MINISTRY

GERTRUDE RING HOMANS.

Myriad dancing drops of diamond dewDrench the sweet meadow grass at early morn;But only one, perhaps, sends back to youThe wealth of color in its pure heart born.

"THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST."

BEN. HAWORTH-BOOTH.

Though the rough surge is thundering on the sand,And wild white-horses o'er the sullen seaRace with the raving wind, I take my stand,Immovable in calm security,Upon my rock, above the breakers hurled—The rock of Christ, above a 'whelming world.

R. E. KEY.

When the soft falling wind has ceased to stirThe tendrils of a thousand restless trees,When the slow humming-bee has ceased to lieCaressingly within the clustering leaves,When the gray twilight falls—a silver sign—Upon the path the woodland torrent cleaves:Then, 'twixt the parting of reluctant dayAnd gentle advent of approaching night,I bow a humble head in thankful prayerFor blessings infinite.
