FREF/ICE
EALIZING the fact that many busy teachers in cities, as well as many in districts remote from centres, have difficulty in collecting suitable and pleasing material for use in Sunday Schools and Junior Societies, this little cluster of " Song and Study " is prepared in the hope that it may help supply this acknowledged deficiency.
Several of the songs are published here for the first time, after having been tested in many schools of Massachusetts, giving much pleasure to the children and satisfaction to the teachers. Others are some of the choicest ol child songs from well-known writers.
The Bible Studies are a series of exercises which are used in Primary Classes and Junior Societies in a Supplemental Course of Study to be persued before the Certificate of Promotion is awarded. It is found that if from three to five minutes a session are spent upon these exercises, progressing step by step, the average child learns them with ease during the four or five years he is under the instruction of the Primary or Junior teacher.
In following these exercises it is helpful to supply children with copies, so they may learn to sing the songs and draw the black-board outlines at home, thus interesting parents in their progress and supplementing the teacher's work in the class.
Trusting that these songs and studies will help to make great truths attractive to little thinkers, and prove to be Bible lamps for little feet, they are sent forth "In His Name" to have their influence in the hearts and lives of
children to whom they may be taught.

" Give us light amid our darkness; Let us know the good from ill; Hate us not for all our blindness; Love us, lead us, show us kindness, You can make us what you will.
"We shall be what you will make us,- Make us wise and make us good; Make us strong for time of trial; Teach us temperance, self-denial, Patience, kindness, fortitude."
^^^INTRODUCTORY^^^^
THIS book is worthy of a wide circulation. It satisfies a felt want among the Primary and Intermediate Sunday-schools of all denominations. It is unique. It is not a copy of other productions. It was born of earnest prayer and Christian love in the clear brain and consecrated life of its gifted author. It is not published to win popularity. Its author does not seek or need it. It has found its way into type through the persistent solicitation of practical Sunday-school workers, who realize its value and have witnessed the remarkable results of the use of its methods and exercises. It sho-ws how Primary and Intermediate Sunday-school Teachers can achieve the largest possible success in their work. Its suggestions will create in our children true love for Christ and deep reverence for His Word. It will cause them to become rooted and grounded in Biblical truth. It furnishes faithful, intel- ligent Christian teachers with desirable exercises, easy of comprehension, attractive and spiritual; together with the key by which they may gather equally pertinent lessons from the rich store houses of Divine Revelation. Its practicability cannot be over-estimated.
Never were there greater efforts than are made to-day to capture the chil- dren for God or Satan. The various "Young People's Societies" and "Bands'' of this and other lands, in their social, benevolent, literary, and religious efforts, seeking, " in the name of the Master," to save the youth of our age, are con- fronted by equally earnest "Young People's Societies " and "Bands," with social, benevolent, literary, and irreligious efforts, to ruin the youth of our age. Their conflict is tremulous with the most momentous consequences. Ulti- mately truth will prevail. Its possessors will become conquerors, and more than conquerors. Divine providence, therefore, has placed the intelligent study of the Bible, the knowledge Nof its vitalizing truths and the experience of its
INTRODUOTOEY
wonderful life at the center of all centers in this conflict. The victor in life's battles must be clothed with the whole armor of God, and wield the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. The earlier this is done the better. Children may become experimental Christians. Watts, Wesley, Simpson, Lady Huntington, Hannah More, and thousands of others illustrate this truth. Miss Bertha Vella, in this book, shows clearly how it can be realized, and thereby will hasten the day when all our " children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of our children." Her position as a recognized leader in the " Forward Movement " of the Sunday-school work, brings her weekly before Sunday-school Conventions and Primary and Intermediate Teachers' Unions, and has enabled her to realize the real needs of these most important departments of Sunday-school instruction. The methods of instruction, and the illustrations contained in these pages, have been found admirably adapted to the wants of many Sunday-schools, and have been used with great profit in the Primary and the Intermediate Sunday- schools, of which she is a most successful and dearly beloved superintendent.
Among the royal treasures at Dresden is a silver egg. Press the ends firmly and it opens and reveals a gold yolk. Press the yolk and its ends fly apart and a beautiful bird appears. Touch a spring near the bird's wing, its wings rise and a gold crown studded with precious jewels is thrown out. That crown has a spring which when touched reveals a most costly diamond ring.
This unique book is a silver egg, valuable in its workmanship and design. Studied carefully, golden lessons, thoughts and suggestions are revealed. Its methods, when mastered and applied, make the Word the bird of sweetest songs to teacher and scholars, leading them to discover the jewels that adorn lives of noblest manhood and womanhood and to secure that membership in God's family of which the costly ring is a fitting emblem. As lovers of Christ and His little ones, we are under great obligations to Miss Vella for this prac- tical helper in Sunday-school work,

