THE LIVING WRITING.

By L. C. Littell

[By Rev. L. C. Littell, in Sunday-School Times.]

WHEN Pharaoh sat upon old Egypt's throne And proudly reigned o'er all the Nilian land, Majestic grandeur rose at his command And flourished there. A Memphian wrote on stone Of his great splendor, so that not alone The present, all might see his glorious hand. To this same end, a man of Nineveh planned On fire-tried bricks, to thus engrave what shone So brightly in his day. Behold the dust! It speaketh not of either. Galilee SAW One write on the ground. None then could see How glorious was He, or worthy trust; But men to-day read o'er and o'er again His living writing on the souls of men.
