Thanksgiving for de.ul summer, showing

Of Faith’s white lilies in life’s rose rob¬

Thanksgiving for the storms on seas and
land.
Thunders that peal, lightnings that rend
tiie skies!
For only In the storm we hiss God’s hand—
And seek it with a prayer that purifies.
Thanksgiving for the winds that weep
and wall! •
Thanksgiving for all failings of the sod!
They prove that only one thing will not
fail:
The everlasting, holy LOVE OK tit)!)!