The Two Ways.
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction. . . Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the wav, which leadeth unto life."— Matt. 7: 13, 14.

1. There are two ways built for lit-tle feet: One looks broad and sunny,
2. Tho' the way of lite is rough and strait, Tliere are hid-den flowers:
3. O 'tis sweet to know that day by day Je - sus walks beside me;
But the thorns are hid by flowers sweet, Yielding poison hon - ey. And the pathway thro' the narrow gate, Leads to E - den bow-ers. With my hand in His I can-not stray. Safely He will guide me.
Which way to - day? Which way are you trav-'ling? In the

Our Hands for Jesus. Concluded.
1 Jesus, take our hands in Thine, Lead us gently, Friend divine; Consecrate these little hands To Thy service and commands.
1st line.— Hands pressed together, ex- tended. 8d line. — Open hands, extend palms upward.
Chorus, 2d line. — Hands uplifted.
2 Little hands can clasp in prayer For God's blessing everywhere; Little hands can fold in praise, While we sing our grateful lays.
1st line. — Hands clasped; heads bowed. 2d line.— Spreading arms outward. 3d line.— Hands folded; looking up.
3 Little hands can comforts be, By their touch of sympathy; By their help in many ways, Busy hands make busy days.
1st line.— Arms around each other's shoulders. 3d line.— If for week day use, give different motions, to represent sew- ing, sweeping, etc., otherwise, present hands, palms outward.
4 Little hands their gifts can bring For the honor of our King;
Lift your hands to God above; Clap for joy, for He is love.
1st line.— Hands together, bowl shape. 3d line.— Hands uplifted. 4th line.— Clap lightly.

Sing their pleasant song of praise.
And the world shall always see Christ the Holy Child in me.

Jesns loves the little children, Knows abont their work and play;
Helps them when they try to please him, Hears them always when they pray.
Jesus thinks about the children, All the nights and all the days;
Leads the little feet that follow, Into wisdom's pleasant ways.
By-and-by for those that love him, Ho will come, some happy day;
Lead them to the pleasant pastures Of the land not far away.

As you'd have them do to you ?

That they should do to me, Oh, that's the rule for me!

A seed is but a tiny thing;
But in its heart it holds A life which grows into the plant.
And leaf and flower unfolds.
A word— it seems a tiny thing;
But God can bless it so, That it may fall in many a heart.
And like a seed may grow.

Cease to do evil and learn to do well.
Do good and sin not.
Enter not into temptation.
Fear God and keep his commandments.
Glorify God at all times.
Honor thy father and thy mother.
In everything give thanks.
Judge not.
Keep thy tongue from evil.
£iittle children, love one another.
My son, give me thine heart.
Ko man can serve two masters.
Obey your parents.
Pray without ceasing.
Quench not the Spirit.
Bemember now thy Creator.
Speak the truth.
Trust ye in the Lord forever.
Verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
"Watch and pray.
Yield yourself to God.

To build a temple to God's name: The sorrowing widow's son at Nain
Jesus raised to life again. See Dan, where Jordan's waters rise,
Beersheba nearer tropic skies; North and south these cities stand,
And mark the length of Israel's land.

