HIS PRESENCE.

By Rev. B. K. Kidder, Ph.D.

THE Master spake to me. I knew His voice. No personality Of human friend, by word or act, could be More surer known, as to the mind He gave Assurance of His love and power to save.

The Master walked with me. I knew His presence, tho I could not see His face, as when He walked in Galilee. The inner eye beheld Him; and the sight Filled all the earth and sky and mind with light.

"Yet not for self alone," He gently whispered, "are these mercies shown, But for the desolate who have not known The love I bear them, and who would not see Or know Me near, were I not seen in thee."

That He may live in me Henceforth, His life of blessed ministry Is all my prayer for self; then men may see The Christ of God once more in haunts of pain, And know that God is love, and trust again. —Rev. B. K. Kidder, Ph.D.
