THE GOVERNMEN-.-: TO
J
BE, .
(To "Austria")
Thro' the clamor and the riot ·
That is heard from sea to sea,
I can feel the coming quiet
Of the government to be ;
Vain the effort to dissemble
For the truth is clear to all,
And the old conditions tremble
Like a ruin doomed to foll.
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 slowly
Sllrely grinding out their grist,
While the lay(S of right and justice
Hold and evermore persist.
I
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 nigh(;
And the dawn ~hall grow irf splendor
To the fulness of the day
\Vhen. the lian:ds of greed surrender,
What from toll they tore away,
For the land to all was givenIt belongs to you and r'le;
'T is a law of earth and lieaven
Ilroken now from sea to sea.
L e t monopoly be driven
From the fortress of the free;
And let liberty bid welcome
To the governinent to be.
·
-Ella Whc,ler ll'ilco.,·.
WHAT
LIVE FOR.
I live for tho se who love me, whose hearts are warm and true,
For the heaven th:1t smiles above me and awaits my spirit too;
For human ties that bind me, for ta s ks my God assigned me,.
For bright hopes left be hind me, and the good that I can do.
-
I live to read their story who suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory and follow in their wake.
Tiards, patiiots, martyrs. sages, the noble of all ages,
Wh~se deeds crown 1
-list?ry's pages and Time's gr~.~t ,volume make.
I live to hail that season by gifted minds foretofd, •.
\Vh e n men shall live by reason and not alone by gold,
\ \1 li en each to each united and every wrong thing righted·,
The whole world shall be lighted as Eden was of old.
·
•
HARK, FOR THE ·HOUR IS COMING!'
Hark, for the hour is coming,
Lo, the burden shall be didded,
\Vhen your ears shall anoin led be,
And each ·shall know his own.
Aye! lis ten, 'tis rising and swelling,
And the royalty 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,
Shall no longer be less than gold,
And the circling spheres go swinging.
And never nn honest life
And singing it unto earth.
Into hopeless bondage sold.
For the song of the spheres is motion ;
And ;notion and toil are life,
And tl)e idle ~hall fafl_ a.nd falter,
And yield al the end of strife
As the stars tread path appointed
A,i'd the .sun gives forth his heat,
So 1l{e sons of men shall labor,
· Ere they rest in leisure's seat.
The.kings are to sel'\'e the people,
And wealth is lo ease the poor.
And learning to lift up the lowly
And &trength that lhe weak may endure
For we the people are waking
And low and high shall employ,
The splendid strength of union,
For liberty, life and joy .

December 3. ""- PRESIDENT SAMUEL C.
of the University of South Carolina will speak to us on "Rada/ Adjustment." Dr, Mitchell has made a life-study
of the race problem in _
the South and there
11 no m1m whose opinions on 'this subject are
more _
respected by both the blacks and the
wl,1ites. A Southerner by birth, he knows
the North also; he was ,for some time a
lecturer on history at -Brown University.
Incidentally, he is a wit; there will be noth. • ing d~y about his discussion · of this tre. '' mendous·question.
