OUR HOME IS NOT HERE.

By A. P. Patten

THIS world with all its glittering show, Its pleasures gay, and scenes of woe, Is not the home for me ; A pilgrim here I only stay, Striving to walk in wisdom's way, Until the Lord we see.
The path that worldlings love so well, Though fair it looks it leads to hell, And ends in bitter woe ; With pilgrims here I fain would shun All wicked ways, and try to learn The way in which to go.
The meek and humble Christian band, Who walk together hand in hand, As through this world they roam ; With them I'll say, we're strangers here, And followers of the Saviour dear, Seeking a heavenly home. A. P. PATTEN. Clay, N. Y.
