Come Walk with Love!

MINNY M. H. AYERS

I walk with Love along the way,And oh, it is a holy day!Instead of heartless, cruel fear,I feel God's presence with me here;The joy that none can take awayIs mine—I walk with Love to-day!

Service

MABEL FETT MILLER

Father, I would serve Thee;What wouldst Thou have of me upon this quiet hill,Where valorous deeds are known as echoes onlyBrought by the winds that voyage where they will?

Poem

The Teacher

EDITH GADDIS BREWER

Jesus, great Teacher of the sons of earth,Wondrous Exemplar of the lessons taught,Inspirer of the effort for new birth Which with the death of matter must be bought; Thou, as a young lad, taught the elders law,To Mary's waiting thought the truth didst give,Explained the way till Nicodemus sawMen must be born again if they would live.

Poem

Omnipresent Love

EUNICE M. BRONSON

To-day the Father's care encircles me,And I may everywhere reflected seeHis perfect image; wheresoe'er I goMay all the day His kind protection know,May find in friendly smile or swift caressA sweet reminder of His tenderness;May sense, perhaps, beneath a lofty skyHow closely in His gentle arms we lie,When shyly some small woodsy thing shall glideAcross a lonely path at eventide;Or glancing up, I'll chance perhaps to seeThe inky black of silhouetted treeAgainst a flaming sunset's afterglow,And something of His boundless glory know.
Poem

Reflection

IDA MARIA HANSON

Reflected in the waters still,Behold the encircling landscape's face;The woodland trees, the verdant hill,In perfect order, beauty, grace!

The Humble Tasks

IRIS V. ZEA

Help me, O Lord, the humble tasks to do;Give me to serve Thee with my thought each day,So joyously that as I bake or sweep,My light may shine to those along the way.
