“MY BURDEN.”

(By Amos R. Wells.)

God laid uixm my back a grievous load, A heavy cross to bear along the road. I staggered on, and, lo! one weary ny» An angry lion sprang ac ross my way. 1 prayed to God, and swift, at His command, The cross became a weapon in my hand. It slew my raging enemy, and ther. Became a cross upon my back again. 4 1 faltered many a league, until at length. Groaning, I fell and had no further strength. “Oh, God,” 1 cried, “ I am so weak and lame!” Then straight my cross a w inged st. ff became. It swept rr° on till 1 regained the loss, ' rK en leaped upon my back again a cross. I reached a desert; o’er the burning track I persevered, the cross upon my back. No shade was there, and in the cried sun I sank at last, and thought my days were done. But, lo! the Lord works many a blest surprise— The cross cam' a tree before my eyes! I sl.-'pt ; I woke to feel the strength of t°n: I found the cross upon my bark again. And thus through all mv days, from that »o this. The cross. rriv burden, has become my bliss; Nor ever shall T 1 jv the burden down. For God some day will m:>ke P'c cross a crown.
