THE DYING UNSECTARIAN.
Yes, I know that I am dying, That this life is nearly o'or ; But the bright and blessed spirits Wait mo on that happy shore. Soon shall I have done with sorrow, Soon my soul will be at rest ; Then for me the world's to-morrow Will be changed for realms more blest. Live a life of use and goodness, Teach mankind to trust and love ; Live the life you teach to others ; Leave the rest to Him above. For the Great and Loving Father Cares not for your sect, my brother. Are you helpful, true, and manly? Do you feel for one another? Have you fed the orphan homeless ? Have you dried tho widow's tears 1 Have you cheered the sick and weary 1 Have you done your best through years? Thus the loved ones gone before us Wait for us their joys to share. Oh ! what pleasure ; Oh ! what rapture To embrace our dear ones there. True it is, this earthly parting Is to us full hard to bear. This is nought to joy eternal, Which we all may hope to share. "Very soon you'll follow af ter, When Life's fitful journey's past ; Then our spirits thus united— We'll have found true rest at last. W.E.H,
