THE THREE WATCHWORDS.

To watch, to wait, to work; Ah me, the fiery sun, The level, treeless, barren, dew-drained fields— I would the work was done!
To watch, to work, to wait; Ah me! the tedious roar Of wreck-strewn oceans overroofed with clouds— I would the watch were o'er!
To wait, to work, to watch; Ah me! thou absent Friend, Comest thou quickly? So thou saidst. I would The waiting had an end!
My soul, be still and strong. Sight follows after faith In all advancement of the true and good; He cometh as he saith.
My soul, be still and strong. Here on thy Lord's estate No place is useless, no experience vain; Work on, watch on, and wait.
—Examiner and Chronicle.
