Consecration

EDITH MARGARET HOLMAN

Once when the daily round seemed dull and drear,This message came to me, divinely clear:Know, child of Mine, that all I askIs that thy daily taskShall with such loving care and tendernessBe wrought, that all who seeMay feel and recognize 't was done for Me.

The Standard

FREDERICK STARR CAMPBELL

I learned to sing when shadows fellAnd days grew dark and drear;For though I made my bed in hell,God's tender love was near.

Thy Word

IDA RANDALL SIMONEAU

No other legacy I askThan that Thy Word reveals;It searches every hope of men,And human longing heals.

Victory

EDITH L. PERKINS

Temptation came to speak an angry word,—Instead, a prayer, that hatred's claim might yield.

MABEL CONE BUSHNELL

How many times the human heart,Burdened with all its woe,Turns wearily to present Love,And meekly prays to know.
