THE ANGELS' RECORD.

By Mrs. E. R. Lewis

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Rev. 20:12. "For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal. 6:7.

Is it true that in the courts of heaven, Before the Father's throne, A record stands of all our work, Of every seed that's sown? Then what has been my sowing to-day, What will the angels' record say?

Is it true they understand our thoughts And chronicle them with care? Will that record fix our destiny For glory or despair? Have all my thoughts been pure to-day? What will the angels' record say?

Yes, for each idle word we speak, And every evil thought, The Lord hath said that every one Should be to judgment brought. Then what have you been sowing to-day? What would you have the angel say?

Yes, soon, ah, soon, in the clouds of heaven The Judge shall be revealed! The sentence passed by heaven's court Can never be repealed. Then, precious soul, make no delay; Examine the seed you are sowing to-day.
