Truth that Makes Free

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

What peace and gladness they attain Who perfect understanding gain, And cast from thought the false, but hold The facts of being that unfold! They journey no uncertain way— Love is their guide and Truth their stay.

Compelling Love

BEATRICE CLAYTON

The eagle stirreth up her nest,To which the frightened fledgling clings;She drives it from the mother breastOnly that it may find its wings.

Our Home

MARY MC DERMOTT SANTLEY

The golden beech and cedar tree,The lily and the rose,The all-o'erfolding azure dome,—Each gift Thou dost disposeWhere it may best reflect Thy thoughtAnd make of Thy vast universeA home that knows no tear;Truth's changeless law the corner-stoneAnd Love the atmosphere.

Poem

Let justice hold her scale, and truth divide...

Whittier

Let justice hold her scale, and truth divideBetween the right and wrong; but give the heartThe freedom of its fair inheritance;Let the poor prisoner, cramped and starved so long,At nature's table feast his ear and eyeWith joy and wonder; let all harmoniesOf sound, form, color, motion, wait uponThe princely guest, whether in soft attireOf leisure clad, or the coarse frock of toil.
