t, and soar away to that better country, where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest. With holy pantings after God you
will say, "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!"

"Let me go! my feet are weary,
In the desert where I roam.
Let me go! the way is dreary--
Let the wanderer go home!
I am weary of the darkness
Of these lonely, failing streams--
Let me go where founts are flashing
In the light of heaven's beams!

"Let me go! my soul is thirsting
For those waters, bright, and clear,
From the fount of glory bursting--
Ah! why keep the pilgrim here?
Let me go! O, who would linger,
Fainting, fearing, and athirst,
When before us lies a region
Where undying pleasures burst?"

We have now enumerated some of the elements of the Christian home--its
constitution, its ministry, its trials, its joys, and its relation to a
better home in heaven. But we have not exhausted this interesting subject;
we have given but a very general and imperfect sketch. If this our first
effort will contribute to the salvation of one soul, we shall be
compensated; and should our encouragement justify it, we may continue the
effort, in the preparation of a work on the historical development of the
Christian home.
