Poem

Our Church

VIRGINIA M. CASSEL

WHEN in sincere desire for truth and goodWe break with love the ground of hardened thought,Lay the foundation of enlightened faith,Place stone on stone of constant gratitude,Crowning the structure with a steadfast joy,Furnishing it with peace and quiet prayer—When in our consciousness we do these things,Then do we build and consecrate our church.
Poem

He Turned Aside to See

FLORENCE KERR WOEHLKE

He turned aside to see,Nor followed with his eyes, or anxious thought,The windings of the sheep of Jethro's flockGrazing at peace upon the Horeb height;Nor feared lest one should stray,Or, timid, take to flight.
