Poem January 3, 1942 Issue

"Depart from evil, and do good"

GERTRUDE HOLMGREN

Why hold to foolish fears and doubts,
Why walk in darkness more?
Why live in anxiousness and fear,
When good stands at the door?

"Depart from evil"—let it go!
It has no power to stay
When you throw wide the door to Love
And follow good today.
