Truth's Witness

He moves steadfastly on his daily round,Sustained by Truth that cannot be gainsaid,And where he lingers, joy and faith abound,For by the meat of wisdom he is fed.

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.

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!
