Working With Joy

WILLIAM P. MCKENZIE

Work in the sunny hours,Work in the day;Let night-time be for resting,Forego the anxious questingThat burns 'neath wakeful eyes;Sleep, and at morn ariseFor work in sunny hours;Work in the day.

A Song of Hope

MAUDE CLARK HOUGH

There is no place,Nor time, nor space,Where Love is not!There is no willBut God's to stillUnrest.

Poem

Life ! infinite, divine, too wonderful for human thought to grasp—Life, evermore the source of all,And bringing all eternal good!Life! holy pow'r enabling us to riseAnd reach from out the lies of sense to findAnd claim our ownAt-one-ment with our God,A unity that knows no taint of flesh.

A Hymn

FLORENCE GILMAN HART

Sweet violets springing into birth,With timely showers that bathe the earth;The birds all caroling in songTheir early praises, loud and long,In purest melody—Should they not our devotion wake,And from each heart its burden take;Bring joy and comfort to abideWhere selfishness is prone to hide,Breaking Life's harmony?
