Isaiah li. 6.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens high,
Behold the beauties of the distant sky !
How vast, majestic, and sublime !
Yet all shall pass away with time.
‘Tis the word of the Lord,
And it shall be,—
A message, friend, to you and me.
Look on the earth, with its mountains grand,
Its seas, its rivers, and fertile land—
How rich the store in every clime !
Yet all shall pass away with time.
‘Tis the word of the Lord,
And it shall be,—
Spoken from Eternity.
But, hark ! glad tidings the last note brings,
And rich, O rich, its measure rings !
“Salvation shall for ever be,
And righteousness eternally.”
‘Tis the word of the Lord,
Who cannot lie.
A message from the Throne on high.
Pray, seek that God in His wond’rous love
Would send the Spirit from above,
The power to give that we may take
Salvation free. for His own name’s sake.
‘Tis the word of the Lord,
And the message doth run,
“Ask in faith, and it shall be done.”
Helmsdale, 1905.

A Good Result of the Welsh Revival.
The Carnarvon authorities have resolved to close the harbour against Sabbath traffic, notwithstanding that a considerable amount of income has hitherto accrued from Sabbath excursion steamers from Liverpool and elsewhere. The motion was resisted by some, but was eventually carried. This zeal for the Sabbath is a result of the recent religious movement in Wales.
