CHRIST'S LAST WORDS ON EARTH « V E shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1 :8 ). HOLDING THE ROPES D OWN beneath the mighty ocean Divers plunge for treasures rare, But men hold the ropes above them So they breathe the upper air; Seeking pearls of richest value, Braver hearts have dared to go; But our hands must every moment Hold the ropes that reach below. S O amid the heathen darkness There are heroes, true and brave, Shrinking not from death or danger, Bearing all to help and save, But they cry, “ Oh, do not leave us ’Mid these dreadful depths to drown, Let us feel your prayers around us; Hold the ropes as we go down.” W HO can understand the darkness Of those realms o f sin and death? E’en the very air is tainted With the dragon’s scorching breath. But across the wildest billows, Love can reach to distant lands, Underneath the darkest surges Prayer can hold a brother’s hands. W AS it only for your brother Jesus spake His last commands? Is there naught for you to suffer For these lost and Christless lands? If you cannot go to save them, There are those whom you can send: And with loving hearts to help them, Hold the ropes while they descend. H OLD the ropes with hands more loyal; Pray with faith and hope more strong; Love that never fails upholds them Through their night of dark so long. Lay your treasure on the altar; Let us give our children, too; There’s a part for -—ery helper And the Lord has n-rei of you.
