SIMON PETER

ELIZABETH EARL JONES.

Over the sea of human fear,Where winds and waves surged angrily,The Master's voice rang soft and clear,As o'er the sea he came to me.

THE NEARER VIEW

GERTRUDE RING

I did not know such heights were to be won!I thought them inaccessible, remote,Shining in solitude approached by none;Silent and colorless, save there should floatA fleecy sunset cloud awhile to flushIts majesty; then chilled, drop down in tearsUpon the summit, frozen by the hushTo icy mantle thickening with the years.

THE VISION OF TRUTH

WINIFRED BORLEE.

What traveler, wand'ring through some murky town,Begrimed with dirt and grim with lurking crime,But bears within him visions of a climeWhere peace and beauty vale and mountain crownWith gentle radiance, and the city's gownA robe of glory is; where hate nor timeHolds any slaves, where being is sublime,And Love knows neither nor jealous frown?
Poem

"CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY"

God's spirit falls on me as dewdrops on the rose,If I but like a rose my heart to Him unclose.
