THE

TENT AND THE ALTAR,

OR

SKETCHES FROM PATRIARCHAL LIFE.

BY THE

REV. JOHN CUMMING, D.D., F.R.S.E.,

MINISTER OF THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL CHURCH, CROWN COURT, COVENT GARDEN,

LONDON.

Lives of these men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us

Foot prints in the sands of time;

Foot prints that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
