0 God of earth and altar
From all that terror teaches,
From lies of topgue and pen,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
From all the easy speeches
Our people drift and die;
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
The walls of gold entomb us,
Of honor and the sword,
The swords of scorn divide,
From sleep and from damnation,
Take not Thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
Deliver us, good Lord.

(To the tune of "Austria")
Thro' the clamor and the riot
Vain the veiling and disguising
That is heard from sea to sea,
Of the evils which exist,
I can feel the coming quiet
For new systems are uprising
From the wreckage and the mist;
Of the government to be;
Va'ii1 the effort to dissemble
And the mills of God are slowly
Surely grinding out their grist,
For the truth is clear to all,.
And the old conditions tremble
While the Jaws of right and justice
Like a ruin doomed to fall.
Hold and evermore persist.
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 night;
And the dawn shall grow in splendor
To the fullness of the day
When the hands of greed surrender,
What from toil they tore away.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
THE CALL OF LIFE
Like stars upon a troubled sea
f'lhine out the altars fair,
Where longings of the centuries
Have voiced themselves in prayer.
A guide to tempted, wandering hearts,
A stren·gth in sorrow's hour,
A peace within the common lives
They touched with holy power.
.I ..
,!
We seek the good those altars held,
Yet read their message clear,
To loyalty recaiv"e the light
God sends us now and here.
Within these walls may worship fill
Our waiting souls anew. ·
A present help within our lives
To make them pure and true.
Eternal Life, whose love divine
Enfolds us each and all,
We know no other truth than thine,
We heed no other call.
0 may we serve in thought and deed
Thy kingdom yet to be,
When truth and righteousness and Jove
Shall lead all souls to thee.

THE MARCH OF FREEDOM
(To the music of "Marseillaise).
\
Hark, hark, the peal of clarions calling,
A host unnumbered marching by,
O'er serried ranks the pennons falling!
II The hills give back the battle cry. II
Whence come ye, hero warriors, hither?
What land, what ages, gave ye birth
What crave ye still of bleeding earth
What laurel-wreaths that shall not wither?
To arms the clarions call,
To deeds the doing worth;
March on, march on, till freedom dawn,
And justice rule the earth!
Glory to God, the day Is breaking,
The long-awaited golden morn!
The heroes dead who, self-forsaking,
II Gave all to hasten freedom's dawn;
II
As brothers, comrades, march beside us;
On, then, to conquest of the world!
Op., till our battle flags are furled
In freedom's peace, and God shall guide us.

They shall be gentle, brave and strong,
To spill no drop of blood, but dare
·All that may plant man's lord-ship firm,
On earth, and fire, and sea, and air.
Nation with nation, land with land,
Unarm'd shall live as comrades free;
In ev'ry heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity,
New arts shall bloom of loftier mould
And mightier music thrlil the sJdes,
And ev'ry life shall be a song,
When all the earth Is paradise.
These things .:....they are no dreams-shall be
For happier men when we are gone:
Those golden days for them shall dawn,
Transce'ndlng aught we gaze upon,

March 9.-PHoF. EARL BARNES of Philadelphia comes to give to us that address on "A Successful Failure: A Study of Robert Owen,"
with which he has often delighted the audiences
at Cooper Union and many similar audiences
elsewhere. Earl Barnes is one of the big platform
men of our time, a friend and comrade of Griggs
and Zueblin and like them both in his ability to
move and delight his hearers. We have long been
trying to get him on this platform, and the lessons
he draws from the struggles of Robert Owen, who
fifty years ago was striving to express a noble
ideal even as some of us are striving now, should
be a help and inspiration to us all.

March l6.-W1LLIA11r HARD of New York
will address us on '' The State and the Fatherless
Chz'ld." If you wish to know more particul11rly
the line this lecture will take look up in the current number of the American 111agaz hze Ray
Stannard Baker's charming sketch ·of Mrs. Clara
Cahill Park and the work she has done in Massachusetts towards pensioning the widowed m!)thers
of young children. Mr. Hard,-like Rabbi Wise
and Theodore Roqsevelt,-believes deeply in Mrs.
Park's bill; all his investigations bear out the
need and the humanity of the measure she advocates. And he is . a brilliant hard-headed New
York journalist. Come and talk this big question out!

of Haverhill who, more · than any other single
individual, contributed to sane and sound public
opinion at the time of the Lawrence strike,
addresses us, his subject being "Lessons from
Recent Industrial Outbreak.f." It was Mr. Van
der Py!, you will recall, who wrote that wonderful
article about these Meetings, which appeared in
the Traveler-Her ald earlier in the season. He
is a keen and sympathetic student ,of every form
of people's movement and came to know Ettor and
Giovanetti well during those months ._w hen they
languished in jail. He can tell us much of value
therefore, about their cause and similar causes i1;
other communities.
