Poems

STRENGTH AND PERSISTENCY

From the April 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The following has been written in reply to the lines which appeared in the "News," entitled, "Weakness and Perversity."

God, the Eternal Mind, far-reaching, unconfined,
Whose love no thought can comprehend, or goodness has
divined;
He who pervades all space, in whom all life exists,
To whom all powers, all heights, all depths, are less than
summer mists;

He hath created us, in image like His own—
As from the lofty forest tree a thistle ne'er has grown,
So from the Mind of God nothing unlike Him springs,
For like yields like; God has made us, then are we worthless
things?
