The Pioneer

Because for me she wrought with marvelous care,Can I the debt toss carelessly aside—Content to feast in idleness and pride,Unmindful of her fast, her ceaseless prayer?

Life, Truth, Love

O WONDROUS  LifeThat knows no death or sin,Thy gates are open wide,That all may enter in.
Not in the paths of human peaceDoth Love proclaim the captive free;Nor where exultant crowds increaseHath Christ his hidden embassy.

Truth stood beside me, white and strong and clearIn the dim twilight, but I could not see;Bound by the chains of discontent and fear,I dared not move to claim such ecstasy.

Brotherhood

What is true brotherhood?
