"A beam in darkness"

REUBEN POGSON

Fan bright the spark of holy flameThat in the dark so gemlike gleams,Dispelling with its tiny beamsAll thoughts that bring the gloom of shame.
Poem

Desire

When morning's radiant splendors glowAbout the day's bright eastern door,My thought ascends in plea to knowHow I may praise Thee more.

Come Walk with Love!

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

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.
