RECITATIONS.

THE DAY OF

The day of gladness breaketh,
More sweet than Eden's balm,

As earth again awaketh,
Beneath the azure calm;
The night of anguish ended,
All terror fled away,
The beauty hath descended,
The joy of Easter day.

GLADNESS BREAKETH.

The King from death's dominions,
Hath passed the guards with swords,
Where angels fold their pinions,

And speak with loving words:

"Fear not; he goes before you,
And him ye all shall see,
With Easter brightness o'er you,
Haste, haste to Galilee."

The rocky bars are broken,
The grave is dark no more:
The King hath come and spoken,
The night of sorrow o'er;
Beyond the veil that hideth
The glory of his crown,
Our risen King abideth
Beyond the world's last frown.

THE WORLD FOR JESUS.
FIRST.

The whole wide world for Jesus;
For his is its domain,
And his is the dominion
From sea to sea to reign:
To him the kings of Sheba
Their royal gifts shall bring,
And isles afar their tribute

Shall render to their King.
SECOND.

The whole wide world for Jesus;
His banner be unfurled
Wide as his great commission,
"Go to all the world,
ye
And preach to every creature
The messages of peace;
Lo! I am with you always
Till time itself shall cease."
THIRD.

The whole wide world for Jesus;
O Church of Christ, awake!
Put on thy strength, O Zion,
Thy posts of duty take;

(For four scholars.)

Go forth upon thy mission
In Jesus' name alone,

Till earth, with all her millions,
His sovereignty shall own.

FOURTH.

The whole wide world for Jesus;
Where Satan long hath reigned
The Prince of Peace shall triumph,
The world shall be regained:
The realms which sat in darkness
Have seen the glorious light,
For lo! the dawn is breaking
Along the verge of night.

ALL.

The whole wide world for Jesus!
Behold! the time at hand!
His vanguard-hosts are massing
Their force in every land;
Each thrill of ocean's cable,
Each breeze fresh tidings brings
Of conquests won for Jesus,
The mighty King of kings.
Rev. Oliver Crane,

OUR EASTER OFFERINGS.

D.D.

An exercise for two groups of children, the questions and answers to be given responsively or the primary class may give the recitation, questions by the boys, answers by the girls.

1 What did faithful women bring

To the grave of Christ our King? 1 Spices and annointings rare,

Did their loving hands prepare, 2 Did they find the Master there? Did he need their gentle care?

2 No, for shining angels said,

"He is risen: be not afraid." 3 Did the gracious Master know

That the Marys loved him so?

3 Yes, he prized the love that brought Spices which he needed not.

4 Have we offerings to-day At the Master's feet to lay.

4 Joyful hymns of praise and love,
Rising to his throne above.

5 Is there nothing else to bring
To our great triumphant King?

5 All that we for others do,
He will count as offerings true;
But the sacrifice we make,
Must be rendered for his sake,

IN CONCERT.
Money that we offer here,
Helps to spread the gospel cheer,
Willing gifts from you and me,
Like sweet spices they will be,
And our risen Lord will know,
'Tis because we love him so.
