MORE AND LESS.

One day more, one day less— Thus along our life we press. One day more of life is given, One day less we have to live, One day nearer now to Heaven, One day less now to the grave.
One day less, and one day more— Farther out, and nearer shore; Farther from the sailing day, Nearer to the canvas furled; Gliding from our youth away, Closer to another world.
One day more, and one day less. Oh! the solemn thoughts that press! One day's prayers again have risen, One day's prayers less to arise. Love we less our earthly prison? Long we more for purer skies?
One day less, and one day more. Weaker, stronger than before? Weaker to the chains of sin? Farther on the upward road? Weaker to the fears within? Stronger in the love of God?
One day more, and one day less. Less distrust, more righteousness? O that ever while we live, Stepping on from day to day, God would greater favors give, Wash more sinfulness away! —Prot. Churchman.
