Wait on the Lord J nor deem thy prayer forgot;
Silent He may be, but He slumbers not.
Power tarries; power can well afford to wait.
The buds of promise will not blossom late.
Joyous the Harvest Home will prove; but see-
" Handfuls of purpose" now He drops for thee !
His love attends thee while the days are dim,
For " blessed are all they that wait for Him.'
Ps. 27:14:Isa. 30:18.

Trust in the Lord:His promise He'll sustain.
He fainteth not; trust on, 'tis not in vain. '
Hast thou asked much ? Ask more, and be more blest;
"Much land remaineth yet to be possessed."
Let faith then claim her own as every year
Silently passing tells the end is near.
The leaves of autumn whisper as they fall,
" His word for aye endures:trust Him through all."
Josh. 13:1; 1 Pet. 1:24, 25.

Rest in the Lord i such sweet, secure repose
Only an all-confiding spirit knows.
Unbosom thy desire, and in His breast
Thy suppliant heart will find her glorious rest.
Oh, rest divine ! no earth-born solace this!
It is the wellspring of Heaven's depths of bliss.
E'en here thy soul it richly will suffice,
But oh, the fulness waits in Paradise!
Ps. 37:7; 16:11.
