This Radiant Way

Acknowledging the truth that all is well,Accepting, "Now are we the sons of God,"Believing, understanding, Love is All—With these essential joyful tidings shod,We can go forward, bearing precious gifts,Witnessing to Truth and harmony,Expecting throngs to walk this radiant way,Knowing surely that the truth makes free!

All Space Is His

They said a battle raged today somewhere—A place that bore an unfamiliar name,A fortressed island, and my thought turned thereTortured with fear, until, as evening came,I prayed and heard a still small voice come through,Tender with Love's dear promise to my heart:"God's kingdom, child of mine, is here in you;You have no consciousness nor life apartFrom Him who knows no time and fills all space.

Love's Healing Streams

When the world's fierce, tempestuous error weighsWith all its burden of unreal days,Dulling the heart, how sweet to wander byUntroubled waters or a dimpling stream,And with glad heart of praiseTurn thought to HimWhose love is ever nigh,Whose government supremeNo evil mars,No hate nor terror jars,Nor darkness glooms, nor bitter envy sears,But omnipresent lightRejoices all our sight;And then to drop those faithless thoughts and dim,Dissolve to nothing those dull fearsIn His all-mantling love,And knowing Him,Trusting that careTill now unreckoned of,Wake from perturbed dreamsAnd hear,Within the heart, music of heaven's streams,As spiritual.

Perspective Continuance

Some keep saying,"I wonder if the peace will be lasting.

A Cup of Cold Water

There is a well of waters, still and deep,Unfathomed depths of healing tenderness;But we have let rank overgrowths now creepAnd hide the path to waters that should bless.

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.

In the market places of the earth,Amid confusion, strife, and din,I open wide my thought, dear God,And love comes in.

Once, long ago, a wise friend said to me:Never be satisfied with half a loaf,But claim the whole!