There is a holy land called Palestine, Bound which the Christian heart will ever twine; Sacred each height sublime, sacred each creeping vine. Sacred each scene of thine, Blest Palestine.
There in that holy land, the feet have trod
Of prophets, priests, and kings, angels and God;
There Abram's faith was tried, there David sung and died,
There Christ was crucified, in Palestine.

Suggestions for Decoration of Platform
Decorate the church with autumn foliage, flowers and grain. Upon the platform have decorations of fruit and vegetables which can be kept to be distributed to the needy as is necessary during the winter. The arches may be made an attractive addition. Cover the frame with white cloth or paper and trim with any green vine, making the letters at the top of autumn leaves; or cover with green cambric, trim with autumn leaves, making the letters, to suit convenience, of grain or flowers, white or colored paper.
The gates should be decorated with vines or autumn leaves to correspond with the arches, and a sheaf of wheat placed in the background.
At either side of the center place a small table under each arch; on one have a basket of fruit, and on the other flowers to be distributed to the sick. The children who take part In the exercise will be pleased to do this after the service.

124 SONG AND STUDY FOR GOD'S LITTLE ONES.
Suggestions for Exercise
Notice of a Thank Offering to be made for some special object ehould be given from the pulpit and Sunday school platforms the Sabbath previous, that each person may come prepared to take part in the offering.
For the ezercises, a class of twelve young people or children who can sing should take places on the platform, each having a banner with a letter of the word " Thanksgiv- ing " on it.
The banners may be prepared easily in the following manner:
Mark out on a sheet of plain paper the shape and size required, then stencil the letters on it or cut the letter from colored paper and paste it on. The banners may be held in any simple manner, but the best way is to have a light wooden handle, long enough to rest on the floor, so all may be the same height. Have the banner fastened to this with wire.
More attractive banners may be made by using white silesia, the end cut for fringe, the letter painted or made of autumn leaves pasted on.
RECITATION — By one or three from the primary class, who stand before the larger girls while reciting.

Dost thou thank Him Dost thou see His hand in all?

[First boy remains at one side of the platform, the other four empty the contents of their baskets into the large basket for fruit, on one of the stands, and the four girls put their flowers with those on the other stand; then with baskets in hand one boy and one girl take places before each aisle.
While these are passing from the platform, each half of the class, with banners, pass in order to the right, taking places, with a space between numbers six and seven so the motto will be changed to "Giving Thanks." It will be more effective if a march is played softly during this change of positions.]

READING.- B"5f ^ Young Lady.
" And Ruth, the Moabitess, said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her. Go, my daughter. And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
" Then said Boaz unto his servant. Whose damsel is this ? And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moab- itish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab. And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens. Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, seeing I am a stranger? And Boaz saith unto her. The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wing thou art come to trust. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz com- manded his young men, saying. Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not; and let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them; and rebuke her not,
" So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley." Ruth il: 2-17.

In loud thanksgiving raise And joyful thanks proclaim

The valleys laugh and sing. To glory in your lot
Forests and mountains ring. Is comely, — but be not
The plains their tribute bring, God's benefits forgot,
The streams rejoice. Amid your mirth.

With one accord. From fields to garner throng, Bearing your sheaves along. And in your harvest song
Bless ye the Lord.

Suggestions
As far as possible have the entire department, or echool, engage in the singing, as this increases the interest.
In some cases it may be better to have a chorus from the Sunday-school to sing the carols and sit at the back or beside the platform. The singing should begin promptly after the recitations, only a chord being played by the accompanist for signal.
A small evergreen tree tastefully decorated, or a cross covered with evergreen, surmounted by a gilt star, may be placed in the center of the platform.

