LL that is passed is pardoned ; all we did Has drifted far on the great love of Him Who made our life this love in love, and hid Our union in Himself. Old sins grow dim, Old mercies shrouding them ; and from the deep The voices of sad memories rise and sweep Up, up to Heaven's blue, and there are lost Amid the shinings of the steadfast host Of lightfull worlds that sparkle round the Light, Telling He comes, the Day-star of our night, Who into morn turns death's dull shadow surely, And being in Himself all pure works purely Through all tlic night-shades where we weave our life. For night and day are His. And His the strife We two are set apart for. Star and Star Differ in glory, differ in their task, But though great oceans roll between us far, In one our lights He mingles ; and I ask For this one gift, that you and I may tread The lands of dying ones with Him, and rise With Him together from among the dead, With Him rejoice upon the golden shore. Nor ever be apart in any wise, In seen and unseen one for evermore. 861861 I WALKED upon the beach alone, And watched the summer sea, As, with one low unceasing moan, It crept up quietly. No human hand could stay the course Of that approaching sea ; Still silently, without remorse, It crept up quietly. So Death, like Ocean, none withstands. And none can from him flee ; For still, with his all-grasping hands, He creeps up quietly. CONTENTS To TH^ Memory of my Mother in Heaven, j To THE Love of my Mother on Earth .

