Secure the better part.

The Great Physician.

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.

“That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

St. John, 3:14, 15.

What means that cry of anguish,

That strikes the distant ear;

The loud and piercing wailing,

In desert wilds we hear?
