0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR
(To the music of "Webb")
0 God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
. Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not Thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue a11d pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damiiatlon,
Deliver us, good Lord.
Tie in a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
.Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to 'l'hee.
-G. K . Chesterton.

CHOOSE YE, THIS DAY
l
Once to ev'ry man and nati9n comes the moment to deci_de
In the strife of Truth with l~alsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new lHessiah, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
'
I
·1
Then _o side with Truth is noble when we share her wr!ltched crnst,
t
El'er her cause bring fame and profit and 'tis prosperous to be jnsl.
'fhen it· is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside,
And the multitudes make virtue of the faith they had denied.
New occasions teach new duties; time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth;
Lo, before us gleam her lamp-fires! we ourselves must pilgrims be,
Not· attempt the Future's portal with the Past's b,lood-rusted key.
- James nussell Lowell.
THE GOVERNMENT TO BE
(To the tune or "Allstria")
Tliro' the clamor and the riot
That is heard from sea to sea,
I can fee l the coming quiet
Of the government to be;
Vain the effort to dissemble
For the trnth is clear to all,
And the old conditions tren1ble
Like a rnin doomed to fall.
Vain the veiling and disguising
Of the evils which exist,
For new systems are uprising
From the wreckage and the mist;
And the mills of God are s lowl y
Surely grinding out their grist,
vVhile the laws of right and justice
Hold and evermore persist.
As the sun first tints the border
Of the darkness with his light,
So the faint far gleam of order
Gilds the chaos of the night;
And the dawn shall grow in splendor
To the fullness -0f the day
When the hands of greed surrend _r,
e
What from toil they tore away.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
