Benevolent Association

JAMES N. HATCH

Within thy walls God's light, now clearer grown,Fills every place with radiance and cheer;Though day without may lowering be and drear,Within no reflex of this gloom is shown,For where all space is filled with love aloneNo place is left for boding fear or gloom,And darkness finds no biding place or roomWhere trenchant light its glorious rays have thrown.
Poem

Peace

JOHN F. WADDINGTON

Protect us, O our Father, from the swordOf whispering tongues, which poison and defame;Keep us obedient to Thy precious Word:As our loved Master was, make us the same.
