Mary Magdalene

W. K. James

In her last ministry of love, the Magdalene
Stands hopeless, weeping at the Saviour's empty grave,
Yet by her side the Master stands unseen,
Not lost, not gone, not dead, but mighty still to save.
"Mary!" Oh, with what joy she hears his loving word!
Thus seeking a dead Christ, Love finds a Living Lord.

W. K. James, in Volunteer's Gazette.

All the days of the week are used as days of rest: Christians use Sunday; Greeks, Monday; Persians, Tuesday; Assyrians, Wednesday; Egyptians, Thursday; Turks, Friday; Jews, Saturday.—Boston Evening Transcript.
