IS IT ALL A "HAPPEN SO"?

By Laura C. Hutchins

BY LAURA C. HUTCHINS.
It is wondrous queer, as from year to year, While the seasons come and go, How the grass is grown, and the stars move on, If 'tis all a "happen so."
While a watch that's planned by a skilful hand Of its maker's skill will tell, Doth creation grand, so wisely planned, Speak its Maker's name as well?
Ah, better than mirth, or the wealth of earth, The treasures God's words unfold! Take time, then, to look in His sacred Book For the home amid pearls and gold.
O, worship the One who upholds the sun, The earth, and the rolling spheres, Who careth for grief, and bringeth relief, And drieth the mourner's tears!
