The “Signs.”

By E. F. Johnson

By E. F. Johnson, LL.M.
Perhaps I am not what a man ought to be, Whose heart to religion inclines, But sinner or saint, courageous or faint, God knows that I love the old SIGNS.
For years I have read it at home and abroad, And treasured its Scriptural lines, When sad and perplexed, or impatient and vexed, It has helped me—the blessed old SIGNS.
No cold condemnation, no caustic rebuke, Finds space in its holy designs; But mercy and love from the Father above Are declared by the faithful old SIGNS.
God grant that its readers may strive to attain The standard it clearly defines, And preach as it preaches, and live as it teaches, Consistent and truthful old SIGNS.