CHRISTMAS, 1885. God Moves in a Mysterious Way.' OD took thee, Mother, ere my heart could feel The pang of parting, ere my h'ps could lisp At thy dear knees in daily prayer, or show To thee my baby troubles — it was well. Thou wast too fair, too holy for this earth, Thy work was done, thy talents nobly used — And thus Cod took thee : and thy babe was left Without a mother's shield to face the world, (lladly hadst thou delayed a little more Amid the cares and jxiins of life, to hold My trusting hand and guide my tottering feet, 12 Joy AND Health. And point my infant faith through thee to Heaven. But God denied it, and the parting came ; The mother joined the glorious saints of Hght Amid the joys of Paradise : the child Was left, to toil more painfully along The path she trod before him, and to track Through all the gloom of wickedness and woe The star of her pure holiness. But God In His great love had mercy : ere the grave Made me entirely orphan, warmed my heart To call another " Mother," who has wrapped That heart to hers as close as earthly ties Can link two hearts together. Wondrous love ! That God who made the mighty universe, Whose mind embraces all that ever was And all that shall be, Who pervadeth all With His mysterious presence — that this God All-great, all-powerful, all in all, should stoop In His imperial wisdom to provide Some limit to the troubles of a heart So young and so distressed, that yearned for one To see its little pains, and bear the load Of little crimes confessed — a woman's love To cherish, and a woman's arm to guide ! To THE Memory of My Mother in Heaven. 13 And God bestowed the want ; another came To fill the place of her I only knew In shadowy visions of the night, when oft rid seem to see an heavenly radiant form Draw near my cot where I had cried to sleep, And then I seemed to know her to be mine, " My own, own Mother ! " . . . Now, with vague delight Mixed with a childish fear of something new, I learned to call this other Mother mine. And in her tenderness my heart found rest And drank the strangeness of its new-found joy, And nestled to her. Many noble works By woman's love are done, but none more blest Than hers who found me longing for a heart To sympathise with mine, and gave it all. My God, I thank Thee for that Thou hast given To me two Mothers — one to honour here. To love and cherish as she cherished me : The other to be ever in my heart A guiding radiance. Give me grace, O God ! So in my life to live as ne'er to bring A flush of shame for me upon the brow Of this my present Mother : in my death So to die godly, as to cleave the air 14 Joy and Health. Swift to the gates of gold, and 'mid the throng Of those that bid me welcome hear one cry Clearly and sweetly ringing o'er the rest, The Mother's cry of " Welcome ! " to her son. #> 1- .'^ '4\Im^^^' I ARCH ED are all the mountain meadows, Dried is every mountain stream : Short the dews and hot the breezes, Shines the sun with scorching beam. But e'en yet a tiny streamlet Trickles faintly down the mead ; Though hard pressed for life, it never Turns aside from others' need. Drooping harebells, stately foxgloves, Rising 'mid the withering grass. Bless the stream ; their tliirsty blossoms Kiss its waters as they pass. Fainter, fainter grows its murmur, Still it throws its precious showers ; Scarce its tiny strength suffices. Still it feeds the dying flowers. 1 6 JOY AND Health. See, 'tis saved : the longed-for breezes Bring the coohng rain at length ; And the streamlet laughs, its ripples Glittering in their new-found strength. IS Sunday morning ; stillness reigns around, Sweet hallowing stillness — while the songsters' lay Mars not, but makes more perfect with its sound The holy quiet of the Saviour's day. No clouds obscure the azure of the sky, Scarce the soft breezes stir the rustling trees ; In pleasant mead the lazy catde lie, And drink ihe fulness of forgetful ease. But, hark ! far down in yonder peaceful vale, Where 'mid the verdure peeps the village fane, Now sinking low, now borne on gentle gale. In grander measures swells the sweet refrain. Yes, God is love ; the smiling earth below, The sunlit glories of the sky above. All Nature's thousand beauties do but show Their Maker's vast immeasurable love. c ©brnmcj: on tin ^I)ort. fHE golden sun has set, and shadowy night Creeps with its curtain o'er the western hght, And hardly twinkling gleams the early star O'er the great Ocean, that beneath it far Murmurs, as courting rest ; and far away, From fishers singing on their homeward way, Comes the low sound of voices soft and clear That mingles in the silence of the air AVith measured plash of oars — a perfect calm Broods over all, and steals the holy charm Of soothing quiet o'er the troubled mind. And fills the soul with gladness undefined, With some dim thoughts of God, some flutt'ring flight Of the tired spirit to the realms of light. Some glimmering hope of Heaven, ere again It face the conflicts of the world of pain. ''it ici tin Horti tl)at mntit tin iKabcus." ^j^OUBT? Dost thou doubt? Look upward to the sky, / Scan those unutterable depths, and watch The message-fires of never-counted worlds, Worlds beyond worlds, yet fitting each with each, Immeasurable distances between, In harmony all perfect. Know thine earth As but a myriadth of the multitudes That pass, repass, amid the ordered maze Of space unlimited. There is no end, No end to space, as there is none to time. No spot where nothing is — and what art thou ? AMiat but a puny being of an eardi Itself but puny ? Yet thou hast been blest Far above other earth-inhabitants, Thou and thy fellows with a living soul. And hast thou used this costl_\- gift su ill As to have doubts? To doui)t that there is One, 20 Jov AND Health. One that hath framed existence, One that is Existence in Himself, Who ruleth all ? Thou that art certain that there is a world, A space, an universe, a life, an " Is," Darest thou doubt that there is One to work. To mould the Infinite to do His will ? Darest thou doubt ? No longer. Hast thou dared ? Aye, fall upon thy knees, and pledge thy soul, An offering of thanks for evermore To Him that is for ever everywhere. For that He spared thee, He, the All-in-all, Thee a poor speck upon His handiwork, When thou didst doubt His being. And look up, Look up again to yonder starlit sky. And own with trembling that there is a God. Co (Bnt of tl)c kittle ^ufffrrro. WANT to help you bear it, for I know it's hard to bear, To see the others playing while you are lying there : And I know the pain is awful and the days are very long, And perl^j)s you're sometimes thinking, " I've been doing nothing wrong, That I should have the weariness — the restlessness and pain ; " Or perhaps to try and i)ear it seems to you to be in vain. Well, listen, while I tell you how 'tis given you in love. All this pain and weary watching, by the God of Heaven above. Yes, / know, but there's another Who knows better far than I All your pains and all your sorrows — God who made the earth and sky ; Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, He alone can really sliare Grief like yours and really comfort, He alone can take the care And relieve you of the burden — Let Him help you bear it now ! For remember how the thorn-crown once has pierced His bleeding brow. 22 Joy and Health. How He stood alone despised 'mid the scoffing soldier bands, How His back was torn with scourges, how they smote Him with their hands, How He passed like felon guarded sadly through the city gate, How His cross he had to carry till He fell beneath its weight. Then, remember, how they nailed Him — nails through both His hands and feet — Raised Him on the Cross, deserted ; not one hand stretched out to greet, Not one voice upraised to save Him. You have friends to help you bear, — He had none to help Him bear it hanging in His torment there. Six long hours He hung in torment, torment we can never know : There was none to bathe His forehead in His agony of woe ; Six long hours, then bowed His head and yielded up His mortal breath, He for you, for me, for all men, stooped to die a cruel death. Yes, for you He died : but triumphed o'er the bondage of the grave ; Now He lives for you, and ever He is standing nigh to save. With His wondrous love He loves you, and is ready to receive All who come to Him for comfort. So I want you not to grieve. But to bear your little pain for Him who bore to die for you. Pray to Jesus : He will give you patience that will take you through. ^"^ 91 ^3salm of ^Ti^anUsigibinfl* ESUS, upon the threshold Thou hast stayed me, Upon the threshold of eventful life ; My soul has heard Thy tender voice behind me : " Come rest a little, ere thou face the strife." My heart was beating wildly for the conflict, My hands were clenching, and my eye looked on : I felt Thine hand upon me, and I murmured : Jesus, the day of murmuring is gone. Pain came and sickness, and I grew discouraged, And shadows seemed to close around my life ; And pain increased, and, oh ! my heart was broken — Deep was the cutting of Thy healing knife. Then I was torn through days of weary blackness By restless clamours of a troubled brain ; Chastened, forgetful of Thy chastening goodness : Till in my weakness I found strength again. 24 Joy and Health. Yes, strength with Thee; Thy sword went home one evening. The Spirit's sword, Thy wondrous word of hfe— I thank Thee, Father, for Thy tender scourging. And Thee, Physician, for Thy heahng knife. Now I am resting, Jesus. May Thy tonic Be working in my soul, and be Thou near : To me, as Thine to Thee, my hfe make nothing, As mine to Thee, Thy hfe make whoHy dear. So when my soul is truly convalescent. Thou shalt pass with me to the field of life ; And at my side Thy gentle voice shall cheer me : "Child, thou art rested; let us face the strife." Sufficient for ROUND us the mist of the miUions floating, floating; Eternity's deafening dread, The living and the dead, The speeding and the sped, Worlds the passing of worlds into worlds ever noting : The dust of the past.

