REALM OF LIGHT

Jean Hazel Allen

"In the beginning God.

Christian! Sturdy word of light and freedom,Activity of Truth and Life and Love!How plain the Master made the Christian wayBy mighty deeds of healing majesty,The law and grace of omnipresent good!But still there seems to be the heavy mist,The Adam-dream of self apart from God,A self that dreams of hidden, haunting fear,Of joy or pain, timidity or pride,Of health or sickness, poverty or wealth,Of crowning peace or tragedies of war.
