He widened his acquaintance with the Bible, which was to remain, all his life, his daily com panion and guide. “ No one can understand Woodrow Wilson without knowing his deep religious foundations.”

Hushed, at the dawning of the year, I stand. The gates are closed behind me; I must go. I shade my eager eyes with trembling hand; The way is dim before— I do not know Just where the pathway lies. Pitfalls may wait My unaccustomed feet. Lord, be Thou near, For I must on— I cannot hesitate. Hold Thou my hand and I shall laugh at fear. :—J. D, Finel (C.ameron, Ida.).
My barque is sailing on the tide, I know not whither it may g o ; I know Who is my Guide. The harbor may be very near;
But this I know— for weal or woe,
Sometimes I all but catch the gleam O f harbor lights across the stream, And hope brings radiant cheer. But, looking backward through the years, My service seems both mean and small, Unworthy He should note at all, All soiled and stained by faithless fears. Then comes to me the blessed thought, He measures not by earthly gauge, As though ’twere done for gold or wage, For love of Him each deed was wrought. If, when at last His face I see And cast my trophies at His feet, His words I hear, so clear and sweet, “ Thy love is what brings joy to me,” I ’ll find in this my full reward. But oh, to Him I long to bring Rich trophies, meet for my King, When I shall stand before my Lord.
