PERILOUS TIMES.

Living in perilous times, Knowing that danger is nigh, Seeing an increase of crimes, Help I would ask from on high.
Snares without number are laid, Satan with power has come down, He and his angels invade Those who would seek for a crown.
Father and Friend of the youth, Guide on my desolate way; Lead me in mercy and truth, Teach me to watch and to pray.
Wisdom of thee I would ask, Words at thy bountiful hand; A heart to perform every task, Strength to be able to stand.
So in thy kingdom at last, Happy, immortal and free, Sorrows and dangers all past, I shall be ever with thee. E. W. DARLING. Wawkon, Iowa.
