CHURCH MEETINGS.
                Our whole conversation in songs shall ap­
                    prove
               Thy wonderful passion, thy ransoming love.
              <5 And if we must win the crown like our God,
                And strive against sin, resisting to blood,
               We more than victorious o’er death shall
                    arise,
                All happy and glorious with Christ in the
                   skies.
                                 C. M.
                        The grace of Christian law.
              1  LJOW sweet how heavenly is the sight,
                1  1 When those who love the Lord
                In one another’s peace delight,
                 And thus fulfil his word :
             2  When each can feel his brother’s sigh,
                 And with him bear a part;
               When sorrow flows from eye to eye,
                  And joy from heart to heart:
             3  When free from envy, scorn and pride,
                 Our wishes all above,
               Each can his brother’s failings hide,
                 And show a brother’s love.
             4  When love in one delightful stream
                 Through every bosom flows,
               And union sweet, and dear esteem,
                 In every action glows !
             5  Love is the golden chain that binds
                 The happy souls above ;
                And he’s an heir of heaven that finds
                  His bosom glow with love.
