Out of the Mist

STELLA L. MYATT

Out of the mist in the day's early dawning,Spread like a garment o'er hillside and glen,Sparkling and fresh with the dews of the morning,Comes the green earth in its beauty again;Where the bright sun casts its rays, warm and tender,Melt like a shadow the vapors away,From snowy peaks where, in radiant splendor,Shines the fair promise of blessings to-day.

Remember the Good

LILLIAN BARKER DURKEE

Remember the good of yester-years;Whatever your life has been,Forget the fears and forget the tears,The pains and the sense of sin;For only the good to-day is true,And only the good was then;To-morrow, too, has but good for you,For good is Love's gift to men.
