THE COLLEGE CHURCH “A little church; the settlers come for miles. Some few, unhearing, sit in selfish dreams; For life is vilely mingled, sweetly mixed, Scanty or bounteous in vital force; But here the most are really worshippers Seeking in fellowship a sympathy With God. Their simple faces plainly show What feelings stir the heart, for hard looks melt, And thin, worn wretchedness in garb grotesque Is eased of ugliness while it feeds On love and hope. This meager hour may lift Some grovelling face to see the blessed sky; Master a soul, and yield it back to life Tempered against the evil days to be.” — Piper.

“A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wondrous plan F ' the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. “Gone is the builder’s temple. Crumpled into dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child’s immortal soul.” —Unknown.
