Guidance

EDITH L. PERKINS

O guide unfailing, always art Thou here!Though earth's obscuring mists would intervene,Through consciousness uplifted Thou art seen,By Truth revealed in Spirit's atmosphere.
Poem

Gratitude

LOUISE ELIZABETH LITZSINGER

For Truth that has dawned upon error's long night,O'erspanning the cloud with its rainbow of light;For Love ever present, dispelling the gloom,Transforming earth's drought into fresheness and bloom;The balm of the healing Christ ever at hand,Supply all-sufficient for daily demand;For hope growing brighter, calm trust that sustains;For strength in the conflict, sweet peace which remains;For loved ones now walking this same narrow way,Whose fellowship cheers in the heat of the day;—For all the sweet joys which my footsteps attend,I thank Thee, dear Father, redeemer and friend.
Poem

Angel Reapers

ROBERT E. KEY

O Lord of harvest, when the seedIs swaying into ripened grain,Take from its side the stubborn weed,—The sin, disease, and pain;And on the happy harvest morn,When reapers greet the quiet day,Let glory gild the golden cornWith Love's celestial ray.

A million torches, lighted by Thy hand,Wander unwearied through the blue abyss;They own Thy power, accomplish Thy command—All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss.
