How Can You Find a Realm?

Eugene F. Voorhies

How can you find a realm where sickness is?
There is no faltering fear in Love divine,
And if you are a child of that great Love
Can you not claim all Good for me and mine?

If Good has always been, and always will
Be constant Love, and boundless as the sea,
Can you not bravely say the "Peace be Still"
And claim the promise now for you and me

How can you find a realm where sin can be?
There is no dismal darkness in His Light,
For if that One Great Mind could sinful be
Then every sinful son would die to-night.

Ah, no! this Truth is Infinite and All,
There is no other God upon the throne,
There is no sin or sickness to be found,
For this great God is One and One alone.

How can you find a realm where death is king?
Is not your God a God of Life and Love?
Has he created man a living thing,
Then taught him he must die to go above?

No, child; there is no realm where sorrow is,
No place in all the universe for fears;
For Love divine is all, and always is,
And Good has come to wipe away your tears.

Oh! do not seek a seeming realm of sin,
Cling closely to the omnipresent Mind;
There is no place where Love has never been,
And so that realm of fear you'll never find.

Some people think they are keeping the Sabbath when they are not at work; no matter what else they are doing,—talking about their neighbors, gormandizing, or reading some folly, to make themselves and others miserable. Such might far better spend the day in some useful employment.

The Sunday School Times says: "If a man wants to be on the winning side, let him be on the right side. If a man is on the right side he will be on the winning side. The right side is God's side, and God's side is sure of a triumph in the end, however it looks to the world just now."
