Mary E. Allbright, in the _Christian Advocate_, writes in rime the
same lesson Jesus taught His disciples when He told them that the very
hairs of their heads were numbered, and that Paul exprest when he said
“for He (God) careth for you”:
O! strange and wild is the world of men
Which the eyes of the Lord must see--
With continents, islands, tribes, and tongues,
With multitudes, bond and free!
All kings of the earth bow down to him,
And yet--He can think of me.
For none can measure the mind of God
Or the bounds of eternity.
He knows each life that has come from Him,
To the tiniest bird and bee;
And the love of His heart is so deep and wide
That takes in even me.
(1257_a_)
What cares the babe for the blackness and the wild storm if only
the mother holds it to her bosom and croons the hymn of peace.
And in the hour when the world reels beneath his feet, frail man
becomes almost omnipotent in the thought that beneath this world
are the everlasting arms. (Text.)--N. D. HILLIS.
(1258)