READING.— "The Dream Stab." ATeaoheb.
It was the eve of Christmas, the snow lay deep and white, I sat beside my window and looked into the night. I heard the church bells ringing, I saw the bright stars shine, And childhood came again to me with all its dreams divine. Then as I listened to the bells, and watched the skies afar, Out of the East, majestical, there rose one radiant star. And every other star grew pale before that heavenly glow, It seemed to bid me follow and I could not choose but go. From street to street it led me, by many a mansion fair, It shone through dingy casements on many a garret bare, From highway on to highway, thro' alley dark and cold, And where it shone the darkness was flooded all with gold. Sad hearts forgot their sorrow, rough hearts grew soft and mild, And weary little children turned in their sleep and smiled; And many a homeless wanderer uplifted patient eyes. Seeming to see a home at last beyond those starry skies. And then methought earth faded; I rose as borne on wings, Beyond the waste of ruined lives, the press of human things, Beyond the toil and shadow, above the want and woe, My old self and its darkness seemed left on earth below. And upward, onward shone the star, until it seemed to me It flashed upon the golden gates and o'er the crystal sea; And then the gates roiled backward, I stood where angels trod, — It was the Star of Bethlehem had led me up to God.

, Gift Exercise
[It is found that the true spirit of Ohristmae is promoted among the children by asking them to bring gifts for the poor. To carry out this plan, an exercise may be introduced just before the close of the recitation, "Remember the Poor." Place a crib or cradle, trimmed with evergreen, on the platform in front of the tree or cross. Let all the children who have a gift of clothing, books, or toys, pass to it and place them therein. If desired, they may remain standing about the cradle, and repeat the closing of the recitation with the other six children. It is well for the teachers to receive these gifts the day before, and wrap them into neat packages for use at the time of the service.
If preferred, each of the six boys may bring a gift to place at the foot of the tree or cross at the close of the recitation, or they may bring gifts of money to be put Into a basket placed near at hand.]

"God has kept us through the year, And in mercy brings us here; We will praise Him while we may For this glorious Easter day."
One op the Older Girls. -9; Mark xvi: 1-9; Luke
[If preferred, the story may be read from Matthew xxviii: xxiv: 1-10, or John xx: 1-18.
"This is Easter Sunday, but just what Easter means, and why we celebrate this day, perhaps some of you do not know.
"The word, from which our word Easter comes, means to raise; so when we call to-day 'Easter day,' we mean that on the day this anniversary celebrates, something was raised. That something was Christ's body, which was raised from the dead. After Jesus died upon the cross, his body was laid in a new tomb in Joseph's garden ; then a great stone was placed against the mouth of the tomb, and the stone was sealed with the king's seal, so that no one could or would ever dare to try to get in and take away the dead body of Jesus. Strong Roman soldiers marched in front of the tomb, with drawn swords in their hands, to keep every one else away.
" Very early in the morning, on the third day after his burial, there was an earthquake, and an angel came down from heaven and rolled away the great stone from the door of the tomb; and Jesus, who had been lying there dead but had returned to life again, came forth.
" We have sure proof in the Bible, that Jesus, although he was dead, really came to life again, and that he is now alive in heaven.
"It was necessary that Jesus should rise from the dead; for while he loved us so much as to die upon the cross that we might live, yet that could not save us if he had not risen again. * * * So we rejoice not only in a crucified, but also in a risen Saviour.

RECITATION.— "Why the Children Love Easteb." By one, or a number in Concert.
"The children all love Easter day, With the birds sing cheerful lay; Lily-like, with fragrance sweet. Each return of it they greet. Do you know the very reason Why they love this Easter season? If you don't, then hear me tell Why we love the day so well: It's because our dearest Friend, Who will love us to the end. When by cruel hands had died, On a cross was crucified; And tho' they'd put Him in a tomb, Cold and dark and full of gloom, Couldn't from us be kept away, Only till that bright third day.
"Then from grasp of death He rose, Laid aside the linen clothes. Strong, came forth to take above All the children of His love. So His lips are not made dumb: 'Suffer the children now to come Unto Me,' they speak again, And we listen now as then. And His hands that blessed before, Pierced now are loved the more, As He lays them on the head, — Jesus risen from the dead. Now you know why Easter day Calls the children from their play; Why with joy they gather here, Utt'ring praise from year to year. '*

