ENVOY.

By Elizabeth Rebecca Ward

It is a wondrous and surprising thing

How that ten minutes takes the piercing sting

From vexing circumstance and poison- ous dart

Hurled by the enemy straight at my heart.

So, to the woman tempest-tossed and tried

By household cares, and hosts of things beside,

With all my strength God bids me say to you:

“Dear soul, do try the daily Interview!”
