A PERSONAL QUESTION.
Who of us know The heartaches of the restless crowds we meet Each day ofi passing on the busy street— The woes and cares that ever round them press, Forebodings that their inmost soul distress ? Who of us know ? Do you ? Who of us think Of how hot tears have traced the smiling cheek Of scores we meet, who would not dare to speak The pangs they feel, the burdens that they bear Each hour that passes through the solemn year? Who of us think ? Do you ? Who of us care To try and understand their pain and grief, And toil to bring to breaking hearts relief ; To lessen much the burden of their care By tender word, by loving look, and prayer ? Who of us care 1 Do you ? Who of us strive To help these slaves in devil’s fetters bound, The fallen, ruined, damned ones all around; The human wrecks on deadly breakers tossed — _ By pointing them to Him Who saves the lost 7 _ „ Who of us strive ? Do you 7 —Rawei Francis, Geraldine.
