Flowering Eeed. 
CONriDENCE IN HEAVEN. 
Let the scholar and dlTine 
Tell us how to pray aright; 
Let the truths of gospel shine 
With their precious hallowed light: 
But the prayer a mother taught 
Is to me a matchless one; 
Eloquent and spirit-fraught 
Are the words, — “ Thy will he done.'’* 
I have searched the sacred page, 
I have heard the godly speech; 
But the love of saint or sage 
Nothing holier can teach.
