WHERE stayed St. Paul until his vow was paid?
Who fell into the snare for others laid?
Whose counsel wise did Absalom disdain?
Who watched the bodies of her sons when slain?
Who aided David to regain his wife?
What woman much beloved was raised to life?
What was by Saul for Jabesh-Gilead sent?
Where were the youthful days of Jesus spent?
Who for her country’s sake adventured all?
Who scorned to obey her husband’s call?
Whose worthless children perished by the sword?
And who gave heed unto their father’s word?
With whom did Felix leave the apostle bound?
Who buried stolen garments in the ground?
Who meditated in the eventide?
Who in his travels did with Paul abide?
What king of Moab did Judge Ehud slay?
And to what sea did Christ say, “Peace, be still?”
Where was the rock whence living waters flowed
To cheer desponding Israel on their road?
In the initials from the lines above
A heavenly virtue is display’d,
Which, as its source is in the God of love,
Will last when all other graces fade.
