To My Chapel Dear Chapel mine, from thee I part today. No longer may I daily come to pray Within these templed walls where silence reigns. This calm retreat which soothes my cares and pains. No longer here I raise my voice in praise To Him. who guided me along life’s ways. To Him. the Living Throne encompassed there. Where angels, nuns, and girls adore in prayer. And now. 1 kneel with heart and soul uplift. To thank Him for my faith, great, wondrous gift! And kneeling here, my girlish troubles cease. While all about. 1 feel a radiant peace. Alas! dear Chapel mine, it pains to part: Thy image I will carry in my heart. I 23 | —Mary Craig. 12A.

A Quiet Visit When day is spent, and all in slumber rest. I love to steal to Him. my Friend the best. The vigil flickering low in chapel dim Invites my heart to closer draw to Him. The solemn quiet hours my prayer enhance. As kneeling there. I feel His kindly glance. 'Tis then that He who is the Truth, the Light. Assists me in my gropings for the right. And so 1 steal to Him when shadows fall: To Him who is my God. my All in All! And as the ruby flame does upward dance. Sweet joy. sweet peace, sweet love my soul entrance. The time has slipped away, and I must go: But He has heard and blessed me there. 1 know. —Ruth LeTendre. 12A. I 22 l
