“T ill we all come in the un ity o f the faith, and o f the knowl­ edge o f the Son o f God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure o f the stature o f the fullness o f Christ” (Eph. 4:13).

Windblown, against the hills, I saw them stand: Gaunt trees, bereft along the windward side, Yet full and rounded on the other hand, Stretching abundant branches far and wide. The very force that swept the one side clean Of leaf and bough upon some gusty day, Had only caused the wise old trees to lean And grow more lovely in another way.

And though the winds of human circumstance Should strip this life of every earthly whim, Whatever be the toll of time or chance The heart that has been given unto Him Leans to His heart, and finds this sweet reward— A growth into the fullness of the Lord.
