THE IMPORTANT TRANSFER

"To Change the baser Metals into Gold''
Is a Symbolism made Famous by Robert Browning.
This Motto for Courageous Living tends to unfold
A great and Mighty Source of Success, Abounding
In the Power of Endurance and of Accomplishment
In Life on earth. Furthermore, the Saying
Throws out a Challenge to the Very Soul of Man
That Knows No Earthly Limitation, and Can
Rise Above All Mortal Restriction, paying
Little heed to the Pit-falls of the flesh!
To meet such Requirement in Living calls for Strength
Of Character that only the Grace of God
Can give! Situations, many and varied, greet
Us Pilgrims Every Day! Temptations at length
Cover Life's Way to sorely Test and Prod
Our Very Foundation of Holy Living! So Faith,
The Will To Lay Hold on God, is the Plain Transfer
At Every Junction, Stop, Bridge, or Barrier!
The Christian Faith alone abides to carry us over
All Impediments - - Real or Imaginary! What Saith
The Word of God? Remember the low places
Are brought up! The High places are brought
Low! Our Carrier bears full Responsibility!
We Are borne by Him to our Safe Destination Wrought
By Him and His Faith, in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Oh, let us Praise His Name and Plan! He bought
For Us "So Great Salvation's! It's Now offered
Once for All! O Friend, accept this Transfer,
The Only Change from Death to Life, from Failure
To Success, from the gaping Chasm of Humanistic Doom
To the Sunrise of Him Who Is, Who Was, And
Evermore Shall Be! - - Our Saviour in Life and in Eternity!
