MAKE ROOM FOR JESUS.

By Eva Williams Malone

MAKE room, make room for Jesus, O man of many cares! Drive out the money-changers, With their soul-enthralling snares. The golden lures of mammon Entice thee to thy doom; Then, in thy soul o'erburdened, For the spotless One make room.

Make room, make room for Jesus, Thou happy child of joy; The pleasure that He bringeth Hath naught of earth's alloy; The flowers that now you gather But for a day shall bloom— You pluck the fair immortelles When you for Christ make room.

Make room, make room for Jesus, O weary child of pain, With soul o'ercharged with sorrow, And fear and doubting rain! The sunshine of His presence Will scatter far thy gloom, Nor leave a lurking shadow; Then haste, for Him make room.

Make room, make room for Jesus, Ye Christian hearts astray, In ways of sin and folly, O, tarry not to-day! If wayward feet forsake Him, Then, lost in night and gloom, You'll wander when the Saviour Will not for you make room. —Eva Williams Malone.
