THE VOICE OF TRUTH

MARY J. ELMENDORF.

THY guiding Voice, O Truth, in thought I hear,Rebuking error, stilling grief and fear!My heart its healing benediction shrines;And lo, like sun-surf purpling hillside vines,A rush of radiance ripens power and cheer—Thy guiding Voice.

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.

THE COMING OF TRUTH

A golden sunbeam dawns upon my path;A glorious ray, like tender morning light,Awaking life and peace within, without;I fain would hold it, lest it take its flight.
