WORD RETURNED

I went out with joy.
We do not know for sureyour young heart's wrestlings in a distant age,nor possibly the pangs of injured pride,the throes of fear, you had to overcome,with loved ones lost, nor the hard rideinto captivity, wrenched from native landto wait as servant, do what came to hand.

THE TENTH LEPER

He alone turned back;He alone was grateful:He did not lackThe thankful heart.

What is Perfect?

Jesus said our Father is perfect, sowe should be perfect, too.

FROM A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT:

Open your door to God,And you open your thought to Love;Be generous with your love for all,And the freedom of Life will be yours;Take heed of the truth in Spirit,And Truth will answer your needs;Be as a tree—

GOD'S ALLNESS

Sometimes, when it seems mocking tears,frightening dreams, and false fearswould accent my smallness,I think of God's allness,and it melts them away—I soar in the wideness of mercy, the tallnessof justice, in boundless purity.

TAKEOFF

O perfect One to whom our prayers ascend,We ask Thee not for any earthly thing.

SOUND SHELTER

Typewriters fling noise-pellets at the air;Telephones spurt their little jets of belling;Throughout the city, rumbling, roaring, yelling,Din burns and beats at every thoroughfare.
