MY GUEST.

By Lucy H. Washington

BY LUCY H. WASHINGTON.
I SAT alone and I pondered Upon the Holy Word, When my heart and soul within me Were strangely, deeply stirred.
"Fear not, I am with you alway," The words that met me there— Not heard in the thronged temple, But in my quiet chair.
"Alone," did I say? Nay, Master, Alone I can not be, Since faithful is his promise To come and sup with me.
O soul of mine, be watchful; Door of my heart, swing free, Lest the Master be kept waiting When he comes to sup with me. —Union Signal.
