UNFOLDMENT

However small or great the taskWe may be called upon to do,God gives us, when we humbly ask,Intelligence to see it through.

THE MORNING WATCH

The midnight hour is past;We see the gentle dawn appear,We claim our victory—we hold it fast—For Love has banished pain and fear.

THE NEED TO LOVE

One need we have, one overwhelming need,The need to love:Not as one bending down, benevolent,Bestowing gifts upon the hungry poor:Nor looking up, with personal attachment,Giving devotion due to God alone:But showing forth our Father's love, embracingIn radiant reflection all mankind.

CREATION

What Love has blessed cannot be cursedBy mortal circumstance;What Life creates is not reversedBy birth or death or chance.

HE CARES

It was only a broken feathered thing,The frail bird under the tree—But the Word was spokenAnd wings took flight,Soaring upward, strong and free.

Love's triumph over hate

How can we love when others hate? Prayerful turning to God, divine Love, with the earnest desire to express His qualities under all circumstances will give us strength and ability to do right.

INSTANTANEOUS HEALING

Pure white Christ, sunshine of eternal Love,Filled my entire being,Lifting me aboveAll pain, fear, and doubt,Nothing there but bright reality—No devil to cast out.

GOD'S GIFT

The real man knows no servitude.

ARISE—BE NOT AFRAID

We do not see what lies aheadFor us or for our loving friendsWhen darkness seems to settle downAnd sense would tell us all life ends.

"THERE IS LIFTING UP"

There are no troublous steps to takeBefore we reach the goalOf freedom from discouragement —The healing touch of Soul.

REFLECTION

Here , fringed by snow-clad mountain peaks,The lake—serenity expressed—Calm and unruffled, mirrors forthA picture of great strength—at rest.

JEWELED MOMENTS

There are moments when illusion,with its fine-spun subtlety,weaves an evil-patterned fabricon the loom of apathy.
