"Still Upward."

“And there was an enlarging, and a winding about STILL UPWARD to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went STILL UPWARD round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was STILL UPWARD, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.”—
“STILL Upward” be thine onward course:
For this I pray today.
“Still upward” as the years go by,
And seasons pass away.
“Still Upward” in this coming year
Thy path is all untried.
“Still upward” may’st thou journey on,
Close by thy Saviour’s side.
“Still Upward” e’en though sorrow come,
And trials crush thine heart:
“Still upward” may they draw thy soul,
With Christ to walk apart.
“Still Upward” till the day shall break,
And shadows all have flown,
“Still upward,” till in Heaven you wake,
And stand before the Throne.
F. B.
ETERNITY IS DRAWING NIGH: We never felt it to be nearer than we have during the year now so soon passing away for ever. We therefore urge you, in our Master’s loving name, to flee to Him for pardon, peace, and safety. How many have entered Eternity during the present year: your turn may come next.
