Faith and Prayer.

By A. S. H.

BRO. WHITE: I copy the following lines for the Review thinking they may comfort some lonely afflicted heart. A. S. H.
WHEN dark clouds are gathering o'er us, Let our hopes be fixed above; When life seems all dark before us, Let us seek our Father's love.
He's all pity and compassion, We are prone to go astray, He will still each rising passion, He will be our guide and stay.
Can we doubt God's power to shield us Since the thorn-crowned Jesus died? Since his blood was split to heal us, Need we stronger proof beside?
There are joys too pure to perish, They are won by faith and prayer; Joys that Christians shrine and cherish, When the heart is worn with care.
Come, ye sad and tired and weary, Come and taste the bread of life; Friends may fail, and life seem dreary, There's a balm for care and strife.
Seek for gems all pure and peerless, Set in diamonds bound to shine; Faith will never leave thee cheerless, Prayer will soothe the down-cast mind.
