o feel your need,
     He comes to you, a friend indeed.
     Rise from your weary, wakeful couch.
     Haste to secure His healing touch;
     No longer sadly wait and sigh.--
         "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by!"

     Ho all ye heavy-laden, come!
     Here pardon, comfort, rest, a home
     Lost wanderer from a Father's face,
     Return, accept his proffered grace.
     Ye tempted, there's a refuge nigh
         Jesus of Nazareth passeth by!

     Ye who are buried in the grave
     Of sin, His power alone can save.
     His voice can bid your dead souls live,
     True spirit-life and freedom give.
     Awake! arise! for strength apply,
         Jesus of Nazareth passeth by!

     But if this call you still refuse
     And dare such wondrous love abuse,
     Soon will He sadly from you turn
     Your bitter prayer in justice spurn.
     "Too late! too late!" will be your cry,
         "Jesus of Nazareth has passed by!"


Mrs. Adelaide S. Buckley.

Mrs. Buckley will appear again among _Translators_. The following verses
were inspired by a painting of Cornelia and the Gracchi:

     Purest pearls from the sea,
       Diamonds outshining the sun,
     Sapphires which vie with heaven,
       With pride to Cornelia are shown.

     Clasping her dark-eyed boys,
       Fairer could be no other,
     "These my jewels are"
       Said the noble Roman mother.


Rev. Oliver Crane, D. D., LL. D.

Before coming to Morristown, in 1871, Dr. Crane's life had been a very
active one, including extensive traveling in Turkey, Europe, Egypt and
Palestine. Twice he had been a missionary in Turkey acquiring the Turkish
language and doing efficient work there, first for five years, then for
three. In the seven years interval of his return he accepted two pastorates
in this country.

On coming to Morristown, having resigned his ministerial charge at
Carbondale, Pennsylvania, he devoted himself mainly to literary work, and
with General H. B. Carrington wrote the "Battles of the Revolution" which
has since become a standard work. N
