POINT UNTO JESUS.

By Ernest Tegart

Do you know a friend that hungers For some word of love and cheer? Look all o'er the land and ocean, Look around you far and near; Do not step from duty's pathway, Tell about the wily foes, How at last you met and conquered, Through the help that God bestows.

It may be he stands and falters On the brink of sin and wrong; Show him how much Jesus loves him, How each mouth will sing the song O'er the last of foes triumphant, In a land where sin has ceased, Where true hearts, so long been sundered, Will again unite in peace.

O my brother, save the dying, All about you they are cast; Bid them now to look on Jesus, He can save them from the past. If they'll turn their eyes but forward, They may see what Christ will give; Tho your sins are now like scarlet, You may look on Him and live.

"Cast thy bread upon the waters," Leave it there in Jesus' care; Draw thy soul toward the hungry, Hold them up in silent prayer. It may be that when Christ cometh, You may hear it said, "Well done, Enter now into the kingdom, When the race of life is run." ERNEST TEGART.
