 4 The Fountain from the Rock. 
 
 1 I HAVE come to tlie fountain that flows 
 
 from tlie Hock, 
 The Rock that was smitten for me; 
 For I heard a sweet voice gently speak 
 to my soul: 
 " come to the waters so free."

 tlie Rock, 
 What tide.-! of salvation outpour! 
 'Tis Cor you, 'tis for me, hallelujah! 
 Take freely, and thirtt nevermore.

 from the Ko;k, 
 Sweet peace, like a beautiful dove, 
 Nestles down in my heart, while the 
 Spirit divine. 
 Awakens the nnisic of love. 
 
 3 There is stren'j:th at the fountain (hat 
 
 flows from the Rock, 
 For lile ev'-rla^tiiig is there; 
 And the soul gains a power that v.-ill 
 
 victory win, 
 In hours of temptation and care. 
 
 4 I'll abide by the fountain that flows 
 
 from the Rock, 
 And sink 'neath its bright, cleansing 
 waves ; 
 All its waters are sparkling Avith heav- 
 enlv light; 
 Our Je?us abundantly saves.

 Say not: "I am humble and lowly, 
 
 And little can do if I would." 
 Remember that Jesus, the Holy, said of 
 one: 
 "She hath done what she could." 
 Some names shall, like stars, shine for-

 Whii'h few of this world ever knew ; 
 They sought with most earnest e ndeavor : 
 "Lord, what wilt thou have me to

 Do vou pray to the "Lord of the har-

 That he would more laborers send 
 To the fields that from you are the far-

 Neglecting those you should have 
 gleaned? 
 Cease not in the earnest petition. 
 For the laborers tiuly are few, 
 Remembering to make this addition:

 On the bright and happy shore.

 In love and compassion divine ; 
 And' now through the mercy of him

 We follow the scarlet line.' 
 Our lives are protected with Passover

 Our walls with his covenants shine; 
 While Mercy and Pardon forever have 
 stood 
 In love by the scarlet line.

 How Justice and Mercy were called tu

 And bound by the scarlet line, 
 Then hope came to earth with a heart- 
 cheering word, 
 And sung of this life-giving sign; 
 And Faith quickly shouted her triumph 
 in God, 
 That came through the scarlet line. 
 
 3 Xo more will the altars of victims 
 arise, 
 Or flames from the offerings shine; 
 For life from the Lord has come down 
 from the skies. 
 That ran through the scarlet line. 
 O holy, compassionate Lamb that was 
 slain, 
 We live in this blessing of thine, 
 And, bound by the cords that forever 
 remain, 
 We trust in the scarlet line.

 He waits to bid them welcome, he longs

 Of the precious blood of Jesus, that

 A voice sweetly whispered to me, 
 Saying: "Christ the Redeemer hath

 To save a poor sinner like thee." 
 I listened, and lo! 'twas the Saviour 
 That was speaking so kind to me. 
 I cried : " I'm the chief of sinners; 
 Thou, cans't save a poor sinner like

 Often hindered in my journey 
 By the ghosts of doubts and fears, 
 
 Broken vows and disappointments 
 Thickly sprinkled all the way, 
 
 But the Spirit led, unerring, 
 To the land I hold to-day. 
 
 I am drinking at the fountain, 
 
 Where I ever would abide; 
 For I've tiisted life's pure river, 
 
 And my soul is satisfied ; 
 There's no thirsting for life's pleasures, 
 
 Nor adorning, rich and gay. 
 For I've found a richer treasure. 
 
 One that fadeth not away. 
 
 Tell me not of heavy crosses, 
 
 Nor the burdens hard to bear. 
 For I've found this great salvation 
 
 Makes each burden light appear; 
 And I love to follow Jesus, 
 
 Gladly counting all but dross, 
 Worldly honors all forsaking 
 
 For the glory of the Cross. 
 
 tlie Cross has wondrous glory! 
 
 Oft I've proved this to be true; 
 When I'm in the way so narrow 
 
 I can see a pathway through; 
 And how sweetly Jesus whispers: 
 
 "Take the Cross, tliou need'st not

 For I've tried this way before thee. 
 
 And the glory lingers near."

 THE CHHiSTIflfl SOIiDlEH 
 
 IS UNIQUE ; IT FILLS A PLACE OF ITS OWN. 
 
 We have long had our heart set on the enlargement and improve- 
 lent of it. The time has come, and so, with faith in God and 
 jnfidence in our friends, we have launched a sixteen page journal. 
 
 ev. L. L. Pickett continues as editor; Rev. J. B. Culpepper, as- 
 xiate. Please note the new departments. The page on Bible 
 tudy will interest and help those who love the Word of God. 
 
 he department of Music will contain a song in each issue ; also 
 fetches of noted musicians, incidents connected with song and 
 Dpropriate articles concerning chcirs, the cultivation of music 
 -id kindred themes 
 
 The page devoted to revivals will contain reports of meetings, 
 le movemenls of the workers, articles from able writers, and 
 :ible exegesis concerning revivals and revival themes. 
 
 The Woman's page is in charge of Mrs. Sarah H. Sawyer, of 
 /ilmore, Ky. Those who knov.' her expect a live page. 
 
 The Home Circle is in chars^c of IV/rs. L. L. Pickett. Wilmore, 
 .y. We believe every thing i i t:iis department will be of interest 
 ) lovers of th3 home. Make t.ie home pure, happy, religious, 
 id socieiy will be pure and government strong and incorruptible, 
 or the Sabbath department we have secured a series of articles 
 om the pen of Rev. W. F. Crafts. President ol the National 
 ureau of Reform, on " The Sabbath and its Enemies." This 
 ■ill bs illu=;trated, and net a line of it should be missed by friends 
 f the Lord's day. Another series, by Rev. Isaac H. Beardsley, 
 ititled, ""Is Sunday the Sabbath of the New Testament," is 
 'orthy of very special attention. He is a champion of the 
 christian Sabbath versus the legalized Saturday-Sabbath of 
 jventh -day keepers. These friends are lending their energies to 
 Dnvince the world that Saturday is the true Sabbath. Those 
 'ho read Mr. Beardslev's articles will certainlv have no more 
 ■Quble on that line. If you have friends perplexed concerning 
 cereal Sabbath be sure to put ''The Christian Soldier" in their 
 ands. It will do them good. We also have secured some other 
 ble writers on prohibition, and themes of general interest. We 
 ame esoecially Rev. H. R. Withers, of Arkansas, a consecrated 
 lan, a keen writer; and Miss Mary McGee Snell, of Mississippi, 
 xtensively known as a Christian worker, an accomplished writer, 
 
 poet of no mean ability. 
 
 We also propose to furnish in each issue the picture of some 
 .oted reformer or Christian worker. 
 
 Now remember this whole treat may be yours for a year for 
 mly 50 cent=, or for $i.2s we will credit your subscription for 
 hree years. We want i.ooo preachers added to our list at once, 
 nd so will send to all ministers at only 40 tents a year, or three 
 'ears paid in advance for 5i .00. 
 
 Send subscriptions and make checks and money orders payable to
