HOW MUCH CAN I DO?

By Mrs. M. A. Loper

Not how little—how much can I do for the Master, The naked to clothe and the hungry to feed, The victims of penury, want, and disaster,— How much can I do for the great wide world's need?
Not how little—how much for the wretched, the erring, The outcasts that wander in shelter's stern quest? They are children of Jesus, man's brotherhood sharing— How much can I do for their comfort and rest?
Not how little—how much for the convicts in prison, That they the great love of the Saviour may feel? Each penny laid up in the storehouse of heaven Is safe from the rust and where thieves can not steal.
Not how little—how much for the sinner's salvation, A cup of cold water, a kind word, a prayer, A long-cherished text, with its sweet consolation, May rescue a soul from the depths of despair.
Not how little—how much; soon the call will be ended, The last offering given, the last struggle braved; When the voice of all peoples in praise shall be blended, May some soul be there that my life-work has saved.
MRS. M. A. LOPER.
