WAYSIDE MINISTRIES.
THE TOUCH OF GOD. Ye whose hearts are fresh and simpro, Who have faith in God and nature, Believe ye that in all ages Every human heart is human, That in even savage bosoms ; There are longings, yearnings strivings, For the good they comprehend not, That the feeble hands and helpless Groping blindly in the darkness, Touch God’s right hand in that darkness, And are lifted up and strengthened. —H. W. Longfellow. •ft ft ft ft To go on for ever and fail, and go on again, And be mauled to the earth and arise, And contend for the shade of a word, And a thing not seen with the eyes, With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night, That somehow' the right is the right, And the smooth .shall bloom from the rough, Lord, if that were enough. —R. L. Stevenson.
