" DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
Father, be very near to me to-night, And very strong. So soft and sweet a sin have I to fight— , It scarce looks wrong. So fair the fruit on the forbidden tree-i 1 !ook and long. Father, to-night be very near to me, And very strong. FatW, to-nigtt be very near, And, oh, so strong; I hear a voice as tender and as dear As siren's song. Yet, Father, in my inmost heart do I To Thee belong; So in mine hours of weakness be Thou niga, And make me strong. Lilian Wooster Gbeaves. Cotlestoe, "W.A., April, 1906.
