"STAND STILL."

FLORENCE B. GORMAN.

Ye shall not need to fight—stand still!Not fight, and yon great hostSwiftly advancing, grimly bent on strife?

THE WAVE

BEN. HAWORTH-BOOTH.

I POUR my voice upon the unresting shore,A sigh, a song, a rhapsody, a roar:And 'neath the golden sunI fly and float and run,And fling the sparkling pearls upon the airFrom out my gleaming hair.

Poem

OUR LIFE

WINIFRED BORLEE.

O God, our Life, upon whose tender breastAs trustful babes our heart should ever rest,Knowing that evil hath nor place nor part,Nor any voice nor kingdom where Thou art.

Poem

Since Father Time stands still, and heaven is here,...

Cassius M. Loomis

Since Father Time stands still, and heaven is here,And all eternity is ours by gift,Should we not learn from God — yes, know, indeed,That every cloud contains a friendly rift?

Poem

LONGING

J. E. Breed

Come that unshadowed dayWhen naught but good shall be,And mortals, wearily,No more shall cast awayThe blossoms, withered, sere,That but an hour agone,Dew-fragrant with the dawn.

Poem

OMNIPRESENCE

BLANCHE BLOOR SCHLEPPEY.

I may not know the breath that thrills the trees,Nor whose the touch that gives the grass its green,Nor how it is the snowflake gets its sheen,And why the rain-cloud woos the southern breeze.
