Christmas

LIEUT. COL. ROBERT E. KEY

The floodgates of the Truth are open thrown,And one blessed beam, superb, divinely bright,Streams on the startled night!No moan, no cradle cry beclouds the birthOf this Redeemer, at whose gentle voiceThe deserts and the wilderness rejoice,And angels whisper, Peace, good will to earth.

"My thoughts"

BEN HAWORTH-BOOTH

My thoughts are not as Thine; but I would fainSo cleanse my mortal sense with sense divine,So strive to wash away the worldly stainOf earth's contagion, that this heart of mineMay seem a temple meet, a fane, a shrine,A cloister pure for Thine all-cleansing SpiritThere to abide; so may Thy flame refineMy fitful thoughts until at length they meritA sinless heritage, such as Thy saints inherit.