138 SONG AND STUDY FOR GOD'S LITTLE ONES.
An Easter Sermon
(By A Small Boy.)
" I am going to do something that I have never tried to do before, and that is to preach a sermon. If the stones and the flowers can preach, why shouldn't litcle boys do so too?
" I have chosen a short text, and shall have a short sermon, for I know that most people like that kind of a sermon best.
"You will find my text in Matthew, 6th chapter and the 26th verse — " Consider the lilies 1 consider the lilies!'
"In taking this for my text, I was quite sure that the children would like it, because they are fond of flowers. Jesus once preached from it, so it must be a good text; and I think it is an appropriate one for an Easter sermon — that is what I am going to preach.
" Easter means that Christ rose from the dead, you have been told; but how can the lilies teach us anything about rising from the dead?
" Let us consider the lilies, and see what we can learn.
"To consider means to think carefully about, to study. I hold in my hand a lily bulb; does it look anything like the beautiful blos- soms before us? But this is what the lily comes from. If I let this bulb stay where it is, will it become a flower? We all know it will not. What must be done that we may have a flower from it? It must be buried in the earth, and after it has lain there for a while, the little sprout will begin to appear, then the leaves will shoot out of the ground, and by-and-by we shall have the flower. The lily has risen to a new life.
" Every spring-time the flowers have a resurrection, and it should remind us of our own.
"Although these bodies of ours will be laid in the grave some day, yet as God watches over the flowers and causes them to rise from the ground in the spring, so He will take care of and make us to live again.
"There is nothing pretty about this bulb; but how beautiful the flower! We look at and admire it; and Jesus said of the lilies of the field: 'Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.'
" Our bodies will return to the dust; but when they arise from the tomb, they will be more beautiful than now; they will be made like unto Christ's glorified body.
"Notice how white this lily is! White is an emblem of purity. Let no pray that our souls may be pure and white, fitted for that place where sin and death can never enter. The only way to have them so, is to have them washed in the blood of the Lamb.

" If we are Jesus' little ones, we need not fear to sleep the sleep of death, for God's loving care will be over us, and He will awake us on the Great Easter morning by-and-by, when we shall arise, beautiful and holy, to a new and glorious life." — Selected.

[This exercise was given by a class (No. 1) numbering twelve of the largest scholars in the Primary Department. One boy with crook in hand represented a shep- herd, and as large a class (No. 2) as convenient, composed of the smaller children represented a flock.
Class No. 1 was grouped at the left of the platform. Class No. 2, following the shepherd-boy, stood at the right of the platform. The shepherd-boy then walked slowly to the front of the platform and stood between the two groups,]
DIALOGUE.— Class No. 1 in concert, and Shephekd-boy.
Ques. — Shepherd, what are you doing to your sheep ?
Ans. — I am leading them out of the sheepfold.
Q. — How did they know you wanted them to leave the sheepfold ?
A. — I do not drive them, I go before them; I call each one by his own name; they know my voice and follow me.
Q. — Shepherd, what would your sheep do if a stranger, instead of you, should call them to follow him ?
A. — They would not follow a stranger; they would turn and run from him.
Q. — Where do your sheep get food to eat and water to drink?
A. — I lead them in green pastures and beside still waters.
Q. — Can the little lambs walk very far, shepherd?
A. — I carry them when they are tired, and thsn their mothers walk very close beside me.
Q. — When the night comes on what do you do with your sheep?
A. — I take them to the fold.
Q. — Does any person or anything ever trouble you in the care of your sheep?
A. — Yes, thieves try to get into the fold to steal my sheep. They do not go in by the door, but climb over the wall. The wolf, the leopard and the panther, when they are very hungry, will leap over the walls of the fold, although it is thickly covered with thorns, to get some of my sheep; but I am always ready to drive away both the thieves and the
animals. Adapted froyn Mrs. Crafts.

