LOVE'S REWARD.

By T. C. U.

The loving heart doth not regard What selfish hearts would call reward; And yet to acts of goodness true, It always hath its work to do.

To private aims and objects blind, It seeks the good of all mankind; The only aim and work it knows, Is that of healing others’ woes.

It stands, a wide and open door, Where come the lame, the sick, the poor; It heals the sick, the halt, the blind, And calms the sad and troubled mind.

’Tis thus it lives for others’ bliss, And its reward is only this— The more its love to others flows, The more its power of loving grows. —T. C. U., in Guide to Holiness.
