Poems

Compassion

STELLA L. MYATT

He was the friend of publicans and sinners,He walked among the lowly and the meek;He healed the lepers in their unclean raiment,He to the outcast loving words did speak.

Poem

All-sufficient

ALICE E. CHATFIELD

Dear Mother-Love, so infinitely tender,Guiding, protecting, all along the way;No cause have we to doubt Thy loving presence,No fear that we need ever go astray.

Poem

Trust

BESSIE EVANGELINE MURCH

In sweet communion, Lord, with Thee,No sense of earth's inharmonyMy heart can know.

Poem

Humility's Fruition

SARAH V. CORNELIUS

How sweet to know that Love divine surrounds us;That we can trust our loved ones to His care,And, loosing them from mortal thought's false bondage,Can see them perfect, free, divinely fair.

Poem

Nathanael of Galilee

SUSAN C. HOUSE

Nathanael —Thou of Galilee,In meditation wondrous sweet,Did angels come to thee,And with message so divine,That thou its import sought to know?

Poem

In love for God and man, we find incentive trueTo heal and save; burdens to lift;To see beyond the pale of mortal ken, and lookWithin the veil, where, Love-enshrined,The child of God is seen, all pure and undefiled,All holy, gentle, Christlike, fair,Till what's unlike the Father fades,—becomes a myth,Illusion, phantom, fantasy,Mist-woven by vain mortal thoughts.
