Omnipresence

HATTY MAY NASH

Our God is here! To Him we clingWhen evil would temptation bring;Though wrong beliefs tempt to despair,Our God is present everywhere.
Poem

My Place

GUY R. HOUGHTELIN

'T is not for me to say where I shall serve,Nor outline, Lord, the way Thy work I'll do;But where the Cause of Truth has need of me,There is the place where I, dear God, would be.

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

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

Incentive

HERSCHEL P. NUNN

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.
Poem

Awake

Confidence

MORRIS DARIUS GIVENS

To-Day for me there is no strife, No fear some need may be unmet;But there is love and peace and joy For healings I can ne'er forget.
