FRET NOT THYSELF!

E. W. SMITH.

Fret not thyself! Be patient, strive to proveThe depth and vastness of our Father's love;When waves break high and winds blow fierce and chill,Our God who rules the storm cries, "Peace, be still.

THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS

ADA J. MILLER

The mountains call! Their heights in azure bathedSpeak of a broader view, of peace, of rest;But as we climb, sometimes, confronting usIs rock,—sheer, dark,—across the narrow way;And, looking back, the valley seems a heaven.

Poem

JESUS—CHRIST

LAURA GERAHTY.

O Master , thou with the patient eyesAnd the brow that bore and strove;With the voice that ne'er a word conveyedBut was born of infinite Love;Men say, as they pass on their way today,Bending low neath the weight of care,Could they touch thy hem that their silent griefWould melt in the saintly air.

LIFE, TRUTH, AND LOVE

Poem

GROWING

LAURA GERAHTY.

Poem

OUR KNIGHT

ADA J. MILLER.

Surely he'd come, this knight, and like the king,Arthur of old, redress the wrong and standFor honor, justice, and for stainless truth!In dream I saw him draw his sword,—the Word,Before whose power wrong shrinks, abashed and pale,Foreseeing doom in this one flash of light.
