My Place

GUY R. HOUGHTELIN

'T is not for me to say where I shall serve,Nor outline, Lord, the way Thy work I'll do;But where the Cause of Truth has need of me,There is the place where I, dear God, would be.

Compassion

He was the friend of publicans and sinners,He walked among the lowly and the meek;He healed the lepers in their unclean raiment,He to the outcast loving words did speak.

Incentive

HERSCHEL P. NUNN

In love for God and man, we find incentive trueTo heal and save; burdens to lift;To see beyond the pale of mortal ken, and lookWithin the veil, where, Love-enshrined,The child of God is seen, all pure and undefiled,All holy, gentle, Christlike, fair,Till what's unlike the Father fades,—becomes a myth,Illusion, phantom, fantasy,Mist-woven by vain mortal thoughts.
