A CAUTION.

By Mrs. S. R. Morgan

Take care; crush not one germ of good In rooting evil out; Be sure the heart is understood You are employed about. The flower beside the weed oft grows, And none at first the difference knows.
Take care; be cautious where you tread, Along another’s road; It may with precious seeds be spread Fresh from the hand of God, Waiting the sunshine and the dew, Which might be ministered by you.
Oh! who hath felt no sudden smart At some remembered hour, When, thoughtless of a yearning heart, He lost the sacred power Which then and only then was given To win it to the truth and Heaven!
We each and all an influence To work some good possess; We daily may some joy dispense, Some human spirit bless. If we can give but love and prayers, ’Tis better far than gathering tares. —Mrs. S. R. Morgan.
