A Dream

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

The night with dreams was filled, with terrors dread,And real unto my slumbering sense did seem:Oh, what a world that did with specters teem,As in the chamber of the living dead!I sought to flee, but could not turn my head,Fast bound within the fetters of the dream,When, lo! amid the darkness there did gleamA ray of light: behold, the dream had fled!

Thine is the Kingdom

F. WINIFRED S. BLOXHAM

Thine is the kingdom; so where'er we lookAll things bespeak a Father's loving care;Decay and discord, sin, disease, and death—No dark dream shadows find a refuge there.

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.

Gratitude

MARGARET MORRISON

I THANK thee, Father! O that I might knowThe meaning of those gracious words, that flowFrom humble hearts up to the eternal fountOf Love; and thence, returning, do anointThe brows of pain with peace, and to the gloomOf earth-bound prisons bring light's balm and bloom!
Poem

A Reading from Nature

WARWICK JAMES PRICE

Drifting in from the moaning sea,Over the beach and the tide-pooled lea,The gray fog shuts down drearilyOn all my world;Till the outer bar is a distant sound,And the children's tent but a misty mound,And the trees dim sentries set around,Their standards furled.
Poem

Waiting
