RELEASE

Mildred Seidenstricker

In that darkest hour before dawn broke,Chastened, rebuked, I called aloud to TheeAnd felt the warmth of Love that gently spokeOf unity between my God and me.

LIKE A WATERED GARDEN

Marian J. Cobb

As clouds share with parched earth their liquid storeOf cooling and invigorating rain,And on a garden's flowered beauty pourThe quickening showers, reviving it againUntil the drooping stems spring up anewAnd bear their petals with a sturdy grace,And every blossom glows with brighter hueAnd greets the garden with a smiling face—So to my heart, when parched with doubt or fear,Come thoughts of God, like a refreshing shower,Until hope, faith, and love again appearAnd bear me upward with their holy power.

FREEDOM TO LOVE

Freedom to love! God's heritage for man,Achieved through no great virtue of his own,But his by virtue of his being God's—His image, His reflection, His loved son.
