YEARNINGS.

By Mrs. Stratton Beers

MUCH more Christ-like would I be, More like Him who died for me. May his love shine through my eyes, Into mind and make it wise.
May my voice in accent sweet, Tell his saving power complete. Daily grow my life more pure; Like an anchor hope more sure.
May the voice of God's dear word, In my ears more oft be heard; All my walk with it accord, Each step shown me by my Lord.
Daily may I less and less, Trust my own self-righteousness! May his Spirit fill me quite, Putting "self" all out of sight.
May I grow by his dear grace, Into likeness of his face; And when the glad "shout" shall sound Without blemish I be found, Waiting with a sweet surprise To be "caught up to the skies." —Mrs. Stratton Beers, in Sabbath Recorder. Oakland, Cal., Sept. 3, 1883.
