The Father hath given each child of His careA garden implanted with seedlings so fair;The buds and the blossoms are molded above,Their petals all perfumed with meekness and love;Oh, blest is our God-given garden!

Consecration

The Standard

FREDERICK STARR CAMPBELL

I Learned to Sing

I learned to sing when shadows fellAnd days grew dark and drear;For though I made my bed in hell,God's tender love was near.

IDA RANDALL SIMONEAU

No other legacy I askThan that Thy Word reveals;It searches every hope of men,And human longing heals.

Victory

Temptation came to speak an angry word,—Instead, a prayer, that hatred's claim might yield.

MABEL CONE BUSHNELL

How many times the human heart,Burdened with all its woe,Turns wearily to present Love,And meekly prays to know.