So, surely I prepared, Nourished and shared All ye would trust Me with, and cared For thee . . . And thee — Ah, when you came to Me, My heart of sorrows throbbed, While ye lay low and sobbed Over your sin ; I took you in. Pardoned, and set you free.

" Upward through the ages The graven stones of old-time manhood tell us — And downward through the ages dim extending Whose torch is lit within us, rise the questions From man that passes in the darkness earthwards.

Easy for us, dear, with Home and its treasures Scaring heart-failing : Hard, dear, for the poor in the streets with no share in such plea- sures, Puny and ailing Children and women and men, thinly-clad and not able Sitting at home to dream dreams : Bound to l)c always at work, while strength lasts : from our table Earning some crumbs, not enough. To them winter is what it seems. 44 Joy and Health. What can we do ? In your heart is much treasure, Open its portals : See what the King has bestowed there to feed without measure Suffering mortals : And to our spirits His Spirit has spoken : "Ye perish, Or think of others and live ! Sunshine and happiness, loved ones to love and to cherish, I gave to you on condition you learn how to give." God marks our giving, but scans more minutely Motives of giving : God loves the man who must give, although mutely, Always while living : Even in breathing feels impulse to help all the stricken. Acts on the impulse and gives : Gives where he can, when he can, with all wisdom, is careful to quicken All whom he loves to give too unto God — this man lives. Pounds, shillings, pence ? Better thank Him who freed you, Christ our Salvation, Then, with your life in His, trust Him to speed you. Deal consolation : Just in those ways which He shows you give all your resources, And you shall find at the end On the Threshold of Winter. 45 Truly with you against want, sin, and death have the stars in their courses Conquered in fight; and our loving Lord Jesus will claim you His friend. $ tijc l^orit tro kEcp it ; i Inill iuater it circrn moment : lest att'Q Irurt it, I toill keep it nigljt anir ira^."

