THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS

ADA J. MILLER

The mountains call! Their heights in azure bathedSpeak of a broader view, of peace, of rest;But as we climb, sometimes, confronting usIs rock,—sheer, dark,—across the narrow way;And, looking back, the valley seems a heaven.

JESUS—CHRIST

LAURA GERAHTY.

O Master , thou with the patient eyesAnd the brow that bore and strove;With the voice that ne'er a word conveyedBut was born of infinite Love;Men say, as they pass on their way today,Bending low neath the weight of care,Could they touch thy hem that their silent griefWould melt in the saintly air.

LIFE, TRUTH, AND LOVE

LAURA GERAHTY.
