Spiritual Sense

ETHEL WASGATT DENNIS

That is not sight which looks on man as mortal,But rather blindness, with all error rife;Discernment, God-bestowed, is wise and tender,And so it demonstrates eternal Life.

My Own Song

MARY MARSHALL BROOKS

What if my song be such a simple songThat I, forgetting 'tis my own,May tempted be to one of loftier rangeOnly to find it rings not true in tone!What if the worldling's sneer should seek to checkThe song that wells up in my heart,And those I hold most dearThink, in these testing times,It has no part!Yet will I sing the song that is my own,And as I sing, with clearer, freer tone,Perhaps the love therein expressedMay comfort bring to some sad breast;Its note of warm compassion freeOne bound by sin, satiety;The gleam of truth it longs to bringMay help some burdened heart to sing,And in its train a vision brightOf man's dominion and his true birthrightOf Life and Truth and Love divine,That ever on his pathway shine.
Poem

There Is No Death

BERNICE M. WELLS

There is no death: through the false mist I seeA vision clear of immortality;Of life bereft of sorrow, sin, and pain,Where hearts are glad and love is not in vain;Where man is seen as God made him to be—Forever ageless, joyous, pure, and free;Where each one has his place, his work, his call,For God doth reign supremely over all.
