that cross is to you a pledge of eternal life. It is the privilege of each to follow gladly after Christ, exclaiming at every step, 'Thy gentleness hath made me great.'

A New Leaf

He came to my desk with a quivering lip—
The Lesson was done—
"Dear teacher, I want a new leaf," he said;
"I have spoiled this one."
In place of the leaf so stained and blotted,
I gave him a new one all unspotted.
And into his sad eyes smiled—
"Do better now, my child."

I went to the throne with a quivering soul—
The old year was done—
"Dear Father, hast Thou a new leaf for me?
I have spoiled this one."
He took the old leaf, stained and blotted,
And gave me a new one all unspotted,
And into my sad heart smiled—
"Do better now, my child."

—Episcopal Recorder, January, 1893.

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar." (Psalms 51 KJV)

Count the Mercies!

Count the Mercies

Count the mercies! count the mercies!
Number all the gifts of love;
Keep a daily, faithful record
Of the comforts from above.

Look at all the lovely green spots
In life's weary desert way;
Think how many cooling fountains
Cheer our fainting hearts each day.


Count the mercies! count the mercies!
Count the mercies though the trials
Seem to number more each day;
Count the trias too, as mercies,
Add them to the grand array.

Trials are God's richest blessings,
Sent to prompt our upward flight
As the eagles' next, all broken,
Makes them fly to loftier heights.

Count the mercies! count the mercies!
That bring heaven within our sight,
Let us number all our jewels,
Let us estimate their worth;
Let us thank the gracious Giver,
Strewing blessings over the earth;
Let our hearts overflow with gladness.

Let us tell the wonders over,
Till our multiplying treasures
Seem a countless boundless store;
Then let praises, grateful praise,
Be our language evermore.

Comfort in AfflictionBy Elder L.D. Santee

And angels of comfort draw near.
