That Good Part

EDITH COONLEY HOWES

Too long have I, Martha, duty bent,Strained 'neath the load of every day's demandsOf mortal living; anxious, uninspiredBy daily round of tasks that always seemedLegitimate; by my own strength aloneSeeking to serve, to comfort, to supply.

Unafraid

The Lecturer Prays

ANNIE LORENA HOUSE

Father, in this dear hour of selflessnessTake Thou my utterance wholly unto Thee,To speak as one who follows him who spakeAs never mortal spake; that not aloneShall he who comes in prayer, rewarded go,But even more that he who comes to bindShall cast away the chains, and witness bear;That those who sit in darkness may discernThe open door of Mind, where all who willMay freedom find if they but go that way.
Poem

Loss Is Gain

THELMA BROOKS

I turned aside from thought of mortal gain,Seeing that earthly things will fade away;I gave up dreaming, seeing the promise vainThat paints a glowing picture out of clay;There is no hope within the fragile seemingThat finds its shallow life in idle dreaming.
Poem

Reflection

ANNA STANTON LAY

Beside the road a pool, small but serene,Heedless of hurried toil, watching the sky,Became a jewel of iridescent sheen,Offering its beauty to each passer-by.
Poem

Lesson for the Hour

MARY HOYT LOVELAND

The little children, as he went,Drew to his side in sweet content;Their gentle hearts were stirred.
