SABBATH, 
 
 The Sabbath bells arc chiming" clear. 
 Bidding" the people to God draw near. 
 It is the best day of the seven, 
 To prepare our souls for Heaven. 
 
 The hum of the city now is stopped, 
 And the chiming" bells their echoes drop. 
 Sounds of a nation sing"ing praise, 
 Unto God their voices raise. 
 
 Our trials and troubles we bring" to Him, 
 For God is the Almig"hty King", 
 He will guide us on the way. 
 If we humbly watch and pray. 
 
 To Jesus then for salvation cry, 
 Lord, to save us or else we die; 
 He will light us on the way. 
 To an eternal Sabbath Day. 
 
 Our Sabbath Day will soon be past 
 receive our souls at last. 
 Then loud anthems we will sing, 
 All glory to the Immortal King.

 MOTHER. 
 
 Those dove-like eyes and winning face, 
 From niv memorv never can be chased. 
 In this country or any other. 
 Never will I forget my dear mother.

 Asking <^;od's blessing" on my head. 
 That my |)ath may be brjo-ht and cic^ar, 
 As throu<,^h this world my course I steer. 
 
 Our dearest mother, our wants attends, 
 ^iiid, while we sleep, our clothes she mends 
 Not for<;-ettin^ our dear Father, 
 Who so kind as g-entle iMother ? 
 
 A true Mother's love can never be told, 
 It's purer than the finest ^'•old ; 
 Whenshe dies, that Heavenlv band to swell, 
 3Iay I with Jesus and Mother dwell. 
 
 THE BLIND SHALL SEE. 
 
 The beauties of nature I no longer see. 
 The birds, the trees, or the humming- bee 
 Then farew(!ll to this vallev of tears ' 
 
 Behold ! mv blessed Saviour appears. 
 
 In re<-ions of g-lory with its beauties untold, 
 VV hose walls are of jasper, and streets of bri-ht "-old • 
 In injinsions of g-lory, and a robe of pure whTte, "^ ' 
 1 shall dwell with my Jesus, and have a clear sig-ht. 
 
 blind of this world, why will vou not see, 
 come unto Jesus and thou shalt be free- 
 For Jesus is calling-, is calling- for thee 
 The spirit is waiting- from its bondag-e to flee. 
 
 In that heavenly land, where all sorrow is g-one 
 
 We 11 sing- unto Jesus that ever new son< 
 Hunger nor thirst there never shall be

 Tilley Field has o;-one to rest. 
 And with the Saviour she is blest. 
 Here she suffered pain untold. 
 Now she walks the streets of g-old. 
 
 Who can tell a mother's anguish, 
 When her poor heart is wrung- ; ' 
 For the losing- of her loved on'e,' 
 ^ying-, so verv voung-. 
 
 Father and mother do not worry 
 For your little pet. ' " ' 
 
 She is happy with the ang-els. 
 It M ould be very wrong- to fret. 
 
 But our wise and Heavenly P^ather, 
 VVho doeth all thing's well," 
 He has c.:lled your little daughter 
 Up with Him to dwell.

 With rcvo.i-ence to worship God and pray 
 That ho, would all my sins forgive. 
 And henceforth teach me how to live. 
 
 The "S''sters " there you will always iind. 
 They're not afraid to lead the blind ; 
 To wait on the sick, or to help the poor, 
 With mercies from their little store. 
 
 The kindness they have shewn to me. 
 
 Never shall forgotten be ; 
 
 But I will forever pray. 
 
 That God well bless them on their way. 
 
 And when this pilg"rimagc is o'er, 
 And we enter on the other shore, 
 The '"Sisters "that have been so kind, 
 Thev will their iovin<? Saviour find. 
 
 With crowns and stars He will them bless, 
 Sayin<?, '' come unto Me and be at rest " : 
 And w ith your Saviour you shall be, 
 All glory to God, the whole Trinity. 
 
 THE RACE. 
 
 In the race of life I've been outrun, so please on me 
 
 take pity, 
 Though blind, I've come to settle down, in this great 
 
 Toronto city. 
 Of all the cities I've been in, where the chirping 
 
 sparrow perches. 
 It is the greatest tcw^n of all, for its Charities and 
 
 Churches. 
 
 In this race you'll plainly see, that Christ's Church is 
 
 the goal, 
 And all who start to win tiie race, must not play the 
 
 fool.

 For in this race be sure r.iv friend, vou'll have no 
 
 time to tarrv. 
 
 Kee\> u|) good heart, and steadfast \w, if you wouli 
 
 not tumble, 
 You'll fine trouble on your way, 'tis easy now to 
 
 stumble, 
 But if your training right has been, you'll sure to bo. 
 
 the gainer, 
 Then you'll «it down with the King, and b(^ His guest 
 
 forever. 
 
 AH glory to our God and King, we see this race has 
 
 started, 
 So never be deceived witli sin, nor never be faint 
 
 hearted, 
 For when th(! laurelled crown you've won. 
 You'll forever live with God's dear Son.

 Whv are vou troubled, or whv feel so bad, 
 N(^glecting a Saviour so good, and so kind 
 To all His children, seeing or blind. 
 
 Or chanches past, which ne'er shall bo retunv^d. 
 Or kind deeds done, or friendship spurned, 
 But listen awhile to me T pr '.y, 
 I'll tell vou whv I'm so sad to-dav. 
 
 February month to me, ever will accursed be, 
 For from that time 'twas willed, I no more slumld see 
 Blown up I was with dynamite, 
 And that is hoAv I lost mv sight. 
 
 Fathers, imagine if you can. 
 The hardships of a poor blind man. 
 Who on this earth is bound to b(». 
 Shut out from all he pines to see. 
 
 But this sad life will soon be o'er, 
 A.nd we'll enter on the other shore. 
 With all those I love to see 
 Forever ii Eternity. 
 
TO MY SON EDWARD. 
 
 Edward, my loved and only son, 
 Your fifteenth birthday now has come, 
 Happy may your birthday be, 
 Long-life find sweet prosperity. 
 
 Dear Ed. your heart is younj;: and warm, 
 Mav you manly face the storm, 
 For in this life you'll find its tough; 
 As you've already proved its rough. 
 
 My dear l)oy, fresh courage take. 
 Be manly for your mother's sake, 
 Alwavs to her be very kind, 
 For your poor Father, he is blind. 
 
 Never mind boy, God's will be done, 
 Into His Hands T will ])lace my son, 
 Trust Him lad. He thy Father will be. 
 And God will alwavs care for thee;.

 Although your face I've nev<u- seen, 
 For vou have been my eyes to-day, 
 To lead your Father on his way. 
 
 On the sidewalks about the town. 
 You lead me on my daily round, 
 Or when to a neighbours a visit I pay. 
 You guide mc^ that I may not stray. 
 
 Ada. do you understand. 
 
 That Jesus dwells at God's right hand, 
 And if you always watch and pray. 
 He will' lead you on your way.

 Pure innocent, and free. 
 
 And may your path forever shine, 
 
 With deed's of kindness you've left behind. 
 
 Ada darling, ihough we are poor,

 With our Heavenly Father we shnll be, 
 And then my little (jueen I'll see,
