Poem

Defense

A. JOANE CREWDSON

Oh, let us now rejoice, be glad, give praise—Peace and good will, the standard which we raise—Entrenched in Truth, clad in Love's panoply;See how the armies of the aliens flee!No weapon in our hand, our sure defenseThe consciousness of God's omnipotence;Love's bugle call will break the dream of sin,The kingdom of our God to usher in.

Capacity

A Prayer

FLORENCE E. HOUGHTON

Cleanse me, Lord, that I may seeThe beauty of divinity;Give me courage, Lord, to goWith outstretched hands down paths of woe;Help me, Lord, to ease or bearAnother's burden of despair;Lift my thought to heights above,That I may know the fruits of Love;Grant me vision of Thy plan,Where perfect God and perfect manAbide in love, and have so stood,Since Thou hast made and called all good!
