Healing

MARION WELLS DAVIS

When one has felt the influence of Love,Emerging from his earthly, finite shell,To touch the hem of Truth's own robe, 'tis wellThat he should ponder deep those things aboveEarth's understanding, seek to find the sourceAnd fountain-head from which has come to himThat peace which passes understanding, dimTo mortal sense.
Poem

Now!

WALTER BERRY

Our God shall wipe away all tears,Smooth furrows from the brow,Assurance give in place of fears,Not afterward—but now.

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.

Thy Wilderness Shall Joyful Be

BERTHA RIVERS-THOMPSON

Wide spaces of a distant land forlorn,Dim in the world's gray morn,Darkness without a star, without a light,Nor shade, nor shelter, in the scorching sunOf midday heat—and when the day is doneLoneliness, fear, and doubt come with the night!And yet, the seer of oldIn shining words foretold,The wilderness shall blossom as the rose,Joy in the solitary place shall be—Instead of thorns shall grow the myrtle tree—And shadow of a rock for your repose.
