CREEDLESS LOVE,
or Prayer. 11 )
A creedless love that know s no clan,
\Ve think man cli1nbs a n endless slopeNo caste, no class, no cult but man;
Toward far-seen tablelands of hope ;
That deems today and now and here
That he, through filth and shame of sin
Arc voice nnd vl sio11 of the seer;
Still seeks th e God who speaks within;
Thnt through thi s lifted human clod
That all the years s ince tim e began
The inllow of the breath of God
• \Vork th e eternal Rise of !\Ian;
Still sheds its apostolic powers;
And all the days t hat tim e shall see
Such faith, such hope, such_love be ours.
Tend toward th e Eden yet to be.
(Music of u Swt"Cl Hour

t

Too\long our music-hungering needs
llave h eard the iron c las h of creeds.
The creecllcss lo~•e that know s no clan,
No caste, no c lass , no cult but man
Shall onward move ,,s mo\'es the s un,
And blend all hearts nnd faiths in one.
Such love with all it s quickening powers ,
Such love to Go el and man, be ours.
- Sain IValter Foss.

THE COMING TIME.
(Tune: u Grecn1nnd's Icy lHountains!')

And is the time approaching,
By wise men long foretold,
Wh en all shall dwell together,
United in one fold?
When all men shall be brothers
F'orsaking narrow creed,
And each for all do se rvice
,\ s ev' ry one hath need!

Shall Je,v and Gentile meeting
From many a distant shore,
Upon one common altar
Their common love outpour?
Shall all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like s hadows of th e morning
Before the bla ze of day?

Shall all that now unites us
!\-lore sweet and lasting proYe ,
A closer bond of 11nion,
In a blest land of love?
Shall war be learn'd no longer :
Shall strife and tumult cease ,
All ea rth a blessed kin g dom
Of harmony and peace?
-Ja11e Borthwick . .

February ·2s. - D11. C11 .. ... ES FI.EISCIIER,
whose "Sunday Commons" · arc 6 ,er..:j' enjoyed
by many of this audience, will speak for the first
•· time on . our platform, the subject he has chosen
being Bobbie Burns' contention that "A :rvlan's a
_
Ma11 for a' That." 'vVe have phrased it" Getting
to Be .IIim1an," but
that gives rio hint of the
stirring call to richer
human brotherhoocl
,vhich the address is
sure to embody.
'



March 3.-There arc to be two speakers, both
of whom, rather oddly, bear the honored name uf
Franklin (though they are in 110 way related), hail
from Colorado Springs, proudly declare themselves
loyal Baptists and strongly advocat~ Christian
Socialism. Jo11N Enny FnANKLIN is a milliollnaire eager to spend the money . he has marle in
spreading the doctrine which means so much to
him, He will discuss "7 he Appeal oj Soct'alism
to Christia1t People." Rnv. JA111n:s B, FnANKLIN,
D. D., was a pastor in Cripple Creek at the time
of the terrible .strike and labor troubles of 1903.
From that ~xperience and from his years of work
in Leadvil,e, the other great mining camp of
~olorado_,. he kn?ws inti1~rntely the clemoralizrng com)1t1ons which exploited workers are often
forced to face; yet he believes ,thal the Church
can greatly help in all this and in his address to
us he will present" The Jlllessage of Clzristianity
to Socialists."

New Yo!lc; ·whom we always hear gladly at Ford
Hall and whose eloquent and scholarly lectures on
social and ethical themes are clarion calls to
righteousness both in the body politic and in our
personal lives, will speak of" The Claim of the
Decalogue on the ivfodern ]\-fan.'' Here is an
addre~s you will not soon forget!

March 17, - No topic is more befo re us, this
winter, than the relation of the news paper to
things as they are - and things as they should be.
We shall be very glad, therefore, to be informed
by a successful publisher of an honest sheet,
JAMES ScuEn~m1u10nN of the Detroit Times,
concerning" The. Ethics of a J\ fe wspaper 1
