HIS CROSS AND MINE.

By Mrs. Worthie H. Holden

MRS. WORTHIE H. HOLDEN.

One look at Calvary,—my heart of stone Gave homage to its King before unknown; One look,—the deadly serpent-wound was healed,— Methought my soul for aye salvation sealed,

But Calvary's mount still stands for you and me, Moriah will fore'er an offering see; Each day by faith I view the Crucified Else were new life unto my soul denied.

None else for us could open heaven's door; No one save He could bear the cross he bore; Yet “he who would my true disciple be Must daily take his cross and follow me.”

No deed of might or valor known to fame, No martyr's laurel, nor a hero's name, But daily, hourly, midst the strife of sin To prove that Love Divine abides within.

That which doth vex my life, threatening its joy, My neighbor might not in the least annoy; No heart can know another heart save He, Who, knowing all, bestows his sympathy.

Let naught obscure thy cross, O Lord, from view,— Each day may hope and faith thy love renew; And ever may I fully follow thee E'en here and now, and through eternity.
