Holy Days

You need not leave the grandeur of the hills, Returning to the city's crowded streets; The majesty of Spirit ever fills The heart that each new day with courage greets.

Poem

"A little coat"

ROSE E. SHARLAND

O tender mother-love! We like to markHow the child Samuel served in deed and thought,Tending the glowing flame before the ark,Wearing the coat his mother's hands had wrought.
Poem

Trust

FLORENCE ELIZABETH BUCK

How little children, free from every qualmOf carking care, to happy rest time yield,Content with that day's joy, serenely calm;Nor strive to know their parents' thought will shieldAnd keep their children with unloosening hold;Enriched by ceaseless wealth of careful loveAnd sure providing, safe as in a foldThe lambs unheedful rest, or as the doveIn its wood nest secure! So clouds of fearHave never dimmed the child's sweet heaven of peace,Or stirred a dread he might become less dear,Nor roused a wondering thought if love could cease.
Poem

Before We Call

LILIAN LAUFERTY WOLFE

Before we call He answers,And while we speak He hears;Our faintest supplicationRises to listening ears.

God is everywhere;I know it from the bird's glad singing,And from the dewdropsSo closely to the blossoms clinging.

Love

'Tis Love distills the sparkling dewOn herb and tender flower,And tints the sky in rainbow hueAfter the summer shower.

"Why weepest thou?"

ESTELLA M. STETSON

It is a shattering thing to see our joy,Our fairest earthly hope, lie dashed and dead;To stand beside the sepulcher and weep,And feel the baffled weariness of grief.

Teach Me to Wait

FAY LINN

Teach me to wait, dear Lord, and so restrainThe hasty wordThat only brings regret, and should remainUnthought, unheard.
Poem

Communion

BEATRICE CLAYTON

As the chime of the golden bells,When Aaron entered the Holy of HoliesIn the ancient Hebrew tabernacle,O'er listening silence, purest melody—So is love divine within the heart.
