B"-TTLE HYMN

OF

WOMEN

.,
-'

..I

Oh, their dreams shall grow in splendor
Till each s leeper wakes and stirs,
Till she breaks from old traditions nnd
is free.
And th e world shall rise and render
Unto \Voman what is hers,
And welcom e in th e race thnt is to be.

They are waking in the c ity, ·
Th ey are waking on the farm,
They are waking in the boudoir and
th e mill;
And th eir hearts are full of pity
As they so und the loud alarm
·To the s leepers who in darkness slumber still.

!

!

They are waking, waking, waking,
In the East a nd in the We t;
They are throwing wide the windows
to tlrn sun;
And they see the dawn is breaking, .
And th ey quiver with unres t,
For th ey know their work is waiting
lo be done.

Unto " 'o man, God the !\faker
Gave th e secret of His plan;
·
It is wi-itte n out in cipher on her sou l.
From the darkness you must take her,
To the li g ht of clay, 0 Man I
\Vould you know the mighty meaning
of the scro ll .

In the guarded harem prison,
Where th ey s moth er under veils,
And aH echo es of the world are walled
away,
Though tl1e sun has not yet risen,
Yet the ancient darkne ss pales,
And · the sleepers. in their slumber
dream of day.

CHORUS:

Joy, joy, joy, they nre awaking, ·
They are com ing to the light.
Let us each do all we can
For the Brotherhoo d of Man . ,
And for \VoMAN s truggling upward
Out of night .
-Ella Wheeler Wilco.~. .

CHOOSE YE, THIS

DAY.

Once to ev 'ry mrin and nation comes the moment tci decide
In the strife of 'Truth with ·Falsehood, £.cir the ·good o r c\'1/ s'fde;
Some great cause, God's new Messia h, offering each the bloom or bllght,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkn ess and that light,
.

,tit11

Then t ~ sid~
Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust; ·
E'e r her cause bring fame and profit and ' tis pro s perous to .be· just. .. '
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, .. ·.. · ..•
And the multitudes make vii-tue of the faith they hnd tle'i1i'ed. ,
, ··•·..

'

New occasions leac h new duties; time m~kes anci~nt g- ~~I 11n~out'1;·/ r~ , , ..
o
They must upward st ill and onward who would Jceep abreast of truth I · ';,
Lo, before us gleam her lamp-fires! we ourselves must pllgrimR he,
Nor attempt th e Futurt!'s portal with the r:ast's blood-rusted key.
•t
-James Rtmel/Low,11.

HYMN

OF THE TOILERS,
(To ' ·Italy")

./

I

0 nation strong and g reat
For thine own honor's sake
Hear thou our call;
\Ve are thy children . too,
From year to year we grew.
Silent and patient lhro'
Darkness nnd toil,

Out from the de pths of crltne
We've tri ed in vain to climb
Where nothing lee.I;
When life and justice askcil
Still further down were cast,
E'en sobs were hu s hed nt Inst
And hope ~eemed denc.l.
But now, 0 nation stro ng
To thee must truth belong,
· Crown thou th e right;
\Ve are thv c hildren s till
Wm·king ~vith might and will
Ne'er resting till we fill
The world ,vith light.

December .11.-Are we not forhmate to
be promised tlie presence, on New Year's
Eve, of RABBI STEPHEN S. W1sE of New
York? His talk bids fair to fit the season
too, for he is to speak on the topid
"J,Vimted: A kloral Renaissance." Since
Dr. Wise on the mildest of°subjects is likely
to administer a salutary ethical shock to his
he~rers, we may fairly enough expect a
untqucly arousing and arresting acldrei;,s with
such a New Year's text as this at his service.

January 7.-Non!IIAN. HArc.ooi>, editor
. of Collier's fVeekly, whose lecture, lai;,t
season, on " The Social Functi'1,n of the
Press" brought to us so much of stimulus
and information, will again be our ~peaker,
his topic this time being "The Significance
·· · of Insurgency." Political movements and
social ideals are not so far apart in these
days as some would have us think and there
is probably no man in the country better
able than Mr. Hapgood to interpret the
· Insurgent Spirit of our time in terms of
social progress.

an.cl Miss LEONORA O'REILLY will discuss
The J,Vorking Woman and the State."
Mrs. Evans is a member of the Minimum
Wage Commission, 'whose report, soon to
be published, will bring out the shocking
discrt·pancy . which exists in Massachusetts
between the weekly cost of decent living and
the wages paid to many working women.
Miss O'Reilly is an organizer for the New
York Women's . Trade Union League and
knows herself, from having felt it in the past,
what it is to be an exploited woman-worker.
A great opportunity to learn facts about a
question of vital public interest.

WrLLIAM T. ELLIS of
Philadelphia, who has been several times
around the world for the purpose of investigating, as a journalist, the social, religious
and political conditions of countries which
contribute largely to our immigrant population, will speak on "America's Injluence
Upon the Older Nations." We all know
somewhat the immigrant here, but Mr. Ellis
will tell us how American money and
American ideals react upon the far-away
home which that immigrant has left behind
him. A highly interesting aspect of the_
