Enlargement.
Pray larger prayers, Alone for thine and thee God does not keep His treasure-troves of good; For others ask, And let the whole world Ire Thy Father’s House, Home of thy brotherhood. Hive larger gifts, However poor thou art Thou hast some wealth To keep, or give away. Thou caiist at leaft Some good or joy impart, And cheer thy fellow-pilgrims On their way. Hope larger hopes, Thy heart live to expend ; The Father’s heart is large, And takes all in ; And He can save his own In every land. Love thou, and hope that all The Christ may win. Live larger life. Stay not in narrow places; Take a broad outlook Ovor men and days. Oh ! little soul, be great, Show’ sweeter graces; Live, love, labour In God’s largest ways. —Ma rianne Farningham
