To Those in Our Service

WILHELMINA BELLE BARNES

The Revealer

In Love's Care

ELIZABETH TUCKER DRESSER

Undaunted by the strife of sin and sorrow,Untroubled by the fear of loss and pain,Today we walk, not waiting for the morrow,In Truth's calm presence, seeking but to gainClear consciousness of God, eternal good,Unfolding quietly from hour to hour,Where evil's nothingness is understoodAnd Love is proved the only Mind and power.
