SERVICE AND SACRIFICE.

O THOU who wouldst a laborer be with God, Win others to the path thy feet have trod. Advance, advance and keep thee to thy task, Give first thyself, the service thou wouldst ask. Let God speak through thee. Who would not rejoice To be a trumpet for a leader's voice? Of such a temper, all of beaten gold, That his true signals may through it be told; Of such a form, without a fleck or flaw, That it shall rightly sound his righteous law, And shout in clarion tones, distinct afar, "Enlist, enlist, and rally to this war." Strive not to sound thine own poor human words, Remember that the message is the Lord's. —Anon.
