The Dedication to Divine Love

C. A. Buskirk

In the brave city smiling on the shoreWhich, with its tossing tides, th' Atlantic laves;Where fearless freemen, in the days of yore,—A band intrepid, scorning to be slaves,—Daring the utterance that made them free,Tossed in their splendid scorn to the wild wavesThe symbols of a haughty tyranny—In this brave city, after scores of years,The stately sign of a sublime event,The symbol and prophetic monumentOf men's completer liberty, appearsWith dominating dome against the sky,A witness to this morning century.

Overcome Evil with Good

Growth

GERTRUDE RING.

Do you suppose the tiny, struggling sprout In some bleak spot, some barren, stony waste, Knows inward joy that it gains, day by day, A greener color from the sun's warm ray, Feels gratitude that it makes better haste, Measuring increase by some mark about?

Divine Love
