True Happiness

CHARLOTTE BRUNER

To leave ambition and false pride behind,The thirst for wealth, the eagerness for fame,To kindle in our hearts the welcome flameOf self-forgetfulness, to know that MindIs both end and beginning,—this we findIs the real road to happiness, the sameWay Jesus trod.

Mary Baker Eddy

MARY BEECHER LONGYEAR

Unnumbered thousands, under God's bright skiesThat glisten nightly, since the shepherds sawThe heavens illumed, and kneeling heard with aweThe angel's song,—unnumbered thousands riseOn earth to-day with happy fearless mien,In stately churches crowned with marble domes,In little scattered hamlets, simple homes,As witnesses to light from heaven seen.
