THE MACEDONIAN CRY.

By Mrs. M. C. Proudfit

BY MRS. M. C. PROUDFIT.

A FORM with a gesture of pleading Is seen in a vision of night; “Come over, come over and help us! O, show us the pathway of light!

“No news of salvation has reached us, No light has shined in on our gloom, No rest for the weary been told us; There's nothing beyond the dark tomb.

“With hearts overburdened with sorrow, And lives that with care are oppressed, Forever we look through the darkness And long for a place where there's rest.

“Come over, come over, and tell us, Encompassed with care and with strife, With burdens too heavy to carry, Is this all? Is this all of life?

“Is there naught that will lighten our burdens, And give to this life more of bliss? Is there nothing beyond life's dark border When done with the sorrows of this?

“O, if there be over the border A home where the weary find rest, Then teach us, come over and teach us, The way to the home of the blest!”

—Gospel in All Lands.
