Like Paul

MAUDE CLARK HOUGH

When man first sees Truth's lightning flame,He hangs his head in anguished shame;Until, low voiced, he hears his nameCalled lovingly, "I am the sameThat yesterday and yesteryearGave to all men a message clear,—'Come unto me,' sin-tossed and worn,Of joy and usefulness though shorn,I'll make of you, by following me,A man new-born, upright, and free!"

I Must Go On

FRANCES S. LARKIN

Sometimes I want to linger on the hills,And gather flowers that grow along the way,And dip my tired feet in sparkling rills,That laugh as little children laugh at play:But from these dreams of sense that error fillsI must go on.

Meekness

ARTHUR S. HOLLIS

Blest are the meek, our lowly Master said,And meekly taught the truth in Galilee;He healed the sick and sinning, raised the dead,And fed the multitudes, and trod the sea.

Await God's Giving!
