THE TWO SISTERS
Martha I met in the heat of the day. Sweeping and dusting away. Moving her hands with astonishing Bpeed, And the room grew clean indeed. "Martha, dear Martha, sit down and rest.""I must prepare (for our honoured Guest." Mary I met on the brow of tho hill, When the hight was clear and still. Stretching her hands to the arch of the sky, With her soul just poised to fly. "Mary, dear Mary, 'tis time for sleep." "I have a vigil with God to keep." Martha and Mary I saw in the street, And they were a joy to meet. Each had a radiant smile on her face, Which told of the Quiet Place. •'Martha and Mary, the friends of Ckrist, Teach me the way of your holy tryst." — Lilian G. Grisp.
