And no one else can help you,

And no one guides you right, And hope comes not with morning And rest comes not with night?

What will you do without Him
When death is drawing near,
Without His love-the only love
That casts out every fear-
When the shadow-valley opens,
Unlighted and unknown,
And the terrors of its darkness

Must all be passed alone?

What will you do without Him

When the great white throne is set, And the judge who never can mistake And never can forget

The Judge whom you have never
As Friend and Saviour sought-
Shall summon you to give account
Of deed and word and thought?

Another step without Him,
Because He loves you so.

Why will you do without Him?
He calls and calls again:

"Come unto Me! Come unto Me!"
Oh shall He call in vain?

He wants to have you with Him;
Do you not want Him too?
You cannot do without Him!
And He wants-even you.

BY FRANCIS RIDLEY HAVERGAL.

CHE greatest of earthly ills are entirely ou of proportion to that eternal weight of glor which, if we only will it by God's grace, one da awaits us. Is it not our Lord Himself Who ha taught us to say, "Thy will be done!" It is th tenderest and fondest word that love ever pro nounced, whereby we salute and bless in advanc a will as yet unknown.

Y fate is in Thy hands,

My God, I wish it there;

My heart, my life, my health I leave,
Entirely to Thy care.

My fate is in Thy hands,
Whatever may it be,

Pleasant or painful, bright or dark,
As best may seem to Thee.

My fate is in Thy hands,

Why should I doubt or fear; My Father's Heart will never cause His child a needless tear!