National Hymn.
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing ; Land where my fathers died. Land of the pilgrim's pride, From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.
My native country! thee, Land of the noble free.
Thy name I love; love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let masic swell the breeze. And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song! Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break;
The sound prolong!
Our father's God! to Thee, Author of liberty.
To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might.
Great God, our King!

Faith Sees the Final Triumph,
Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease. While others fought to win the prize.
And sailed through bloody seas ?
Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace.
To help me on to God?
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die:
They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh.
When that illustrious day shall rise.
And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies. The glory shall be Thine.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul.
Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
0 receive my soul at last!
Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, O leave me not alone.
Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed.
All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing!
Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick and lead the blu^d. Just and holy is Thy name,
1 am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am.
Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin: Let the healing streams abound:
Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
Bock of Ages,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed. Be of sin the double cure: Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands Can fulfil Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no langour know, Could my tears forever flow. All for sin could not atone; Thou must save and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; FquI, I to the fountain fly. Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, — Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee.
—Rev. A. M. Toplady, 1776.
Just as I am.
Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God! I come, I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot. To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God! I come, I come!
Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt. Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God! I come, I come!
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind, Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God! I come, I come

That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Though like a wanderer.
Daylight all gone. Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
There let the way appear
Steps up to heav'n: All that Thou sendest mo
In mercy giv'n: Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
Here I'll raise mine Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure.
Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God ; He, to rescue me from danger.
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter.
Bind my wandering heart to thee: Prone to wander. Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love: Here's my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise. Out of my stony griefs.
Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
Or, if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky. Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward I fly, — Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Sun of My Soul.
Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear. It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's
When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep. Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast.
Abide with me from morn till eve. For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die.
If some poor wandering child of
thine Has spurned to-day the voice divine. Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lid down in sio.
Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy bocndless
store; Be evesy mourner's sleep to-night. Like infant's slumbers, pure and

Come near and bless us when we
wake. Ere through the world our way we

Jesus shall Reign.
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore, [more.

rise With every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song. And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name.
There is a Fountain Filled with Blood.
There is a fountain filled with blood. Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed Church of God Are saved, to sin no more.
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save. When this poor lisping, stam'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Blest be the Tie that Binds,
Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one. Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes. Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

I Think, When I Read.
I think, when I read that sweet story of old. When Jesus was here among men, How he called little children as lambs to His fold. I should like to have been with them then.
I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind looks when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me."
Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above: —

Pray'r is appointed to convey
The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live should Christians pray; They learn to pray when first they live.
If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress, If cares distract, or fears dismay;
If guilt deject, if sin distress,
In every case, still watch and pray.
'Tis pray'r supports the soul that's weak, Tho' tho't be broken, language lame; Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name.
Depend on Him — thou canst not fail; Make all thy wants and wishes known; Fear not. His merits must prevail; Ask but in faith — it shall be done* — Joseph Hart.
Missionary Hymn,
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand; Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river.
From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.

O for a lowly, contrite heart. Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within.
A heart in every thought renewed.
And full of love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy. Lord, of thine.
Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of Love.
— Charles Wesley.
Wellesley.
There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in his justice Which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner. And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood.
For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple. We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.
— Frederick W. Faber.
Downs.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

SOl^G AND STUDY FOR GOD'S LITTLE ONES.
It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.
Dear Name ! the Rook on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place; My never-failing treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace!
Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring!
I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
— John Newton.
Antioch.
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare hina room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sin and sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow Far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness. And wonders of his love.
— Isaac Watts.
Jerusalem the Golden.
Jerusalem the golden!
With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O! I know not
What joys await me there; What radiancy of glory.
What bliss beyond compare.
They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song. And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng. There is the throng of David,
And there from toil released, The shout of them that triumph.
The son of them th at feast.
And they who with their Leader
Have conquer'd in the fight. For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white. O land that seest no sorrow!
O state that fear'st no strife! O royal land of flowers!
O realms of home and life!
O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
— J. M. Neale.
Gloria Patri.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Forever here my rest shall be From Greenland's icy mountains Gloria Patri
