O GLORY EVERLASTING,

MORE THAN THIS EARTH CAN SHOW,
Where sins that are as scarlet

Shall whiter be than snow!

NONE LIVE ALONE.
[Earnest and bold.]

We live not to ourselves alone;
Each day the good or ill we do,
No matter where we may be thrown,
We surely influence others too.

An evil deed, a thoughtless word,
Or e'en a look that seems unkind,
May, like a sharp two-edged sword,
Pierce deep into some other mind.

For what we do we cannot hide;
The words we speak, the looks we look,
Will in some others' lives abide-

Some hearts will write it in their book.

Thus we to others every day
Unconsciously our influence give;

Then we should walk in wisdom's way,
REMEMBERING WE FOR OTHERS LIVE.

THE LAMP.

[Earnestly and with spirit.]

Say, is your lamp burning, my brother?
I pray you look quickly and see;
For, if it were burning, then surely

Some beam would fall brightly on me.

Straight, straight is the road, but I falter,
And oft I fall out by the way;
Then lift your lamp higher, my brother,
Lest I should make fatal delay.

There are many and many around you,
Who follow wherever you go-

If you thought that they walked in the shadow,
Your lamp would burn brighter, I know.

Upon the dark mountains they stumble,
They are bruised on the rocks, and they lie
With white, pleading faces turned upward
To the clouds and the pitiful sky.

There is many a lamp that is lighted-
We behold them anear and afar-
But not many among them, my brother,
Shine steadily on like a star.

If once all the lamps that are lighted
Should steadily blaze in a line
Wide over the land and the ocean,

WHAT A GIRDLE OF GLORY WOULD SHINE!
How all the dark places would brighten,
How the mist would roll up and away,
How the earth would laugh out in her gladness
TO HAIL THE MILLENNIAL DAY!

Say, is your lamp burning, my brother?

pray you look quickly and see;

For if it were burning, then surely

SOME BEAM WOULD FALL BRIGHTLY ON ME.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
[Cheerfully.]

The Sunday school, indulgent friends,
You so kindly patronize,

Is a cause on which the Saviour deigns
To smile forth from the skies.

The Sunday school-'TIS A GOODLY TREE,
Reared in our favour'd land,

That, watered with dews of charity,
Will o'er the world expand.

The Sunday school 'TIS A NURSERY,
Where spread and tower sublime
Trees of righteousness, that soon will be
Transplanted in heav'n's fair clime.

The Sunday school-'TIS A SWEET PASTURE,
Where buds of grace full blow,

Which Christ oft takes with tenderest care
From the storms that rage below.

The Sunday school-'TIS A DAY-SKY CLEAR,
Where truth's bright orb hath shined;
And long may it scatter darkness drear
From many a youthful mind.

The Sunday school-'TIS A BARRIER MOUNT, High raised on ruin's brink,

To prevent youth's fall-a pure free fount, Where instruction's stream they drink.

The Sunday school-'TIS A BEACON BRIGHT,
On Zion's hill it burns,

Cheering young pilgrims with its light,
As he from the dark world turns.

The Sunday school-'TIS A STATELY BARK,
And it bears young voyagers o'er
Life's troubled waters, waste and dark,
To eternity's bright shore.

The Sunday school, when we are low,
Will live, and still increase;

WILL ONWARD IN ITS PROgress go,
NOR CEASE TILL TIME SHALL CEASE.

NO GOOD EFFORT VAIN.
[Earnest and cheerful.]
No goodly deed is wholly lost,
No effort's made in vain,

That aims with humble trust to aid
TRUTH'S ALL TRIUMPHANT REIGN.

The seed may slumber long beneath
The chill unfeeling earth;

But genial suns and gentle dews

COMMAND TH'AUSPICIOUS BIRTH.

And all the good our hands may do
To neighbour, kindred, friend,
Shall, in the hour when heaven decrees,
Promote some gracious end.

A single earnest, truthful word,
Or look in kindness given,

May lead the wanderer back to God,
TO DUTY, AND TO HEAVEN.
The seed we sow in early youth,
And tend with earnest prayer,

Shall NEVER perish in the soil
Of cold oblivion there.

The truth we teach by word and deed,
In manhood's riper day,

SHALL LEAVE AN IMPRESS AND A HUE,
WHEN DUTY CALLS AWAY.
