      THE MOUNTAIN SPRING

      And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.—Revelation 22:17.

      I wandered down a mountain road,

      Past flower and rock and lichen gray,

      Alone with nature and her God

      Upon a flitting summer day.

      The forest skirted to the edge

      Of Capon river, Hampshire's gem,

      Which, bathing many a primrose ledge,

      Oft sparkled like a diadem.

      At length a silvery spring I spied,

      Gurgling through moss and fern along,

      Waiting to bless with cooling tide

      All who were gladdened by its song.

      Oh, who would pass with thirsting lip

      And burning brow, this limpid wave?

      Who would not pause with joy and sip?

      Its crystal depths who would not crave?

      This query woke a voice within—

      Why slight the spring of God's great love,

      That fount that cleanseth from all sin,

      Our purchase paid by Christ above?

      Whoever will may drink! Oh, why,

      Worn toilers in this earthly strife,

      Reject a mansion in the sky,

      Reject heaven's bliss and endless life?

      GO WANDER

      Go, wander, little book,

      Nor let thy wand'ring cease;

      May all who on these pages look

      From sin find sweet release,

      Through Christ, God's holy son,

      Who left his throne in heaven

      And e'en death's anguish did not shun

      That we might be forgiven.

      How should our thoughts and deeds

      Exalt this mighty friend,

      Who died, yet lives and intercedes

      And loves us to the end!

      LOVE

      For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.—Ephesians 2:8.

      Christ might have called the angels down

      To bear him safe above,

      To shield his brow from sorrow's crown,

      From death's cold blight, and bitter frown,

      Had it not been for love.

      Our
