NORA L. BROWN
To fast is not to grieve with downcast look;To fast is to reject the carnal mindWith all its hates, and fears, and empty pride,Deceptive, wrong desires that do enslave.

Limitless Supply

ALICE TROXELL MC COUN
How often have I watched an ocean wavePush forward, gather native strength, repressed,And rise, and rise, and then a moment rest,Ere power within burst from its arched concaveTo scatter wide a wealth of jewels, to laveAnd beautify the shore! In eager questAgain it gathers treasures to its breastAnd casts them at my feet.

Miracle

EDNA WISE WEST
When, long ago, those fair Judean waysOur loving Master trod,How filled were all his days with living proofOf unity with God;The Holy Word to humble folk he taught,New faith, new hope, new aims to them he brought;Blind eyes at his command received the light,Dumb lips cried out in awe before his might.
