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.

Wide Swing the Gates

ROBERTA B. LYNCH

Dim, distant vision, gray and indistinct,Hidden as yet in the dense mortal haze,Beckons our faith that knows before it seesThe dawn of happiness, of God's bright days.

I Thank Thee, God, That Thou Art All

MARGARET MITTS

When I do know that Thou art All, O God,A sense of calm assurance comes; and thoughMy path be strewn with obstacles, I findIt possible to follow on, my handIn Thine! And as Thou leadest me beyondThe maze where fear or doubt would baffle me,Oh, then I pause in deep humility,My heart to rest within Thy wondrous light,My feet to stand more firmly on the rock,My voice to cry aloud in gratitudeThat Thou art All.

Our Goal

EUNICE M. BRONSON

To hold such kindness in our every thought That even those we chance to meet In ways most casual may sometimes feel A gentle sense of peace, A pure serenity, As when the sweet and unexpected breath Of flowers rare May sometimes steal upon us unaware, And leave us strangely glad.
