Poem

Prescience

JOSEPH LEWIS FRENCH

The wise men in the East beheld a star,And journeying onward felt new glory's scope,—A wisdom, and a mission, and a hope,Transcending heights whereon time's altars are;And coming down the years they kenned afar,As something seen far-off, a mountain-slope,A risen radiance, as when dawn doth ope,The vision of a fadeless avatar!
Poem

Kindness

CHARLES C. SANDELIN

Kindness , a breath of blissful peace,From heart to heart sped on its way,Bringeth the joy of heaven today,And maketh the din of earth to cease.

I met my comrade in the way,And scarce I knew his face,So changed it was from grave to gay,So lit with light of higher day,So touched to nobler grace.

Prophecy

W. EDSON SMITH

In God's good time the sunlight clearWill flood our paths with gleaming gold,And all the griefs of yester-yearIn gladness and great joy unfold:White blooms will spread their fragrance farO'er wide, wide fields of wrong,And sober woodland silencesBreak into silver song.
