Progressive Proving

PARK WOLAVER

I know that Love is governing my dayInstead of foolish fear and human will,And that I travel Life's eternal wayInstead of hurry's limiting treadmill;That Spirit's joys inspire each task I doInstead of lust for money, ease, or fame;That man's Godlike perfection fills my viewInstead of what lack, sin, and sickness claim.

The Light Now Shines

KATE E. ANDREAE

No happenings of earth, no shattering blast,Can scatter or destroy the sun's bright rays;Unharmed, untouched, throughout the centuries pastTheir light has shone, and ever through the daysWill beautify and cast their radianceOn land and sea and every living thing,No violence of earth's experienceExtinguishes the glory which they bring.

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.
