THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN

The blessed harmony by Spirit framed,The perfect peace by our dear Master named,In tenderness and sweet compassion blendAnd find expression in a needed friend.

HERE IN ETERNITY

Here in eternity I findMyself in harmony with Mind.

PRAYER

Each day to liftour torch so highThat weary travelerspassing byMay in its healingradiance share—This is a Love-inspiredprayer.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

As sunlight through the window glassRests radiantly on every class—On children's faces, lifted, sweetAnd eager, as their lips repeatCommandment or Beatitude,Or testify their gratitudeFor healing, guidance, blessings sentFrom God, from Love omnipotent—So, to the teachers' prayerful thought,As words of light and truth are sought,Love lends a glow, effulgent, clear,To light the paths which, starting here,Lead on through years of active good.

TRUSTWORTHINESS

Does discouragement seem to startFrom giving God but half our heart?

FULFILLMENT

Long years I searched, looking far offFor what I believed life's richest prize,Until a voice said: Look where you are;Take of the good that near you lies.
