"THE DARKNESS IS PAST."

ADIN E. BALLOU

O icy wind, from snow-clad mountains blowing,From summits where the winter still holds sway,In the chill freedom of your ebb and flowingIs felt no promise of the coming May.

THE BLESSINGS OF TODAY

EVELYN SYLVESTER KNOWLES.

THE MASTER'S WORK

J. W. DEANE

My Master's work would not be done Should my hand slack, or fail my feet Love's calls to heed, His errands run; On should I halt with message sweet To hungering hearts and souls downcast, Their wounds to stanch, their ills to mend, Nor drop Love's blessings sure and fast And be to them who need a friend.

BEN. HAWORTH-BOOTH.

Within thy house, O blessed pilgrim stranger,Watch well lest error creep in unaware!Hold dear its sanctity,Inviolate let it beFrom rude intrusion and earth's stagnant air!
