THE GOOD CONFESSION.

[“Let worldly minds the world pursue]

“Let worldly minds the world pursue;
It has no charms for me;
Once I admired its trifles, too,
But grace has set me free.
“Deny thyself and take thy cross,
Is the Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain the heavenly land.”
