THE MEASURE OF LIFE.

By Joel Swartz

[Joel Swartz, D. D., in S. S. Times.]
"METHUSELAH lived," and this beside, "Nine hundred years and sixty-nine; Had sons and daughters, and he died." The record adds no other line.
Like some huge saurian on the strand Of some far-off, oblivious shore, He left these tracks upon the sand Of his long wanderings,—nothing more.
But three years, near another sea, One walked whose steps mark every shore; He died, the Man of Galilee, And lo! He lives forevermore.
