"The Journey"
' As I tread the aisles of my heart,
Bleeding for righteousness, my path lies
Straight.
Though my journey through the hallowed
Chambers is darkened with pitfalls of sin,
Christ is my lantern of guidance.
There are times in my toil when evils
Lie in wait for me, like mines on a battle
field, but the word and prayer shield me.
1 know the daylight of my heavely home
V0jfCmm?~- ?i" i -- - ^ r j,JIL -^rara ' "
So I must stay fast to the word, for it is
My beginning and my end.
Amen.
Bro. Charles Reid
44All N All"
You are not my all, after all.
On you, I thought the sun rose and set.
Without you no way my needs could be met.
Then you walk out of the door,
Of course my world would crash,
With a roar.
Now I was sure the end would come,
For all along 1 had been so dumb.
But no greater ending could ever be;
* I was finally introduced to me.
Betty S. Maxwell
"Fear"
I'm by myself;
It's a creature in my house.
No one's with me.

"The Greatest Disappointment"
Ac I annr/M>/<ha/l tVia nnta
rw m appivavuvu mv gait,
I saw the masses patiently waiting.
My eyes beheld a King in raiments white as snow,
Resting on his throne, in that city made of gold.
There he sat, ready to judge us all.
1 waited anxiously, for my name he would call.
When he called me, I ran to him with a smile.
He said, "Take a seat here, my precious child."
He spoke of all the good deeds I'd done,
He congratulated and thanked me for the race I'd run.
I thought that was all, and in Heaven I'd stay,
When suddenly I stood, preparing to walk away.
He said, 44Wait, my child, with you I'm not finished!
What about that grudge you omitted to diminish?
What about that 4ime you knew things weren't being
done right,
Yet you sat, refusing to stand up for me, sad and uptight?
That, my child, was a sin of omission.
You cannot enter, although you worked well,
And were forgiven for your sins of commission.
It did you no good to live your life doing good,
And not visiting those sick elders as you knew
you should."
1 cried in a loud voice, "Oh, Lord, who me?"
1 could not believe with my Christ I would not be.
"You mean I paid tithes, money I could have spent,
And worried my friends, begging them to repent;
I endured embarrassment, pain and scorn,
By telling strangers again they must be born,
1 worked in my church with dedication and excitement,
Just to get here and be told, in vain my time on earth
was spent?"
Suddenly, I woke, despairingly in tears,
I had dreamed I'd worked for many years.
Thank God it was a dream and not for real.
Thank God, one day he stamped on me His reassuring
Seal.
So that one day when this life is over,
I will live with You in peace and rejoice forever!
