GOLDEN DAYS.

By A. R. Wilcox

O, THESE are precious golden days for work! This mortal life at best is only short, The hours on rapid wings are going by; Soon comes the night when we lie down to rest. Then work while light is shining, work to-day, To-morrow's shadowed in uncertainty. When God shall ask, what will thine answer be? "Hast thou improved the precious time I gave The best to please My just and holy name?" Our life a service is 'tis truly said, But oft they better serve who only wait, Yes, wait until the Master calls for some To do a greater work, and be content With service small if so He wills for thee, A.
