Though you should suffer for the truth » The [unbeliever's scorns, Remember, God's beloved Son Once wore a crown of thorns. All earthly pride must they forsake Who seek a home above: The only wealth the angel's store Is meekness, truth and love. The trials that you now pass through. But serve as cleansing fires; Seven times as gold must he be tried Who to a crown aspires. The day is drawing nigh which shall God's promises fulfill; Thrice blessed, then, shall be the man Who sought to do his wilL Fear not, but seek the L«rd in prayer. At evening, noon and morn; The darkest hour of all the night Is just before the dawn. Fred Wanless, Salt Lake City, Utah.
