The Call

MARY IRVING KEITH.

Eyes with love so full and tender
Said to us, "I know you all,
You are God's own blessed children
Hearken to my loving call.

"'Go ye forth and cast out evil,
Heal disease and raise the dead,
Freely give of your receiving,'
This is what our Master said."

Some had eyes, yet did not see him,
Some had ears and did not hear,
But to those who caught the vision
Came the message strong and clear.

Blest are we above all people,
"Yea, thrice blessed" in this call;
Ministers to those who suffer,
Teaching them that "God is All."

Sometimes a fog will settle over a vessel's deck and yet leave the topmast clear. Then a sailor goes up aloft and gets a lookout which the helmsman cannot get. So prayer sends the soul aloft, lifts it above the clouds, and gives us a chance to see which way to steer.—C. H. Spurgeon.
