This is the only volume of M. E. Barber's poems which she endeavored to publish. It contains forty-two poems, with most poems taking up a single page. It was published after her death by her niece, Miss [[M. L. S. Ballord]]. The foreword and table of contents are recorded below, taken from a picture of the book in its first printing. The table of contents lists Miss Barber's poems by their titles; however, most hymnals have not preserved these titles and we now know them usually by only their first lines. In fact, [[Comparing Verses of a Pilgrim with Anchored to Infinity|comparing]] *Verses of a Pilgrim* to *Anchored to Infinity* is the only way we have been able to determine which poems go with which titles. Their common names and/or the first lines are placed under each entry for clarity. # Pictures of the original printing ![[The Verses of a Pilgrim Original_ 1 Cover.png]] ![[The Verses of a Pilgrim Original_ 2 Foreward.png]] ![[The Verses of a Pilgrim Original_ 3 Contents.png]] ![[The Verses of a Pilgrim Original_ 4 Contents Cont.png]] ![[The Verses of a Pilgrim Original_ 5 The Path I Travel.png]] # Foreword The writer of these little song-messages had, during the last few months of her life, a strong desire to send out some of the words of comfort the Lord had given her in booklet form, in order to reach a wider circle of the Lord's own. He took her to Himself before this desire could be realized, but they are now sent forth with the prayer that they may bring some cheer to fellow-pilgrims, travelling Home to God. M. L. S. B.
