Recognition

EDITH L. PERKINS

Hath life become a seeming blank to thee,Devoid of love, where love did once abound?
Poem

Stilled

ELIZABETH B. CATE

When heavy clouds of sense hang low,And restless thought runs to and fro,   Not knowing where to look,   I read the little book *   Till faith unfolds her wings,   Then soars aloft—and sings.

The Voice

FLORENCE SHEARER

Across life's turbulent and angry seaA voice is carried on love's wings to me;In accents penetrating inmost soulIt tells of joy and peace and holy things,Of cruel thongs released and freedom won—The voice of Truth.

Demonstration

DUDLEY STOW

Who in frail words can tell the unmeasured joyWhich comes to him who, having humbly trodThe narrow way that leads to life in God,Freeing the gold from dross and base alloy,Finds some glad day the gift for all who seek—The Father's everlasting arms of loveTenderly guiding, lifting thought above,Healing the proud, encouraging the meek!Such pilgrim, tempted with a sense of fear,Sickness, or sin, or seeing another so,Knowing God's allness, bids the intruder go,Declaring His the only presence here.
