"THE BOND OF PEACE."

By Mrs. R. Smith

When love unites the saints, There'll be no sad complaints, Against each other; No bitter root will spring, A wrong report to bring, Against a brother;

Each will delight to see Sweet peace and harmony, And long for more; God's love the heart will fill, And selfish motives kill, As ne'er before.

In union there'll be strength, Through all the breadth and length, Of this grand host; Armed for the battle field, No point of truth they'll yield, Firm at their post.

And when the battle's o'er, They're safe forevermore, With Christ their King; Through him they gain their crown, And lay their weapons down, And victory sing. West Wilton, N. H. Mrs. R. SMITH.
