To make of earth a heav’n!

And in her garden of the sun,

Heaven’s brightest rose shall bloom;

For woman’s best is unbegun!

Her advent yet to come.

Ebenezer Elliot.

WORD.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.—Psalm cxix. 105.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether.—Psalm cxxxix. 4.
