OUT OF BOUNDS

By John B. Tabb


A little Boy of heavenly birth,
  But far from home to-day,
Comes down to find His ball, the Earth,
  That Sin has cast away.
O comrades, let us one and all
Join in to get Him back His ball!



FATHER DAMIEN

By John B. Tabb


O God, the cleanest offering
Of tainted earth below,
Unblushing to Thy feet we bring—
"A leper white as snow!"



RECOGNITION

By John B. Tabb


When Christ went up to Calvary,
  His crown upon His head,
Each tree unto its fellow-tree
  In awful silence said:
"Behold the Gardener is He
Of Eden and Gethsemane!"
