SOMEONE PRAYING FOR YOU.

By Mrs. M. E. Durkee

BY MRS. M. E. DURKEE.

THERE is someone praying for you, my brother; There is one who cares for your soul; You are helpless, sick, and forlorn, my brother, But Christ can make you whole. You have tried the pleasures of earth, my brother, You have counted loss and gain; You have toiled both early and late, my brother, But it brought only fruit of pain.

And where are you drifting now, my brother? What charms has earth for you? With gold and silver you cannot buy One grain of happiness true. In God's own word there are mines of wealth That would give you blessings untold,— Wisdom, and joy, and peace, and health, And a home in the city of gold.
