[Written for the Journal]

THE COMFORTER

From the August 1927 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Since time began oft men have longed to know
More of the truth, eternal, undefiled,
The why of birth, the aftermath of death;
And searching, were by mortal mind beguiled.

Lo! here at last to fill with truth the void,
Comes answer through a woman's travail brought
By prayer and absorbing love of good
Unselfed, divine, with Spirit's power fraught.

The Science of the Christ in renaissance to-day,
Our Comforter, unveils the perfect man
Of God's creating, timeless, deathless, free,
Unfolding to us all Love's glorious plan.
