TIME FLIES.

By Mary E. Guilford

The moment that's passing is all we can claim; Then let us be faithful our work to perform. Encourage the weak ones, the erring reclaim, That all may find shelter from earth's coming storm.
The days of probation will soon have an end, The work of salvation our hearts should employ. Soon Jesus from Heaven to earth will descend To gather his saints, and the wicked destroy.
Shall these precious moments pass by unimproved, Till the summer is ended, the harvest is past? The jewels all gathered, to Heaven removed, And we be cut off with the wicked at last?
Shall we undervalue the great ransom paid, And thus judge ourselves all unworthy of life? Forbid it, my Lord; may we lean on thine aid To succor and save mid the world's ceaseless strife.
O slumberer, wake! heed the moments that pass; Make sure of salvation now while the time flies, That you, with rejoicing, may hail at the last The morn of bright glory so soon to arise.
MARY E. GUILFORD. Castalia, Ohio.
