God is Spirit

KATE M. DICKERSON

Gentle Spirit, this I see—Justice, mercy, dwell with Thee,In Thy presence, From aboveIs our comfort, peace, and love;And Thy tender, loving careComes through daily earnest prayer,Till the vision, pure and bright,Fills our hearts with God's daylight.

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.
Poem

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.

"Neither do I condemn thee"

He , looking up into that holy placeSaw none but God's own child, in snow-white grace;With one long glance from eyes that, radiant, shoneIn Truth's pure light, beholding Love alone,He gently spoke the message of release,Neither do I condemn thee; go in peace,And sin no more!.
