SHALL I BE READY?

By Mary M. Buckland

By MARY M. BUCKLAND.

Will the work that I am doing Stand the test of that great day, When the Lord will come to judgment, All that's wrong to sweep away ?

Will he speak the words of welcome When he comes to claim his own? Will he say, Thou hast been faithful; All thy work has been well done?

Have I built on the foundation, On the rock that's firm and true? Have I made a full surrender, Striving with my might to do

All the work the Master gives me, With my armor ever bright, Walking in the narrow pathway, Ever keeping in the light?

Oh! I must be more in earnest. I must seek the Lord to-day, Choose him as my only portion While in this dark world I stay. —Albion, N. Y.
