At-one-ment

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

As gently as the dew on tender flower,Comes to the heart Love's holy, healing power;As lightly as the breeze in summer air,Truth clears the mist of sense that lodgeth there.

How shall my heart sing songs in the night watches?

Immanuel

LAURA GERAHTY

When Love attunes my thought, and hatred flies,And Truth lays bare life's ills 'neath sunlit skies,Then Light of light! My heart in rapture cries.

Reflections

JANE LACY

So still and cool, a little pool,With can-tails fringed and grasses,Reflects their sheen of brown and green,Stirred by each breeze that passes.

Radiance

EDITH L. PERKINS

Now do the constant stars their vigil holdO'er sleeping earth until the morning breaks;So Love doth guard us till Life's laws unfold,And from its dream the world to Truth awakes.

"Watch"

SAMUEL JOHNSTONE MACDONALD

A serpent stole its sinuous wayInto the bed where sleeping lay,By slumber bound, a drowsy wight,From serpent's fang defenseless quite.

"Light"

Light, wondrous light, across the evening sky,Aglow on yonder hill!Light in my heart, for God is here and nigh.

Now

SAMUEL JOHNSTONE MACDONALD

Now has in time's pretense no part.

Poem

Light

GERTRUDE E. BALLARD

With vision of a seer, glad and free,The artist casts bright halos, as he paints,Around the heads of fair and holy saints,That humankind their holiness may see.
