WAYSIDE MINISTRIES.
FAITH’S OPTIMISM. Sad-hearted, bo at peace: the snowdrop lies Buried in sepulchre of ga.shtly snow; But spring is floating up the Southern skies, And darkling the pale snowdrop waits below. Let me persuade in dull December’s day We scarce believe there is a month oif .1 ane ; But up the stairs of April and of May, The hot sun climbed to the .summer’s noon. Yet hear me: I love God, and half I rest, 0 better! God loves thee, so all rest thou, He is our summer, <mr dini-ivisioned Best— And in Bis heart thy prayer is resting now. —G. MacDonald. * * -K- * I am; I ought; I can; I will. These are the steps of that ladder whereby wo climb to the higher life.
