THE UNNOTICED BOUND.

By W. R. Cochrane, D. D.

WHEN, passing southward, I may cross the line Between the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean, I may not know by any test of mine, By any startling sign or strange commotion Across my track; But, as the days grow brighter, one by one, And e'en the icebergs melt their hardened faces, And sailors linger, basking in the sun, I know I must have made the change of places Some distance back.

When, answering timidly my Master's call, I passed the bourne of life in coming to Him— When, in my love for Him, I gave up all, The very moment that I thought I knew Him I can not tell; But as increasingly I feel His love, As this cold heart is melted to o'erflowing, And now so clear the light comes from above, I wonder at the change, and move on, knowing That all is well! —W. R. Cochrane, D. D.
