ROBERT DAWSON.

Soon to meet Eternity,
Wilt thou never serious be ?

‘Gop is earnest: kneel and ‘pray,
Ere thy season pass away ;
Ere He he set His judgment throne,
Ere the day of grace be gone.

‘‘ CHRIST is earnest, bids thee come;
Paid thy spirit’s priceless sum:
Wilt thou.spurn thy Saviour’s love,
Pleading with thee from above ?

**Oh, be earnest, do not stay!
Thou mayst perish e’en to-day.
Rise, thou lost one, rise and flee;
Lo! thy Saviour waits for thee.”
