Our tomorrow is like a hill shouldering the sky. We know of other hills— bright Hermon's slope, and Carmel; Sinai, or hushed Olivet. Bethel has ever been a mountain journey. Did you indwell those hallowed heights? Or did You seek a home in Pilgrim breast? O God of olden Bethel, Lord of today, and of tomorrow’s world. nourish our inner man! Unstop the wellsprings of our strength: not things, but spirit; grace, and truth, and love. Let what is seen express the inner wholeness of the God-claimed soul. Lead us to the height of our tomorrow— to live the costly life of God. F. Wheeler 5
