Silent Prayer

Liberation

PAULINE IDA YOUNG

'Twas not for greater wealth, nor greater power,That Thou, dear God, didst bring us to this hour:To serve Thee more, to do and work Thy will,Forgo all thought of self, to mount the hillLeading to Thee, leaving the world behind,Freeing our thoughts of all dark things that bindAnd shackle—till we rise and stand, sense free,Upon the mountaintops, at peace with Thee!

My Prayer

MEDA C. LESCHEN CLIFTON

If I should have some human heart's desire,Which even needful, then, may seem to be,O let me pray with steadfast thought entire:Prepare Thou me for what Thou hast prepared for me!