The dry winds of the winter's end are spent Not yet wild violets woo the first of showers, But every hedgerow is in touch with hope, And some already have their primroses, And all the meadows sport with dainty lambs : Cold wars with sunshine, but the sun will win, And heaven's larks are jubilant with song. O hearts of men, take courage ! Waits the world Refreshment deeper still than sweetest rain ? Is winter long ? Are there few early flowers ? Frosts hold the nights, and fierce winds wound the day ? Have but a little patience. There was once A burst of summer long ago ; they say The sun shone warmly, and the showers were kind. Spring-flowers arose of holy happiness — That was in Galilee, and long ago. First Primroses.

Risen one star amid lingering kisses of sunlight : Silently rose the man's spirit. " Ah, could I grasp it and here make it mine to go with me, Mystery moment of hope undefined, Tryst-time of sunset and star ! Goodness of life that has worked and will slumber. Goodness of sleep that will nourish the life of the morning, Breathing new good on ni)' powers !

Leaving me naked without, but behind them Men moving still as I moved ; Then shall they study and see that the dead one Did this and this and had sense in his doing, with wonder Soon to be lost and forgotten.

" Almost I envy them now, for they know where their paths lie, Crushing the mightiest will that opposes, Miring all earth with their feet : Riding the flood of disease to the war-field Under the wings of the terrible legions of sorrow, Heralding kingdoms of evil. " Surely their wisdom has grappled with wisdom of virtue, Killed at the birth every law-loving instinct, Chosen a banquet of lies : Turned from dim visions of truth to seen pleasures, Answered one ' No ' to the call of clear reason within them, Sold every good to enjoyment, " Therefore the world-woes rise up and salute them as princes, Therefore the riches of malice are with them, Therefore the curse is their drink; Weakness to them is as reeds to be trampled. Beauty as flowers to be cast in the furnace of madness Lighting the halls of their revel. " But from their realm even once and again has arisen Chorus of hell-hounds in chase of a captive Springing through darkness to light. Outstretching hands that are blood-stained and bleeding, Faint as a perishing infant for water of mercy. Straining wild eyes to the sunlight. Denique.

" Better his case than to live in a garden of letters. Losing all self in the wise man's discourses, All the life used in the brain ; Better to climb through the dark than to mildew Rotting or rusting in beautiful chambers of plenty Whether of mind or of spirit. " Surely the glory of man is to work and work upwards, Not for toil's sake, but for something beyond it, Till his day yield unto night ; Yet shall the issue l)c wholly uncertain. Yet must his hands clench on dangers not known or expected, Yet may the sun set in tempest. "Only for me as I [)onder the flickering starlight Flashes a message unspeakably brilliant Kindled by myriad fires ; Endless and limitless oceans of silence Decked with great lights shining each in its order Tell me the end of my being. 54 Joy and Health. " For from those numberless worlds in their infinite distance Comes unto us the clear star-spangled Heaven, Sign of a limitless love ; Infinite wisdom from infinite treasures Fashions a mirror of peace for the toil-stricken mortal — Stars of sweet hope in thick darkness. " See now the night is upon us, and gone is the spell of the sunset, Only one wee rosy cloud lingers westward, All too fast fading away — Hail to thee. Holiest Night ! in thy silence Soothing the sense and unravelling quests which the day brought, Handmaid of happy contentment ! " Into thy shades I may step feehng angels around me, Winds gently lifting the slumbering blossoms. All the trees sighing above ; — Wonderful stillness ! more wonderful whisper ! Gardens and moorland and forest-clad hills are a-tremble, And my heart trembles to hear it. " Tremblings arise that are born of no fear but of impulse Pent and confined, but to rush as the river Breaking a glacier's grip — Den [QUE. 55 These have no speech save the shudder that warns me ' Hold not th)' peace I stand alone and confess to the glory ! Worship our God in the spirit !
