Greater Love

When the silver bells are pealing,Softly o'er my spirit stealing,Breaks a cadence sweet, compelling,Every dream of earth dispelling:'Tis the Christ-love born anew!

Christ Goes Before

FAY LINN

God’s child goes on his journey with a song;      He blends with hope and faith his pure desires,And knows he cannot hold a purpose wrong,     Since Love, the All-in-all, his thought inspires.

Poem

Gratitude

EDITH L. PERKINS

Now would we thank Thee, Father, for this day,Wherein to overcome, to watch and pray;Untiring in our efforts to effaceEarth's concepts false, vain theories displace,With endless patience weighing every thought,Except of Thee, rejecting each as naughtUntil, with mortal self so sacrificed,We gain a clearer vision of the Christ.

Love More!

MAUD LILIAN EASON

Love more!The gentle words came clearly to my earFrom one who long had worked, and earnestly,To free me from the thrall of error's chains:The letter you have gained abundantly,The one thing that is needed is to love.

Divine Principle

FRANK GIBSON

God is all power, a tower of strengthTo him who doth His presence feel;'Tis He alone, and none beside,Can sin destroy and sickness heal.
