SERENITY

Helen Lucy Veatch Sutherland

Time is no moreAs this day wraps around meThe sweet serenity and utter joyThat follows work well done,The quiet consciousness of heart content,The memory of past precious hours spentIn earnest seeking what His will decreed,In glorifying Him in word, in thought, in deed.
Poem

GOD'S DAY

Edgar Isaac Newgass

This is God's day, each moment of it His,And as we turn to Him in gratitudeFor this, how surely evil yields to good,For good is all that is.

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

THE WAY

Gerald Stanwell

O Glorious God,Filling all the universe with love;O glorious Love,Giving us life and all things that we need;O Life eternal, waiting to be sharedBy every child, by every pilgrim, borneAnd guided through the power of Mind—This is Thy radiant dayAnd we are freed;This is the road decreed—By Thine own hand in ever-present morn,In ever-present dawning of the way.
