Love Rules

F. MARION RALSTON

Love rules ! Let that suffice To ease thy pain, And afterwhile, what good thou'st seemed to lose Thou'lt find again.

Poem

Sunshine everywhere!...

Katherine T. Porter

Sunshine everywhere! I have no care—Nor do I pineFor rays that on my brother shine;For all is mineWith sunshine everywhere!'Tis but—lo here, lo there—To study close another's lot;And to compareWith his what thou hast got;Each has his shareWith sunshine everywhere!

Poem

"The mighty God"

MABEL GORDON-INGLIS

Can we essay to circumscribe the Mind,Creative source of all that is, and was,And is to be?
Poem

Morning

EDITH L. PERKINS

As when across the waking east there showsThe first faint flush of dawn, whose latent beamsPortend the coming of the light that teemsTriumphant till the earth no shadow knows;So in the heart where now but faintly glowsThe presence of the Christ, these quickening gleamsGive promise of release from earthly dreamsWhen Spirit's light the consciousness o'erflows.
Poem

Consecration

EVELYN SYLVESTER KNOWLES

Oh may I keep my thought so clear, so fair,That angels, with their fingers pure as light,May trace the will of God unhindered there.
Poem

"It doth not yet appear"

FRANCES A. HALDANCE

It doth not yet appear how much of gloryMay grace the dawning of another day;How fair the earth may glisten in the sunbeamsWhen once the storms of error roll away.
Poem

"The secret place"

LILLIAN BARKER BEEDE

Within Thy secret place, O Love, I kneel:The door is shut; no sinful sense can stealAcross the threshold of this holy placeWhere I have come in search of truth and grace;My lips are mute; here thought alone doth prayFor revelation of the Christly way.
Poem

As a Man Thinketh

JAMES NOBLE HATCH

Oh, I heard the ceaseless sighing of the winds of discontent,Heard it when the day was dying, heard it ere the morn was spent;      From the broad plain and the mountain,      From the lowland and the sea,The one sound was the same sound that was wafted back to me;A sound beset with sadness from the realms of blighted dreams,A plaintive song of a world all wrong, where hope no radiance gleams.
