Editors Herald: I send this copy of a hymn given at our recent conference. It has the approval of Elder R. C. Russell, who was in charge of the conference. It was sung by E. H. Thomas, February, 23, 1913, to the air, "Jesus, I my cross have taken."

While as saints of Christ assembled,
Serving me with one accord,
Satan came, and here he trembled,
Through the presence of the Lord.
Angels blest with Holy Spirit,
Swept his dark'ning power away,
By their presence you thus profit,
Hovering round you here today.

These are days of great disaster,
Hearts of great men throb with fear.
Evil forces growing faster—
Each proclaim the end is near.
Countless hosts are daily pleading
In my name for their relief.
Bleeding sore, they cry for healing,
From oppression, sin, and grief.

This behooves you to be faithful,
Seek me through unfainting prayer.
Tithes and offerings, prove thee grateful—
Worthy of the angel's care.
Heed the law of consecration,
Selfish principles forsake;
Then I'll bless the ministrations
Of my servants for your sake.

I am pleased with each servant,
Toiling in the harvest field.
Local helps should be more fervent.
I am still your strength and shield.
I will visit you in vision,
And in tongues my mind impart;
Heal your sick—be your physician,
When you learn to do your part.

With the young my Spirit's pleading;
Walk in paths unstained with sin.
Heed its promptings, cease its grievings,
Strive eternal life to win.
Consecrate your fleeting hours,
Sacred duties to attend
Angel forces, heavenly powers,
Will sustain you to the end.

O. J. Tary
