The Way that He Willeth for Me

CYRENE EMERY.

The way that He willeth in love for me,That is the way for me!And I do not care how thorny and bareThe journey may seem to be,If only afar, on the mountain-side,In the light of the sun, I may seeThe shining garments and beckoning handOf the Guide He has sent to me.

Hidden Treasure

MARY J. ELMENDORF.

The raindrop trembles on the thirsty leaf;The first star sentinels the darkling sky;'Neath withered leaves the April violets blow;Along the west-wind breathes the heliotrope;And on the wave-washed sands of pain or grief—Fairer than raindrop or lone star on high,Sweeter than leaf—or wind-wooed bloom below—Lie Love's white pearls, Love's lustrous pearls of hope.

A Thanksgiving

A vision came to me in days gone by,A vision sweet of what I longed to be;A helper, as I listened to the deep, sad cry,—Of sin-enthralled, enslaved humanity.
