Love

OSCAR GRAHAM PEEKE

How little knew that Pharisee of Love,Who gave his honored guest no welcome kiss,That guest whose heart reached out so yearninglyTo bless mankind—to heal its griefs and pains!Even cool water for his sun-drenched feetUnproffered was, because of selfish pride.

Lift Up Your Hearts

ALEXANDER DUNCAN NELSON

Just as a child its mother's call obeys,Yet waits not always for her call to hear,But unreproven to that presence comesAnd comfort finds, as mother's lips bestowThe kiss which heals alike pretense or hurt;So we, O Father, hear Thy call and find,In our obedience, brighter glows the lightWhich leads on through the long day's chastening.
