THE CHRISTIAN WARRIOR.

Is always humble, lives in self- distrust, And will itself into no dangers thrust; As difficulty swells, it higher grows, Ennobled by the greatness of its foes; Has lively prospect of its heavenly crown, And makes God's glory only its renown; Contemns the world, has more exalted aim. With a well- guided zeal is all on flame; With patience can a lasting conflict bear, Derives true magnanimity from prayer; Fights with a spirit present and sedate, No dangers can its constancy abate;-

So meekly bold, with sweet behaviour brave, Scorns to vile lust its spirit to enslave; The martyr'd host with veneration eyes, And to their palms ambitious is to rise: Keeps Jesus in its intellectual sight­He best can teach us conduct in our fight. Devote yourself to God, and you will find God fights the battles of a will resign'd. An earthly coward is an odious name­A ghostly coward an eternal shame. Love Jesus! love will no base fear endure­Love Jesus! and of conquest rest secure.
