THE FACT OF PRAYER it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain ne of his disciples said unto him, "Lord, teach us to John also taught his disciples." EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE A fire mist and a planet, A crystal and a cell, And caves where the cave-men dwell; And others call it God. A haze on a far horizon, The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields And others call it God. Like tides on a crescent sea-beach A picket frozen on duty, A mother starved for her brood, Socrates drinking the hemlock, And Jesus on the rood; And millions who humble and nameless Some call it consecration And others call it God. -Carruth. |
