Reflection

BERTHA MARGARET PRICE

At dawn, the tired world not yet awake,I rose and sought the quiet water's edge;And on the placid surface of the lakeEach purple ridge, each cliff and rocky ledge,Each silent cedar, pine, and paling starReflected lay, and imaged forth, sereneAnd still—no breeze to ruffle or to marThe calm and beauty of the encircling scene.
Poem

The One Hundredth Psalm

WILBUR EDGERTON SANDERS

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, ye lands;Unto Him, O nations, truth and love be bringing;Serve the Lord with gladness, good His purpose stands;Come before His presence, praise His name with singing.
