Love, the Victor

KIMMIS HARTLEY HENDRICK

I never shall forget the loving wordsHe spoke so softly in the deepening nightAmong the shadowy trees.

Compassion wears soft robes of tenderness,And seeks to bless humanity with peace;Enfolds each struggling thought consolingly,And whispers promises of sweet release;Blinds up the broken ones and bids them lookFor comfort in the precious "little book.

Patience

The Treasury

FLORENCE A. ALLEY

The rich men threw in their coins that dayWith scarce a thought, and went their way;But the widow paused, methinks, to prayAs she cast in all her living.
