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!

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.
