Love's Touch

Marian J. cobb

I like to think that at GethsemaneWhen Jesus healed the high priest's servant's ear,Severed by the impetuous Peter's swordWielded through a mistaken zeal and fear,In that same hour the high priest's servant gainedA vision of the Christ, whose healing powerBanished forever all his hatred, whenLove's hand reached out and touched him in that hour;I like to think that from that moment heBecame a follower of the Christ, and learnedIn sweet humility to live the truthWhich erstwhile he in ignorance had spurned.

Christmas Morn

MAUDE DE VERSE NEWTON

As in a manger long ago,In Bethlehem the blest,The infant Saviour of the worldFound humble, homely rest;So to the bosom sad and lornThere comes the pledge of Christmas morn.

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.
