RESPLENDENT IMAGE

When the mists clearAnd in the ever bright beam of loveMan stands revealedAs beingThe radiant, joyously quickened,Shined upon and shining,My heart lifts to heavenIn contemplationOf the perfect imageOf Love—A certainty.

HUMILITY

The image in the mirror,Glorious though it be,Cannot take any creditFor what the eye may see.

SCIENTIFIC PURITY

We glimpse the perfectness of God and manWhen we perceive God's scientific planRevealed through study of the written page.

THE HARVEST

The precious seed is His, and we must sow;He blesses it and causes it to grow.

MANSIONS

Mansions built of clay or stone?

USHER'S PRAYER

As watchman I will close the gateTo world beliefs of fear and hate.
