Confidence

CAROLINE L. DIER

In peace apart—to ponder this—My God is All-in-all;My friend, my counselor, my guide,Who hears me when I call.

Poem

I stood on the sands one summer day,And watched a white ship that sailed awayFrom sheltering shores within the bay,Out to the great gray sea,Proudly her flag to the breeze unfurling,Cleaving the billows around her curling,Speeding away from me.

Praying

WILLIAM P. MC KENZIE

Poem

A Prayer

ALICE JACQUELINE SHAW

Oh, lift mine eyes above the sons of men,That they may fasten on the things of Thee;For I am weary of the strife of kingsWhich wars against Thy law unceasingly—Kings, but whose crowns are made of worldly dust,That crumble at Thy word and sink to naught:Pride and the lust of power and place, which reachAnd fret for what can ne'er be sold or bought.
