POEM
Jesus! whose blood so freely stream’d
To satisfy the law’s demand;
By Thee from guilt and wrath redeem’d,
Before the Father’s face I stand.
To reconcile offending man,
Make Justice drop her angry rod;
What creature could have form’d the plan,
Or who fulfill it but a God?
No drop remains of all

For life is a swift and terrible race.
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell
And

Families can live in the same house and never see each other. The sad thing is, you wake up to a beautiful HOME, a nice manicured LAWN, two cars in the GARAGE—something you WORKED HARD all of your life to get.

the others."
Mercifully,
she never knew
there would be slavery
and prison too.
Had I been Moses’ mother
I’d have
