The feast is spread;The oil, the wine, the bread,With love enshrined,Are here to meet each need;And all who come to seekWith humble heartsShall read,And find.

FREEDOM

Kathrine H. Williams

When you have reached in prayer the Horeb height,Washed you and made you clean from every blame,When you have seen the Father's face alightAnd heard Him call your new and lovely name,The shattered golden bowl will be forgot,The silver cord be taut in that chaste hour;And though the earth road seem again your lot,You cannot be a bondsman any more!

THE JOY OF HEALING

Jennie Baird Schooley

What joy to know that Love is ever nearTo quiet thought, and take our fears away,And bring sweet peace to soothe throughout the day;So trusting, man lives on with vision clear,And praising God, delights to persevereIn serving Him, though skies be blight or gray,And blest of Truth, in gratitude doth pray,Increasing his devotion year by year.
