Pilgrims of God

VIOLA I. WELLS

ONWARD we go, pilgrims of God! The South giveth up, and the great Northland; The hordes of the East and the West unite; From the peaceful plains and the mountain slopes, The faithful hear and onward go.

Couldest Thou Not Watch?

KATE W. BUCK

HE stood alone, The Master of us all! And no one heard The wistful human call; His longing for One understanding heart Brought no response; And as he knelt apart, He turned to God, To find in Him alone His need supplied, The Christ supreme—God's own!

Praise

LAURA GERAHTY

The Upper Room

MARION STUART HOWE

The faithful few who doubted not the Master's wordWere waiting, hearts attuned, in one divine accord,To greet the promised one, the Comforter,When lo! it came with rushing wind and flaming tongues of fire,Inspiring each to heal and save by Truth's almighty power,To bring salvation sure to men,And carry on the work the Christ began.
