How beautiful the feet of those...

R. E. Key

How beautiful the feet of thoseWho on the mount of holy praiseHave walked above the vale of woes,To aid the toiler on his ways!—Not on the mount of holy lightTo live alone in calm repose,But ever lifting into sightThe blind, who in a vale of woesAre striving to attain the height,And wrestling with their phantom foes.
Poem

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

In the Mountains

GWENDOLYN THOMAS

I heard a lonely shepherd wind his hornUpon the stillness of an alpine morn,And heavenly fantasies from rock and dellPoured down in echoes to his humble cell,As though upon some organ strange and fairA seraph played, in the pure upper air.

"The Prince of Peace"

FRANCES A. HALDANE

He comes! The world may clamor as it will,And war's wild tumult sound its loud alarms,Till nation after nation hears the shrillInsistent echoing, "To arms! To arms!"He comes! Already that fair morning's charms,When Spirit's mandate bade the darkness flee,Unfold, dispersing every mist that harms,And fear that gendereth dread enmity.

From out the Mists

MINNIE TINGLE

The day, to mortal sense, was dark and drear;A mantle gray enveloped earth and sky;From o'er the dim and distant mountains highThe rain-clouds swept, dispelling light and cheer.
