AN EXPERIENCE.

By S. O. James

S. O. JAMES.
My ruin seemed almost complete, My shattered castles round me lay; The one who studies my defeat Had triumphed o’er my soul that day. How could I so unkindly speak, And wound the friend I loved so dear? Why is my heart so false and weak? I asked, while fell the bitter tear.
Father, my inmost soul convert; Then I’ll be steadfast, faithful, true; And let me help the ones I’ve hurt, And run with joy my journey through. I would not mourn in dark despair. In spite of all the foes of God, I will his wondrous love declare, And meekly kiss the chastening rod.
