THE CHOICE

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

Marion Louise Kinnard

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.
