"Now is the accepted time"

ELIZABETH TUCKER HARRINGTON

You do not walk in darkness, child,For I have given you light;Your way is not through deserts wild,But ever in My sight;There is no cloud of blindness droppedAcross My children's eyes,But you with constant vision go'Neath Love's rejoicing skies;Salvation full for all is sure,Not limited nor strained;No condemnation rests on you,From bondage all unchained;For Love is infinite, is All;Hate has not any power;And this salvation draweth nigh—Behold, now is the hour!

Hear, O Israel

ETHEL WASGATT DENNIS

SHALL we, the people of that favored nation,Brought out from Egypt 'neath God's outstretched arm,Saved from the Red Sea's terrifying waters,Kept in the wilderness from threat of harm,Fail to perceive that, here and now, in Science,We have our pillar of the cloud by day,While in the darkest night its shining radianceGuides and protects us all our upward way?
