"GOD IS LOVE.
"All the earth, about us,
All the world above,
Tell the old sweet story,
Whisper, 'God is Love.'
Every wayside blossom
Lifts its little voice,
Every bright-eyed daisy
Bids our heart rejoice.
"Surging, seething torrent,
Bubbling, sparkling spring,
Hum of insect nature,
Birds upon the wing,
Evening's flush of beauty,
Morning's streaks of light,
Noonday's radiant glory,
All in praise unite.
"See His kind provision
Waving in the grain,
Shining in the sunbeams,
Falling in the rain;
Parching days of summer,
Cool the dewy fall,
Hoary frost of winter,
Sheltering snow o'er all.
"Swift o'er trackless region
Runs the lurid flash,
Sounds from hill to moorland,
Deep resounding crash,
Towering peak and cranny,
Eagles' dizzy height,
Dignity and splendour,
All reveal His might.
"Nature's varied voices
Chant the sweet refrain,
Echo o'er the mountain,
Linger on the plain,
Thunder in the ocean,
Whisper in the shell,
Murmur in the breezes,
Sighing in the dell.
"Shall our lips be silent?
Shall our lives be still?
Tune our hearts, O Father,
To perform Thy will;
Fill our souls with rapture,
Fill our hearts with praise,
Give us grace to follow
Gladly all our days."
M. A. E.

THE CROWN OF GOD'S CREATION.
