Hoping
to gain a lesson from circumstances which had for some time disturbed her usual quiet hours of study, a student of Christian Science stood at the window looking down upon a mass of building materials which were being used in the erection of a schoolhouse near her home.
Tom
had been attending the Christian Science Sunday School for several years, but on the opening day of school he discovered that in his excitement he had forgotten to take with him several things necessary for his work, namely, a pencil, some paper, and a pen; and, as he explained to his mother that evening, the day had been decidedly unsatisfactory.
With
birds' awakeningMy heart shall soar and sing;O let the Christ be praised!No lurking ghost of fearHas any foothold here;O let the Christ be praised!What unity divineOur shining eyes define,If we the Christ will praise;All purposes sincereA meeting place find here—O let the Christ be praised!And as we grasp God's hand,We learn to understand—O let the Christ be praised!See man's awakeningTo Love's eternal spring—O let the Christ be praised!And so throughout the worldHis banner is unfurled—O let the Christ be praised!The truth we see and knowIn every heart shall glow,And all accord Him praise.

Down
in the valley, held by indecision,Darkened by shadows—merely marking time—We long for light to purify our vision,And pray that strength be given us to climb.
