Show Rain on the Sea. It needs not, I-oid, that thy full hand anould pour Thle bounty of tha sweet and cooling rain Upon tho brimming ocean's sterile plain. When fur one little portion ot this store fctumewltara the famished earth praya Why shuulilat thou esat this Isrgeaa thua In vain To melt Into the wlila and bnrren main. When Iha lung drought lays wasta Hie teeming shore? Forgive us. Lord, that In thine ear Is shrilled The futile challenge of our chlldleh "why;" Haply the clouds thy mercy has dla-tilled dla-tilled On Iha grest d-i-p that, wheru wrecked wreck-ed acumen lie. Haggard and api-nt and with u la.- lit watches chill, d. Of thirst ou their frnll raft they ahum, I not die. -Janiea II. Kenyon In Christian Advo- |
