Obedience

BETH HUGHES D'AETH

The day seemed dark and full of gloom,Athwart the sky the shadow fell,My weary heart gave doubt full roomAnd none seemed near that I could tell.
Poem

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.
