THE MOTHER'S EVENING PRAYER*

MARY BAKER EDDY.

O gentle presence, peace and joy and power;     O Life divine, that owns each waiting hour,Thou Love that guards the nestling's faltering flight!     Keep Thou my child on upward wing tonight.

Poem

A little thought and a little care...

Josephine Pollard

A little thought and a little care,A little tenderness now and then,A gracious speech and a courtly airMay give one rank among gentlemen;But he who merits the highest place,Though clad in homespun he be, 'tis true,Is one who carries a heart of grace,And is really a nobleman through and through.

THE MASTER'S CALL

MARY LLOYD MC CONNELL.

The storm had passed me, and I layUpon the bosom of Life's ocean, derelict;Far off the thunder echoed, and beyondI heard the sullen roar of angry surfBeating a rock-bound shore; nor hope had IThat ever ray of dawn could penetrate the gloom.

Child , maintain thy full assuranceOf the pulsing power within;Look not on forbidden objects,Since to look thus is to sin.

THE DWELLING-PLACE OF THOUGHT

HON. CLARENCE A. BUSKIRK.

Large and round the golden moonMoves a lake of clouds aboon,And the clouds like waves of laceDrift against the planet's face,While a lone star shining nighGems a rift of azure sky.

A THOUGHT OF LIFE

ADA JANE MILLER.

Amid the scenes of that which we call death,The stronger thought of Life and Truth and Love,If held through all the clamor and the rushOf speechless anguish, loss, and sense of pain,Will keep the heart untroubled, undismayed.

BE MINE

O Love, be mine this day!And I shall sing—Like joyous lark speeding on upward wingTo rise above earth's gloom and o'er it ring—Love's roundelay.

ANSWER

RUTH INGRAHAM

O Love, who didst the want supplyOf Hagar's famished son,And in the burning wildernessDidst make the streams to run,In this, the desert of my life,Again Thy will be done!
