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.

I thank Thee for this dayOf quiet rest and prayer.

Peniel

BEATRICE CLAYTON

Art thou, like Jacob, wrestling through the nightWith a mysterious foe?

Poem

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.

Desire

Father , 'tis not for wealth I pray—Wealth that is gold;My needs are met afresh each day.

Little Things

Poem

The Comforter

Mabel F. SKINNER

Truth is my fortress and my strength,My comfort and my rod;In times of seeming doubt and fear,My refuge and my God.

Poem

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.
