Thy Gifts

BERNICE M. WELLS

This prayer is mine—A love forgiving, faithful, pure, divine.
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.

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!

From Conquering hate, enthroning peace

Love's triumph over hate

How can we love when others hate? Prayerful turning to God, divine Love, with the earnest desire to express His qualities under all circumstances will give us strength and ability to do right.

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

And I knew that thou hearest me always!Thus spake the blessed Master as he stoodBefore the silent tomb of him he loved,Amid the weeping women and the menAssembled there in mourning for the dead.

Fulfillment

ELENORA E. PIKE

Beneath a weary burden bending low—A burden seeming more than men can bear,Of sin and grief and earth's unending woe—Bowed by its heavy weight of ceaseless care,Upon the shore of earth's deep, troubled sea,A mortal sinks in silent misery.

ANNE CLEVELAND CHENEY

As I lingered for a moment by the door,And overheard the baby's prayerWhispered to imploreOur Father's blessing, all the airSeemed filled with fragrance—just as thoughA bud had soft unfolded thereOn some rare stem which only angels know.
