Grace

ABBY S. PERRY

How can we know the truth of grace divine,Unless we know a love so deep, so true,That, free from self and all demands, all signOf condemnation, we can look clear throughThe outward seeming to the image pure,Can let our love shine round it like the light,With tenderness, compassion, feeling sureThat God's reflection must be ever bright?
Poem

HELEN NEWHALL WINCHESTER

The billows of all human hopeNow rise, now fall,—Symbols unsteady of a lifeApart from Truth,—E'en as a ship at sea doth ride,Its moorings loosed.
