Poem

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.
Poem

A Prayer

ALICE JACQUELINE SHAW

Oh, lift mine eyes above the sons of men,That they may fasten on the things of Thee;For I am weary of the strife of kingsWhich wars against Thy law unceasingly—Kings, but whose crowns are made of worldly dust,That crumble at Thy word and sink to naught:Pride and the lust of power and place, which reachAnd fret for what can ne'er be sold or bought.
Poem

Impartial Love

ESTHER L. HILL

God, the Father, loveth all,Watcheth over, careth for,Leadeth, guideth all alike,—No one less and no one more;Each His son and heir beloved.
Poem

Faithfulness

FLORENCE LILIAN NEELY

E. JEWEL ROBINSON

The Father hath given each child of His careA garden implanted with seedlings so fair;The buds and the blossoms are molded above,Their petals all perfumed with meekness and love;Oh, blest is our God-given garden!
