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.

A hopeless heart, despairing,Sends out a cry for help;The answer comes in Love's own way,—The Love that never fails.

No Death Horizon

LILLIAN BARKER DURKEE

I stood on the sands one summer day,And watched a white ship that sailed awayFrom sheltering shores within the bay,Out to the great gray sea,Proudly her flag to the breeze unfurling,Cleaving the billows around her curling,Speeding away from me.
