COMPLETE IN THEE

FRANCES MACK MANN

Complete in Thee, we do not seeThe petty things that gender strife;Broad grows the outlook, boundless, free:Eternal good the only Life.

Like as the early autumn breezeGoes chanting through the hilltop treesIts joy and happiness,Let me my voice, like David, raiseIn psalms of thanks and grateful praise,And Thy great goodness bless.

IN Thy pure sight, O wondrous eyes of God,Naught but the perfect thought is ever seen;For every serpent-fear, behold, a rod!On which the erring human sense may lean.

TEACH ME

S. GORDON THOMSON

TEACH me to watch when mortal night is deepest, Assured there comes a passing of the night, When I may open wide my Father's window And point the rousing dreamer to the light.

DISCIPLESHIP

KATHARINE J. SMITH

IF thou should'st look about thee in the sunlightAnd see a shaft of white within thy door,—One with a storeOf peace upon a brow transfigured, white;Christ's footfall too would thrill thy wakened ear,And by his omnipresence, and one dear,Would thy bare room be graced and glorified.

THE LESSON OF PATMOS

JOHN M. DEAN

No dwelling-place in palace walls,No cant of creed, no vain display,No cushioned couch nor gilded hallsCould mark the Revelator's way;But on a rock all drear and bare,A wave-washed, desolate abode,—The lone apostle praying thereDrew nearer to his loving God,On Patmos.
