Occupy

Have you e'er thought to write, God is my Life;To work with speech and deeds a noble line;To ply—thyself forgotten in the strife—Thy pen to praise and laudings superfine?

Autumn Foliage

Tints that no human brush can emulate,Shades that are blended by the miracleOf nature's artistry!The autumn beauties of emblazoned treesAre grand and noble evidence to allOf Mind's supreme control.

Thou art expressed!The majesty and might of towering mountain,The beauty of the stars, the shimmering moon,The fragrant flowers, the softly flowing fountain,Are symbols of Thy presence, night and noon.

My Prayer

In Thy vineyard, O my Father,Let me serve with happy heart,In Thy mighty work of heart,Let me have a humble part.

From the Hand of This Philistine

ROSA M. TURNER

I hear to-day the echo of a voiceThat rang in Judah's hills long years ago!A slender boy clad in a shepherd's coat,And in his hand a sling: from out the brookThat rippled in sweet purity alongHe took five stones—rounded, decisive thoughts;And with his face aglow, his courage high,He buckled on his armor of defense—The consciousness of God's omnipotence.

God is Everywhere

LOUISE A. BROWN

"Wait. and love more"*

F. MILDRED RICKMAN

Wait , watch, and work; in patience humbly pray;Wait for the blessings which Love sends each day;Watch over every thought, lest wrong creep in;Work to know Love is All, and false is sin.
