Humility

ELIZABETH A. MILLER

Oh, let me be more childlike, Lord,More humble, meek, and mild,And let me put my hand in ThineAnd trust Thee as a child.

Poem

Ring, Christmas bells, ring loud and clear,Ring words of Truth to far and near;'Tis Christmas Day—a babe is born!Ring clearer, bells, ring soft, ring loud,Dispel the dark and misty cloud,Ring in the truth, ring in the morn.

Direction

KATHRINE H. WILLIAMS

Lord, when my footsteps pause at those detoursAlong life's road, I pray Thee let me seeThy pleasures wiser than the world's allures;And let me choose the path that goes to Thee,Remembering that vacillation findsAn ever-clouded scene, wherein no riftAbove illumes Thy certain way that windsLike gleaming ribbon through this shadow-drift.

The Bible

Poem

There Is No Death

OMA OLNA MARTIN

There is no silver cord to loose,No golden bowl to break;Death is a dream of mortal sense,From which we all must wake;For God is Life—He knows no death;And as His children weSweet heritage of life are given,Now and eternally.
