"So shall my word be"

MARCIA E. TURNER
Far in the whispering woodland deeply laidAfter the winter bleakness melts in springAnd bitter nights surrender to the day—Faint on the south wind now I hear a noteOf tiny waterfall, born of the snowThat winter heaped within the glen; and now,Released from binding travail by the sun,Leaps down the rocks in shining crystal spray;To eye, a rivulet so frail that rootOr rock might turn it from its certain way;Yet, gathering breadth of grace and depth of might,Resistless, gladsome, singing, it glides on.

"He made the stars also"

MARIAN J. COBB
When darkened thought the glory cannot feelOf that great light God made to rule the day,Though clouds the lesser orb of night conceal,Take heart—He also made the stars! Some rayOf truth, some stars of hope and faith are nighTo lift the thought to clearer atmosphere;And as they radiate they multiply,Until the greater lights again appear.

Demonstration

OMA OLNA MARTIN
When earthly joys are broken reeds,And all their hopes have fled,Then God puts out His loving handAnd gently am I ledTo higher, purer realms of Mind,Where prayerfully I proveThat deeper joy and higher hopeThat comes from trusting Love.
