Service

VINA S. ADAMS

If I can smile, in patience waitingFor Love divine to show the way;If I can trust, despite the seeming,And honor Him in work and play;If I can hope, and know no doubting;If I can love, and have no fear,Then will my life be filled with service,And all the false will fade awayAs shadows dim before the sunshine, As darkness deep before the day.

Thanksgiving

ELLA M. KINSLEY

We thank Thee, Love divine,Not for a special gift or favor rare,But that Thou hearest every childlike prayer,And that Thou givest us each day's supplyFrom out the storehouse of infinity,With lavish hand.
