' Having this Hope ' flood-bye, dear Love I Tho' bp*Tte are sad at patting, eyes are dim, The* hands clasp hands with yearning thrill and touch, Tho* lips areEtill and heart* too full fcr speech, Tho' eyes mjct eyes with looks that mean bo much— Yet one glad hope shines forth o er all our pain, . • God shall be with us till wo meet again/ Good-bye, dear Love! My Gcd is thy God, and thy creed u mine, . ]fy joy?, my hopes are only found in thee! Tby faith is my faith, in one light we walk,
And when thcu prayeat breathe a prajer for me! So now, tho' parted be our journey's twain, fn God's own time, dear, we shall meet again. —lrkne Fbeelove. PERSEVERANCE. Hope hid tfca timidness of doubt, And knocked again where she had been A aupplioant for years and years— But never yet had entered in. Then Faith, arcmed from dreams at last, Opened the door. ' Ab, I have been Sleeping,' she said,' until you knocked! Bat you are welcome —enter in !' —Alotbixjs Coli.
