MANY A SWEETEST MEASURE.

Full many a sweetest measure Is struck in a minor key, And many a royal pleasure In lowliest lives may be.
For Jesus himself oft enters The humblest and poorest door, And gives from exhaustless treasures A rich and abundant store.
Pure diamonds of love and beauty, And rubies and pearls of truth, The joy of accepted duty, The hope of immortal youth.
These make all the world seem brighter, They ward off the stings of care, And bringing unnumbered blessings Enkindle the incense of prayer.
There's never a home so dreary That Christ may not enter in, And never a heart so weary That he to joy may not win. -Currie A. Breeze, in Golden Censer.
