YOUR MESSAGE.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

WHAT is your message, friend, I ask, To those you meet? Has it a certain sound to-day, In home and street,— A message true, The world now due?

Long years ago a holy man Proclaimed to all: "The heavens will open, and a Flood Of rain will fall." That message true, Just then was due.

And in the wilderness a voice Of power was heard: "Prepare the way for Christ your Lord— The living Word." That message true Just then was due.

And all along the ages dark The light has beamed. From torches held by steadfast hands Bright rays have gleamed, And men proved true When truth was due.

And now the consummation grand Of all is near; The King of kings in royal robes Will soon appear, This message true Just now is due.

And will you not, kind friend, I ask Take up the cry: Redemption from the curse of sin, A kingdom nigh? Be brave, be true, Speak what is due.

North Deering, Me.
