If only we could always seeThat these great mountains which appearTo bar the path for you and meAre insubstantial mounds of fear!

Poem

Bartimaeus

DOROTHY LANE DOYLE

Of skies at dawn men's voices tell,Of sun-drenched meadows, blossom bright,Of moonlight's white, enchanted spell—The while he walks through moonless night.

Morning

ELLA A. STONE

Sometimes the night seems long and drear,But morning brings the sun's bright beams;Then we forget the hours of nightWith all their troubled thought and dreams.

My Prayer

Up to the infinite source of our being,Faith is ascending, triumphant, today;Bright are its visions of God, ever present,Lifting our thought from the clod and the clay.

Still with Thee

MARTHA BAILEY PROCTOR

When I awake I am with Thee,And know the nothingness of dreamsAs through a glass I darkly seeThat matter is not what it seems.

Glorified

F. INA BURGESS

I have so often thought of him—That man of old who was born blind,Who never once had seen the dawnPour down the dusky purple hillsLike liquid gold spilled slowly fromThe brimming goblet of the sun;Who never once had watched unfoldThe petaled beauty of a flower,Or seen the pearly lovelinessA new moon forms against the night.
