0 GOD OF EARTH AND ALTAR

(To th e music of "Webb")
0 God of earth and altar
From all that terror teaches,
li'rom li es or ton gue and pe n,
Bow down and h ear our cry,
From all th e easy s peeches
Our ea rthly rulers fall er,
Thal comfort cruel men,
Our people drift and die;
From sa le and profanation
'l'he walls of gold e ntomb us,
or honor and th e sword,
The swords of scorn divide,
From s lee p and from damnation,
Take not Thy thund e r from us,
Deliver us, good Lord.
But take away our pride.

'

\

'l'ie in a living tether
Th e pri es t and J)rinc e and thrall,
Bind all our Ii \'CS togeth e r,
Smite us and s av e us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame wilh faith, and fr ee,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword lo Th ee.
-0 . K. Chesterton.

THY KINGDOM COME!

"Thy kingdom come!" 0 Lord we daily cry,
Weary and sad wilh earth's long strife and }lain!
"How long, O Lord!" 'l'hy sutI'ring children sigh!
"Speed Thou the dawn, and o'er the nations r eign!"

I

Thy kingdom come! then all the din of war,
Like some dark dream, shall vani s h with th e night!
Peace, holy 11 eace, her myriad s girts shall pour,
Resting secure from dang e r and affright.

I

Thy kingdom come! no more shall dee ds of shame,
Brutish and ba se, deH troy th e soul divine:
Bright with Thy Joye's all-purifying flame
Thy human t e nq,les e vc rmore shall shine!

\

Thy kingdom come! mad g reed for wealth and power
No more shall grind the w eaklings in th e du st.
Th en mind and stren g th shall share Thy ampl e dow er,
Brothers in Thee, and one in etJual tru st.
- H. \V. Hawkes.

THE COMING TIME

And is the lime approaching,
By wise m en long foreto ld,
Wh e n all shall dwell toge th er,
United in one fold?
\Vh e n all men shall be brothe rs
li'orsaking nan:ow cree d,
And each for all do service
As ev'ry one hath need!

Shall J e w and Gentile, m ee ting
From many a di s tant shore,
Upon one common altar
Their common lov e outpour?
Shall all that now divides us
R e mov e and pass away,
Like shadows of th e morning
Before th e blaze of day?

\

\

Shall all that now unit es us
More sweet and lasting prove ,
A closer bond of union ,
In a bl es t land of love?
Shall war be learn'd no longer,
Shall strife and t umult cease,
All earth a blessed kingdom
Of harmony and Peace?
- Jane Borthwick.

THE MARCH OF FREEDOM

(To the music of "Marse illaise ).
Hark, hark, the peal of clarions callin g,
A host unnumb er ed marching by,
O' e r serried ranks lh e pe nnon s fallin g !
11 The hill s g ive back lhe balll e cry.

'Wh ence co111e y e , h e ro warriors, hitli'e r?
What lnnd , \\·hat nges, g nv e ye birlh

What laurel-wreaths thnt sha ll not with e r?
To arms lh e clarion s call ,
To deeds th e doing worth;
March on, 111arch on, till fr eedom dnwn,
And justi ce rnl e th e earlh i
Glory to God, the day is brenldng,
The lon g-a wnit ed golden 111orn !
Th e h e ro es dead who , self-forsaking,
·11 Ga,ve all lo hasten fr eedom's dawn.

As broth e rs , co mrad es, march bes id e us;
On, th e n, to conq 11 es t of th e world!

The dawn of lib erty!

October 13.-At the first Ford Hall Meeting
of th e l'vJovcm e nt's Sixth Season DH. T110MA S C.
HALL of New York, well k11 o wn as a highly
successful Cooper Union speaker, will giYe his
brilliant lecture," 'l'/1c ,1/orals of A11arc/1ism a11d
Socialism."
This subject is one upon which
many of u,; have ln11g been desiring more light and
we are, indeed, fortunat e in having Dr. Hall come
to clear · it up for us.

That Same EvenQ
ing Mn. J 011N OwrH,
who talk e d to us so
delightfully 1;1st year
about "Lisz t as a
Radical," will give us a " ,llusica l r.la(f .I.lour
witlt Schubert, C!wpin a11d Liszt. " Mr. Orth
is one of the mo st di stinguished of American
pianists and he is, besides, a man deeply in sympathy with these Meetings. The c01nbination of
Dr. Hall and John Orth should make this a Ford
Hall 'First Night long to be remembered.

.

October 20.-Do you rem embe r the evening
you went a way from here saying: '·That was the
grl'atest Bible lecture I e yer heard, one of the
greatest lectures of ally sort, indeed, that I eyer
heai·d"? The speaker ·was RABBI IlAn1us of
New York, wasn't it? At any rate, Dr. Harris
gave here, two years ago, a Bible lecture packed
with scholarship and so l.Jrilliant in thought that
some denominational papers printed it entire! Ile
it is who will now talk to us on '' The Functioll
of the J ew in the · IVorld's Ecuwmy." ,vhether
you are a Jew or a Gentile you'll want to !·. ear thi s
lecture and you will want, too, to hear our own
]Vlu. GuTTEHSON tell us, that same evening, of
"7'/,e Place of 1
ll11sic i11 the General E'ducation
of the I'eoj>le.. "
October 27.-PrtoF. vV A LTEB H.Au~ c 1rn:-111usc11,
who could not come to 11s at all la st year because
he was so dee ply occupied in the preparation of a
new book, will give ns the fruits of his long
period of retirement and research in a discussion
of "Christianity and Socialism: Their Larger
Parallels." Those who know Rauschenbusch are
anticipating this address with the most intense
eagerness. Our good friend, l'lln. KINGMAN, also,
will be on hand that· evening with his 'cello!
