OMNIPRESENCE

ADELLE E. BURCH.

I cannot doubt that Love attendsMy every step, where'er I go;No matter where the way may lead,Thy presence, Lord, dispels each woe.

THE LESSON OF PATMOS

JOHN M. DEAN

Teach me, O God, not with my lips to pray—The voice of prayer so many a time is drownedIn murky waves of oft-repeated soundThat choke the Spirit's call.

REST

JEANNETTE A. BECKER.

When work is done,And sleep broods softly o'erThe closing lids of day,Breathe thou a little prayerOf loving gratitudeTo th' Eternal OneWhose law, forever sure,Doth keep thee on thy wayWith tenderest care:And make a placeFor peace to enter inThy waiting heart.
