COMMUNION WITH JESUS.

A Persian fable says: One day A wand'rer found a lump of clay So redolent of sweet perfume, Its odor scented all the room. “What art thou?” was his quick demand. “Art thou some gum from Samarcand? Or spikenard in a rude disguise? Or other costly merchandise?” “Nay, I am but a lump of clay.”
“Then whence this wondrous sweetness—say?” “Friend, if the secret I disclose, I have been dwelling with the rose.” Meet parable! For will not those Who love to dwell with Sharon’s rose Distil sweet scents o’er all around, Though poor and mean themselves be found? Good Lord! abide with us, that we May catch these odors fresh from thee! —Sel.
