whatever manner He may make you a minister of His love and mercy. "Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."

Let a little child lead you. Let her dying message whisper to some that sit at ease in Zion, careless that others' souls partake not of the free grace bestowed on them.

"FETCH THEM IN, AND TELL THEM OF JESUS -TELL THEM OF JESUS."

THE CHILD'S MESSAGE.

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."-Rev. xxii. 17.

"CALL them in," the poor, the wretched, sin-stained wand'rers from the fold;

Peace and pardon freely offer; can you weigh their worth with gold?"

"Call them in," the weak, the weary, laden with the doom of sin;

Bid them come and rest with Jesus, He is waiting,

"Call them in."

"Call them in," the Jew, the Gentile, bid the stranger to the feast;

"Call them in," the rich and noble, from the highest to the least.

Forth the Father runs to meet them, He hath all their sorrows seen;

Robe and ring and royal sandal wait the lost ones, "Call them in."

"Call them in," the broken-hearted, cow'ring 'neath the brand of shame;

Speak love's message, low and teuder, “'Twas for sinners Jesus came."

See! the shadows lengthen round us, soon the daydawn will begin;

Can you leave them lost and lonely? Christ is coming! "Call them in."

"Call them in," the little children, tarrying far away

[blocks in formation]

Wait-oh! wait not for to-morrow, Christ would have them come to-day.

Follow on the Lamb is leading! He has conquered we shall win;

Bring the halt and blind to Jesus; he will heal them, "Call them in."

"Call them in," and swell the chorus of the angels'

song above;

Hark! they sing a Saviour's glory, and a Father's changeless love;

O'er salvation's sealed ones watching, though a vail doth float between;

Holy Spirit, by thy power, call-oh! call the wand'rers in.

"Call them in," the Master waiteth, save them from the snares of hell;

Rest ye 'neath the blood-stained lintel ?—of the grace that seeks them tell.

Hark! upon the crowded highway, and amid the city's din,

Sounds a Child's voice, sweet and solemn--"OH BE SURE AND CALL THEM IN!"

The Crooked Stick.

"WHAT DOTH THE LORD REQUIRE OF THEE?" Micah vi. 8.
