THESE THINGS SHALL BE!

With flow'r of freedom in th e ir so uls ,
And light of science in th eir eyes.

To sp ill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant m an's Joru-ship firm,

Nation with nation, land with Ja nel,
Unarm'cl shall live as comrad es fr ee ;
In ev'ry h ea rt and brain shall throb
'fhe pulse of one frat ernity,
I
New arts shall bloom of loftier moulu
And mighti er mus ic thrill th e skies,
And ev'ry life shall b e a song,

These thin gs -tliey are no drea ms-shall be
For h appier m en wh en we are gone:
Those gold en clays for th em shall dawn,
Tran sce nding aught we gaze upon .

THE GOVERNMENT TO BE
('l'o the tun e of "Austria")
Th1•0' th e clamor and th e riot
As the s un first tints th e border
That is h ea rd form sea lo sea,
Of the darlm ess with his light,
I can feel the coming quie t
So the faint far gleam of order
Of \he government to be,
Gilds the chaos of the night ;
Vain th e effo rt to di ssem bl e
And Uie dawn shall grow in splendor
To lh e fulln ess of the day
For the truth is clear to all,
And the old conditions tre mbl e

THE LIVING WORD.
(Tune "Arlington")
In s ecret grove, on templ ed hill,
Tile sp irit s o[ the mighty dead,
J.11 living word and song,
The shrine is seen 110 more
:where priests may offer sacrifice
Proclaim the immortality
And dark libations pour.
·which cannot suffer "·rong;
For all the earth is holy ground
For cleath, transforming du s t to dust,
And oracles are heard
Has not in its control
The destiny o[ love and truth
Wherev er hearts with lire divine
Proclaim the living ,rni·d.
Embodied in th e soul.
~
The h e ro of the living word
May die by sword oi· flam e.
The author of the song of love
May wear a badge of shame.
But wh en th e ir hearts hav e passed iu
flame
Or mouldered in the grave,
The altars of the human race
Maintain the Ji[e th ey gave.
The spirits of the mighty dead
May- walk the earth again
And with the breath of trnth revive
The souls of common m en .
And down the Jong, long line of march,
The ir voices clear and strong,
Urge onward as we join with them
In Jiving word and song.
-Wm. W . Locke.
LEAD, KINDL Y LIGHT.
Lead, kindly Light, amid the' encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on;
Th e ni ght is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on;
K eep Thou my feet; I do not. ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor pray'd that Thou
Shouldst lead me qn;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
•
Lead Thou me on;
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride rnled my will; Remember not past years.
So long Thy pow'r has bless'd me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces· smile
Which I have loved long since and lost a -while!
-J. H. Newman .
THE MARCH OF FREEDOM
(To the music of "Marseillaise).
Hark, harlf, the peal of clarions calling,
Glory to God, the day is breaking,
A host unnumbP.red marching by,
'l'he long-awaited golden morn!
O'er serried ranks the pennons falling!
The h eroes dead who, self-forsaking,
II The hills give back the battle cry. II
II Gave all to hasten freedom's dawn.
II
_
Whence come ye, hero warriors, hither?
As brothers, comrades, march beside us;
What land, what. ages, gave ye birth
On, then, to conquest of the world!
What crave ye still of bleeding earth
On, till our battle flags are furled
What laurel-wreaths that shall not wither? In freedom's peace, and God shall guide us.
To arms the clarions call,
To deeds the doing worth;
March on, march on, till freedom dawn,
And justice rule the earth!
Ye mountains, clap your hands!
Exult, 0 sky and sea!
March on, march on! breaks over all lands
The dawn of libe1:ty!
-Charles Sprague Smith.

February 2.-Again we will welcome to
our platform that genial priest from the Theological Seminary at St. Paul, :tviinn., REV.
J011N A. RYAN, D. D.
On this occasion
Dr. Ryan, who has made a profound study of
the wage question, will talk to us on "The
Rig-ht aud IYroug· of the Labo1· Union."
That this is a subject in which Ford Hall
people are mightily interested one need only
to have heard the questioning of recent speakers
here to conclude. As a matter of fact no more
vital topic now confronts the American })e_ ple;
o
you will wish to hear what this speaker has to
say on it.
February 9.-EowAnD A. F1LRNE comes to us to discuss "7 he Growing· I'ai11s of Democracy." Mr. Filene is one of those rare souls who
believes in doing rather than in talking (he is so averse to personal publicity that we cannot here show his photograph as is our custom), but no man
who tries to do in these days can fail to be confronted by certain arresting
facts. Some of these have so· deeply impressed themselves upon Boston's
most public-spirited merchant that he <lesires to call them to your attention.
February 9 with be a significant evening at Ford Hall.
February 16.-STEWART ANimnsoN of
Springfield, :tvlass., will talk to us on "As An
Immigrant Sees It." These will be firsthand impressions, t_oo, for Anderson was a
poor lad when he came to this country, not so
very many years ago, and he frns rise11 to a
position of influence in his co_
mmunity through
his own efforts. He will· tell' us why America
seems a promised land to the stranger from
o'erseas-and the degree to which it fulfils its
promise.
