Truth Is Simple

Poem

"So shall my word be"

MARCIA E. TURNER

Far in the whispering woodland deeply laidAfter the winter bleakness melts in springAnd bitter nights surrender to the day—Faint on the south wind now I hear a noteOf tiny waterfall, born of the snowThat winter heaped within the glen; and now,Released from binding travail by the sun,Leaps down the rocks in shining crystal spray;To eye, a rivulet so frail that rootOr rock might turn it from its certain way;Yet, gathering breadth of grace and depth of might,Resistless, gladsome, singing, it glides on.
Poem

Precept

MILES BUCKSTON WATTS

Seek first God's kingdom: fill your thoughtWith all the good that Love has wrought,And He from out His spiritual storeWill on your head a blessing pour.
