Miscellaneous.

By Eliza H. Morton

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.

JESUS KNOWS.

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
HE who formed the world And all therein Can read the human heart And see its sin.
No costly robe, no cloak, No veil of pride Can cover one dark blot, Or error hide.
The world with flattering praise May sing its song, But know, O mortal man, 'Tis not for long.
Messiah, Christ, the Lord Seeks moral worth. His children all must be Of royal birth.
He takes the sinner vile, Forgives his wrong, And puts within his heart Redemption's song.
And then henceforth that heart Honest must be, Honest with God and man. Jesus can see.
Mistakes he covers o'er, And loves the same, For Jesus pities man, He knows his frame.
But no deceit can stand Before his frown; All hypocrites at length Will be cast down.
North Deering, Maine.
