Imi untunable the parts,
Tivt vit uwa tie ministrelsy,
Fiew from child-ike hearts."

TEK CHRISTIAN YEAR. TO

THOSE WHO ARE NEITHER OFFENDED BY,

NOR DISDAIN SIMPLICITY,

THESE FEW LINES,

WRITTEN BY ONE WONT TO TRACE AND TO LAY TO HEART

WHAT HE GATHERS OF COMFORT,

OR OF EDIFICATION,

IN THE OBJECTS OF FREQUENT SIGHT AND HOMELY

INCIDENTS OF LIFE,—

ARE HUMBLY AND RESPECTFULLY ADDRESSED.

“ Child-like though the voices be,

And untunable the parts,
Thou wilt own the ministrelsy,
If it flow from child-like hearts."

THE CHRISTIAN YEAR.
