Tribute to the Review.

By J. A. Dayton

YES, I'll e'er with welcome greet thee, Rich instruction thou dost give. Many a weary heart doth bless thee, While thy cheering words revive. Speaks each page some truth most precious, Chasing doubt, bids none despair, God's commands, and faith of Jesus, Loveliest motto thou dost wear.

Blessed Herald! I will prize thee! Like the Sabbath, thou dost come Once in seven days, to bless me, While I, toiling, journey on. Heart to kindred heart cementing, Oft they to each other speak, Joy with those who are rejoicing, Weeping, aye, with those that weep.

Speed thee on thy glorious mission! Life, and light, and joy impart. Scattering truth, and love, and gladness, Healing many a wounded heart. Speed! thy work will soon be ended! Swift the approaching night draws near! But the good thou hast accomplished, Shall by morning light appear.
