My soul is stirred by this poem and serves as a focal point of my calling as a Minister.....
This poem, entitled "The Call" is one of my favorites by Ernest Holmes - most do not know of its existence. It can only be found in the original 1926 edition of "The Science of Mind" text, in which its local is odd at bests. It can be found at the end of the Glossary and just before the Index (no page number).
After the reorganization of the text in 1938 - the poem disappears - and to my knowledge is not published in any other location.
This I saw, or else some inner presence made it known to me;
The Universe is filled with life; the air, the sky, the sea
Teem with intelligence, with majesty and might;
And deep within me, some subtle inner sight
Beholds and sees, comprehends and knows the All,
Nor fears nor falters, but answers the Divine Call
To be as one beyond the bounds of time and space,
To overcome the bondage of the human race,
And leap, with trust undaunted, free,
Into the depths of that Infinite Sea
Whose waters, calm, are ready to receive
Those, who in simple faith, believe.
