Show WOMAN'S EXPONENT COMMISSIONED. ''Do their errands ; enter into the sacra fie e with them; be a link yourself in the divine chain, and feel the joy and life of it.,' Not much, but very sweet to give; And it is grief of griefs to bear That all these ministries are o'er, And thou, so happy, love, elsewhere, Dost need me nevermore. Whose feet so little while ago Trod the same wayside dust with mine, And now up paths I do not know Speed without sound or sign ? And I can do for thee but this: Working on blindly, knowing not (If I may give thee pleasure so;; Out of my own dull shadowed lot I can arise, and go What can I do ? The perfect life All fresh and fair and beautiful Has opened its wide arms to thee; and full; Thy cup is remains for me. Nothing To sadder lives and darker homes, A messenger, dear heart, from thee Who wast on earth a comforter; And say to those who welcome me, I am sent forth by her. I used to do so many little things; Feeling the while how good it is To do thy errands thus, and think It mar be, in the blue, far space. Thou watchest from the heaven's brink, A smile upon thy face. What can I do for thee, beloved, over-brimm- Love thee and chide thee and caress; Brush little straws from off thy way. Tempering with my poor tenderness The heat of thy short day. ii And when the days work ends with day, And evening, stealing in, Waves her cool hand to flj ing noon, xnd restless, surging thoughts begin, Like sad bells out of tune, star-eye- d I'll pray, "Dear Lord, to whose great love, is set, Nor bound nor limit-lin- e Give to my darling, I implore, Some new, sweet joy, not tasted yet. For I can give no more." And, with the words, my thoughts shall climb With following feet tte heavenly stair Up which thy steps so lately speed, And seeing thee so happy there, Come back half comforted. Susan Coolidge. Rev.
