Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish ...
thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.—Matt. 17.27.

Sight through a Glass, and Face to Face.
By David Dickson

I Love the windows of thy grace,

thro' which my Lord is seen,

I long to meet my Saviour's face,

without a glass between.

Oh! that the happy hour were come,

to change my faith to sight:

I shall behold my Lord at home

in a diviner light.

Haste my beloved, and remove

these interposing days;

Then shall my passions all be love,

and all my pow'rs be praise.
