THE ARCHITECT

Mary Lucretia Barker Franklin

Exactly as a scale-rule measures length,The stature of the Christlike man is found:The perfect God's perfection, grace, and strengthRevealed, His wholeness, beautiful and sound.

"NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME"

Margery Todahl Blokhine

There are events here of a certainty   Grander than men's frail thinking can assess:The bud that blossoms for all men to see   Must first unfold within one's consciousness;The robin's declaration of domain   Falls idly on the undiscerning ear—Mind, with its aural purity, must reign   Supreme in stillness, ere men learn to hear.
Poem

Why walk this meager, stone-strewn strip of sand,Where mile on empty mile the echoes mergeThe roar against the rocks as long swells urgeSonorous aimlessness upon the land?

Lo , this is the now,Immediateness, wherein I dwell;Another second, it will pass;A moment since, it had not come,Despite the sun's undeviating furrow in the sky.
