ROSE E. SHARLAND

Ambition, hatred, fear—the dreams of night—Aggression, lawlessness, the deed uncouth,Are as the darkness swiftly taking flightBefore the bright, illuminating truth"Why stand aghast at nothingness?

Direction

KATHRINE H. WILLIAMS

Lord, when my footsteps pause at those detoursAlong life's road, I pray Thee let me seeThy pleasures wiser than the world's allures;And let me choose the path that goes to Thee,Remembering that vacillation findsAn ever-clouded scene, wherein no riftAbove illumes Thy certain way that windsLike gleaming ribbon through this shadow-drift.

There Is No Death
