Love More!

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.

Peace

CICELY L. BLOCK

How lovely is the soft gray dusk,When all the earth is still,When flowers are closed, and birds are hushed,And pearl-mist veils the hill!Then turns my heart to thoughts of peace,To God, who tenderlyEnfolds all nature in His arms,—Our loving Father He.

The Seamless Dress

REUBEN POGSON

As she, amidst that thronging crowd,Was rudely jostled and delayedBefore she reached the Christ-endowed,And, touching, found her issue stayed;So we amidst the whirling throngOf mortal thoughts that daze the mind,Seem hindered, as we press along,When we the God-idea would find.
