Clara Bancroft Beatley Apples of Gold: A Book of Selected Verse 1911

Description: foreword. Poetry is the highest means of developing the religious sentiment. 6 Its sole aim is to keep open the great highway which leads from the seen to the un-seen." The poet sees beyond the ordinary vision: he reaches the heights and depths of feeling. He reports what he sees and feels in word-pictures charged with emotional power. The wise teacher, in the home, the school, the church, or wheresoever circumstanced, recognizing the disposition of the growing mind to receive sug-gestion, selects choice poems for memory-teaching, and early in life implants the ideals of conduct appropriate to noble youth and manhood. This book of verse has been compiled to bring to-gether, in convenient and attractive form, many poems and parts of poems for memory-teaching. Fifty familiar hymns, rich in thought and sentiment and universal in acceptance, have been included. It is hoped that many of the single stanzas may be used by the family at breakfast, when, after the separation of sleep, the members come together in the light of a new day. A beautiful custom is the joining of hands about the table, and the reciting of an appropriate stanza, followed by a brief thanks-giving. Those who have awakened to this symbolism in childhood are free from the excess of consciousness which hinders family devotion. A simple quotation
