LOVE CALLS

Above the call of human power,mortal pleasures, and famecame the call to walk with Love;over and over it came,higher, clearer, until it drownedall other cries for me.

CONTINUING DRAMA

Death spares us not a challenge, gains releaseFrom no reluctant duty, stern indenture;There's neither flight nor conquest in decease;To die is not "an awfully big adventure.

TELL IT NOW!

Ah, Malchus, servant of the high priest,long have I wondered what you thoughtthe night you led him to the cross.

THE FOLLOWERS

There have been others who have gone before,Led on by Love, by Life, by Mind, by Truth,Who beheld the star that stood above the manger,The church built on the rock, the servant's ear,The palms, pierced by the nails, held out to bless;The benediction of the resurrection;Bethlehem, Gethsemane, and Olivet.

FORGIVENESS

"Lovest thou me?

EASTER

No special gifts, no frozen creeds,But gratitude and love in deeds.

HERE I AM

Someone calls.

"KNOW THE TRUTH"

"Someday, when I grow stronger,I can 'know the truth,'" she said,"Then I shall heal the sick,And maybe raise the dead!"
It worked for others; would it work for me?

AWARENESS

Jesus stood alone in what he knew;At peace, he prayed the whole night through:But I in restless doubt am tossed;The glory of the day seems lost.
