Opening a Chestnut Burr.

BY Rev.

E. P. ROE

, Author of “Barriers Burned Away,” “What Can She Do?” “Play and Profit in my Garden.” As woman from the Garden of the Lord Led fallen man in sorrow, fear and shame, To where, unblest, he saw the burning sword Between lost Eden and the desert flame; So still she leads, and though at times from good; She now supremely holds the sacred power, To win from deserts where the exiles brood, And lead them back within their ancient dower.
