Motes In A Sunbeam

AU '.aLon mJ couch in the SlaJ noondav, Watehing the sunbeams play, The atoms that danced in each separate ray ixultingly seemed to say : " Though humble we be, if the Infinite plan Most closely you will scanAll important, you will flud, we have been to man, E'en since the world began. " Indeed ! in God's word it is clearly deflued That Adam, the first of mankind- ir.im atoms of dust, most defily comblned Was formed by the Influite mind! " 1 God in His wisdom, I musingly thought n itn suoh as these hath wrought, ?,u'fe hath a mi8sion I'm unerringly taught, Though often sore distraught. An enoouraging word I ean give to the heart Ihats pierced with sorrow's dart, And thus though shut in from the world's great mart, Can patienüy act my part.
