A Morning Song

My path in life is smooth and fair;No fear or trouble—anywhere!For all along my way doth gleamThe light of Love, whate'er may seem;And in this light I walk serene—Where flowers bloom and fields are green.

A Message from the Workshop

THOSE silent years the Master toiled,—when he,    The well-beloved, bent with patient careO'er plane and work-bench, oftentimes for me,—    God's hand marks their design.

Poem

Lincoln, the Man of the People

Edward Markham

The color of the ground was in him, the red earth;The tang and odor of the primal things—The rectitude and patience of the rocks;The gladness of the wind that shakes the corn;The courage of the bird that dares the sea;The justice of the rain that loves all leaves;The pity of the snow that hides all scars;The loving-kindness of the wayside well;The tolerance and equity of lightThat gives as freely to the shrinking weedAs to the great oak flaring to the wind—To the grave's low hill as to the MatterhornThat shoulders out the sky.
Poem

Our Father

GERTRUDE RING.

Do we not all remember the dark night,When dismal dreams had caused us nervous start,That we cried, "Father, father," in our frightAnd were clasped safe against the parent heart?
Poem

The demand for church

O Guiding Love

GERTRUDE RING
