October :29.-Dn. ALnERT E. Wrnsmr,
the well-known educator, will be the speaker
and the topic he has chosen is "Eliminat- ·
ing the I:foodlttm Element Amo-nrr Boys."
Dr. Winship has for a quarter of a century
edited the Journal of Education, a publication particularly interesting to a Ford Hall
audience, because it is the sheet through
which Mr. Coleman made his entrance into
journalism. An additional feature of great
interest, on this evening, will b~ the lecturerecital by Mr. John Orth on "Liszt as a
Radical" - personal rem1111scences, with
piano illu strations of the great musician whose centenary is now being
observed.
BATTLE HYMN OF
Th ey itre waking, wakin g , waking,
In th e East and in the W es t;
They are thro wing wide the windows

And they see tl1e dawn is breaking,
And th ey quiver with unres t,
For th ey kn ow th eir w<;>rk , is waiting

They are waking in th e city,
T,hey are waking on the farm,
They are waking in the boudoir and
the mill;
And th eir hearts are full of pity
As th.e y sound the loud alarm
T o the s let•pers who in darknes s _

In th e guarded harem pri son,
Wh ere they smother under veils,
And all ech o~s ~f the world are walled

Though the sun has not ye Cri sen,
Y e t the an cient darkn ess pal es,

WOMEN

Oh, their dream s s hall g row in splendor
Till each sl ee per wakes and s ti rs ,
Till s he breaks from old traditions and
is free.
And th e world shall rise and 'render
· Unto Woman what is hers,
And.we lcom e in th e race th at is lo be .
Unto \-Voman, God the Maker
Gave the secret of His· plan;
It is written out in cipher on h er soul.
From the darkness you must take her.,
To the light of day, 0 Man I
\-Vould you know the mi g hty meaning
of the sc roll.
CHORU S :

Joy, joy, joy, th ey are awaking,
Th ey are comin g lo the light.
L et us each do all we ca n
For th e Brotherhood of Man
And for \-VoMAN struggling upward
·Out of night.

O God of c'nrth nnd nltnr

Bow down nnd hear our·cry,
Our earthly rulcra falter, ·
Our people drift nnd die;
The walle of gold 4;nto111b us,
1'ho ,words of scorn divide,
Tnkc not Thy thunder from us,
. But tnkc awny'our pride.

From nil thnt terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From 1111 the easy speeches
-, Thnt comfort cruel men,
From snle and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord .
.. T&f n a living tether
"'T11e priest nnd prince nnd thrall,
, Ulnd nil onr lives together,
Smite us nnd save us nil;
In Ire nnd exultation
Allume ,vith faith, nnd free,
Lift up n living natidn,
A single sword to Thee.

O, BEAUTIFUL MY COUNTRY!
0, bcnutlful my country I
For thee our fathers suffer\!;
Uc thine a nobler cnre
For thee they toil'd and prny'd.;
Than nil thy wenlth of commerce
Upon thy holy altar
Thy hnrvests wnvlng fuir;
Their willing lives they laid;
no It thy pride to lift up
Thou hast nc, common birthright,
The mnnhood of the-poor;
Gi-and memories on thee shine,
De thou to the oppressed
The blood of pilgrim nations
Fnlr freedom's open door.
Commit'lgled flows in thine.
0, hcnutlful our country!
'Round thee in love we draw;
Thine he the grace. of freedom,
The !1111jesty of law,

De ri[l'hteouM1ess thy scepter,
Justice ·thy diadem;
And on thy shining forehead
Be peace the crown _ng gem!

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
0 beautiful for spaclou!J skies,
0 beautiful for glorious tale
For amber wa-.es ·of grain,
Of liberating strife,
For. purple mountain majesties
,vhen valiantly for man's avail,
Above the fruited plain!
l\len lavished precious life!
America ! America!
America! America!
God shed His grace on 'thee,
!\fay God thy gold refine,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
Till all success be nobleness,
From sea to shining sea!
And ev'ry gain divine!

0 beautiful for pilgrim feet,
,v110se stern, impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America I America !
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
HOME,

0 beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America ! America !
God shed His grace on Thee,
And crown thy good with brotl;erhood
From sea to shining sea! ·

SWEET

HOME

'l\Hd pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home .
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us 1he1·e,
\Vhich, seek thro' the world, · is ne'er met with
elsewhere.
I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my rnother now thinks of her child;
As she looks on that moon from ·out· own cottage
door,
Thro' the woodbine whose fragrance shall cheer
me no more .

An exile from hoine, splendor dazzl es in vain,
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage ngnin;
The birds siriging gaily, that came nt my call;
Give me them, and that peace of mind, dearer
than all.
Home, home, S\\;eet, sweet home,
There's no pince like home,
Oh, there's no place like home.
-Jo/111 I-lowanl Pay,lc.
HARK, FO~ THE HOUR IS COMING!
Hark, for the hour is coming,
Lo, the burden shall be diddecl,
\Vhen your ears shall anoinlecl be,
And each shall know his nwn.
Aye! li sten, 'tis rising and swelling,
· And the royal ti of manhood
O'er populous land and sea,
Shall more than crown or throne,
The morning stars began it
And the flesh and blood of toilers
At the dawn'of creation's birth,
Siu\11 no longer be less than gold,
And the circling spheres go swinging
And never an honest life
And singing it pnto earth.
Into hopeless' bondage sold.

For the so ng of the s pheres is motion'
And motion and toil are life,
And the idle s hall fail and falter,
And yield al th e encl of strife
As the s tars tread path appointed
And the s un gives forth his heat,
So th e sons of men shall labor,
Ere they rest in leisure's seat.

·The kings are to serve lh e people,
And wealth is to ease the poor .
And learning to lift up the lowly
And strength that the weak may endure
For we the people are waking
And low and high shall employ,
The s plendid strength of union,
For liberty, life and joy.
