From Church

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.

Recognition

ELLA H. HAY

I will have faith;Though dangers great beset my path,And through the valley darkened hathMy courage waned,Thank God for faith!For Love hath His own angel sent,And to my chastened spirit lentHis power and strength.

Fasting

NORA L. BROWN

To fast is not to grieve with downcast look;To fast is to reject the carnal mindWith all its hates, and fears, and empty pride,Deceptive, wrong desires that do enslave.

The Sinless Self

Offspring of Soul, that knows no mortal sense,Radiant with light, ineffable, divine,Clad in the might of God's omnipotence,Piercing the mist of mortal selfhood, shine!

Poem

Limitless Supply

ALICE TROXELL MC COUN

How often have I watched an ocean wavePush forward, gather native strength, repressed,And rise, and rise, and then a moment rest,Ere power within burst from its arched concaveTo scatter wide a wealth of jewels, to laveAnd beautify the shore! In eager questAgain it gathers treasures to its breastAnd casts them at my feet.
Poem

Miracle

EDNA WISE WEST

When, long ago, those fair Judean waysOur loving Master trod,How filled were all his days with living proofOf unity with God;The Holy Word to humble folk he taught,New faith, new hope, new aims to them he brought;Blind eyes at his command received the light,Dumb lips cried out in awe before his might.
Poem

Grace

CHARLOTTE T. HERRON

Not for mere time that speeds from sun to sun,We ask for grace;But that each moment's task be so begunThat Love's bright faceWith radiant blessing on our way may shine,And so our lives reflect the Life divine.
