GLORYING IN THE CROSS.

By Mrs. M. Stratton Beers

"In the cross of Christ I glory," Knowing naught but his dear will; Praying ever, "Count me worthy Thy behests to swift fulfill."

"In the cross of Christ I glory," Daily bending 'neath my own, Toiling on in glad submission, For he leaves me not alone.

"In the cross of Christ I glory," Though the world looks on in scorn; What care I for "light afflictions"? Soon will dawn redemption's morn.

If in Christ's dear cross we glory, His appearing we will love, Longing for the trumpet's sounding, That shall call us up above. —Mrs. M. Stratton Beers.
