PLACE

Error will never yieldTo change in space.

CONFIDENCE

Completely willingTo let God perfectAll that concerns me,I am satisfied only to beAs God made me

HE THAT SERVETH

Before each man he knelt to washThe dusty, weary feet—This Son of God, whose unselfed loveMade common duties sweet.

NEVER ALONE

I do not watch aloneWhen error presses hard.

IDENTIFICATION

I will not know a wicked person —Neither myself nor another.

CHALLENGE TO ASTROLOGY

I am a child of the King who rules the starsIn ordered paths throughout the realm of Mind,Nor looses this control to give them swayOver His prime creation, Godlike man.
