A MOTHER DEDICATES HER CHILDREN This is the promise that I claim for these Whom Thou hast given me, Lord, to guide. Strong, straight and beautiful as liv ing trees, Here in Thy house I'll set them side by side: Down to the solid rock of Truth HI go, Press close the soil of Faith with hands of Love, Out of its depths— magnificent— shall grow These that shall flourish in Thy courts above. Daily I'll water them with Thy good Word, And from their hearts HI pull the weeds of sin, This is the best that I can do, O Lord; But Thou wilt finish what Thou didst begin, And I can leave them with a quiet peace: Man sows the seed— God giveth the increase. — Helen Frazee-Bower

A MOTHER'S REQUEST What do I want for Mother's Day? you ask My fair young daughter, and my stalwart son. Only that you should finish up the task That, in life's evening, seems but just begun— The task that I can never now com plete, Of setting forth the Way, the Life, the Truth, Except you lend to me your eager feet, Your questing spirits and your gallant youth. What do I want for Mother's Day? No gift That *any purse could buy. But one request I make of you: that, daily, you might lift The Cross of Christ and publish, east and west, And north and south, the tidings of His grace. What do I want for Mother's Day? Just this: Your hands, your hearts, your voices for my Christ; This is the ultimate of earthly bliss. There is no comfort I have sacrificed For you that was too much. So do not bring The casual token . . . But, when ways grow rough, Then light my twilight with remem bering Your mother's God, for you, is still enough. — by Helen Frazee-Bower
