THE PUBLICAN

AGNES FLORIDA CHALMERS

Is there some one who comes to you today
Whom you have thought unworthy and untrue—
Some one the world has judged a castaway?—
Remember he may come to waken you;
May come to bring you healing from the sin
Of praying, "Lord, I thank Thee that my life
Is better than this man's." There is within
Each troubled heart, a longing, calm and still,
To know no other than the Father's will.
