As those which the angels in Heaven might wear, Will lure you to deadly sin. Then put on the armor of God, my boy, In the beautiful days of youth;Put on the helmet and breast-plate and shield,And the sword that the feeblest arm may wield In the cause of right and truth. Then go to the battle of life, my boy, With the peace of the gospel shod,And before high heaven do the best you canFor the great reward and the good of man, For the kingdom and the crown of God.

THE SHEPHERDS HPPEjHIs. p\AVE you seen my lamb that has gone astiay>M\ Afar from the shepherds fold,3§(l Away in the deserts wild and bare, Or on the mountain cold ?Have you ever sought to bring it backBy a word, or a look, or a prayer,Or followed it on where it wandered alone,And tried to reclaim it there ? Ye gather each week in the place of prayer, And ye speak of your love for me,And pray that your daily life may bear Some fruit that the world may see.Ye meant it well; but, when once away, Do you live that life of prayer ?Is the soul of the lamb thats gone astray Your chief and greatest care ? Ye speak of the good that ye mean to do Among your fellow men;Yet ye tarry oft mid the joys of earth ? They are watching your footsteps then.And while ye have stopped for pleasure or ease The lamb that has gone astrayHas wandered farther mid darkness and sin Along the forbidden way. Ye meet in your counting-house rooms for gain, And count the cost each day;Do ye ever count what the cost
