A lily miracle.

Upon a dark, bemired life

A gleam of human love was flung.

And lo, from that ungenial soil

A noble deed upsprung.

(1898)


Upon the foundation of love a great work was done in Paris, France:

When Mr. McAll began his work he could utter but two sentences in the tongue of those workingmen. One was “God loves you,” and the other, “I love you”; and upon those two, as pillars, the whole arch rests.—Pierson, “The Miracles of Missions.”
