MISSIONS

By Maidie E. Barnitz

OUR PRESENT HELP.

TIRED out with centuries of care, And sordid strife for gain, The weary world seeks for its rest, And would forget its pain.
Looks through the year's long reach to find Its Lord, Redeemer, King, To pause before a manger stall, Where lies the weakest thing.
O mighty nations in your power Which would your prestige keep! Stand back awhile! Reverse your laws! Here lies a child asleep!
Hush all the hurry and the noise, By which ambition lives, And learn to know life's larger part, The King-like power which gives.
Then through each altering phase of all, Take it what form it may, Where weakness reaches hands for aid The Christ still comes to-day.
Berkeley, Cal. Maidie E. Barnitz.
