THESE THINGS SHALL BEi

These things shall be! a loftier race
Nation with nation, land with land,
Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise;
Unarm'd shall live as comrades free;
With flow'r of freedom In their souls,
In ev'ry heart and brain shall throb
And light of science In their eyes.
The pulse of one fraternity,
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.

New arts shall bloom of loftier mould
And mightier music thrill the sides,
And ev'ry ilte shall be a song,
Wh en all the earth Is paradise.

These things -they are no dreams-shall be
For happier men when we are gone:
Those golden days for th e m shall dawn,
Transcending aught we gaze upon.
-John Addington Symonds.
O GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR

(To the music of "Webb")
0 God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not Thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.

From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord.

Tie In a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In Ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to Thee.
-G. K. Chest!lrton.

THE GOVERNMENT TO BE

(To the tune of "Austria")
Thro' th e clamor and the riot
As the sun first tints the border
That Is heard form sea LC sea,
Of the darkness with his light,
I can fe el the coming qui et
So the faint far gleam of order
Of the government to be.
Gilds the chaos of the night;
Vain the effort to · diss emble
And the dawn shall grow in splendor
For the truth ls clear to all,
To th e fulln ess of the day
And the old conditions tremble
When th e hands of greed surrender,
Like a ruin doom ed to fall. .
What from toll they tore away.
Vain the veiling and disguising
Of the evils which exist,
For new systems are uprising
From th e wreckage and the mist;
And the mills of God are slowly
Surely grinding out their grist,
While the laws of right and justice
Hold and eve rmore persist.

For th e land to all was givenIt belongs to you and me;
'Tis a law of earth and heaven
Broken now from sea to sea.
Let monopoly be driven
From the fortress of the free;
And let lib erty bid welcome
To th e government to be.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

JANUARY 18.-BJsHoP WILLIAMS comes to us
again and, this time, he will present that subject so
dear to his heart,-The Single Tax.

Busy as this

man always is with the heavy duties of his high
office, it is said that he is always willing to give up a
free evening to the discussion of this doctrine of
Henry George.

In" Why I Work for the Single

Ta,,;" he will tell us his point of view concerning this
favorite "side line" of his.

JANUARY. 25.-ALIHON Woonnunv SMALL, Dean of the Graduate School '
of Arts and Literature at the University of Chicago, President of the American · 1
Sociological Society and author of that very interesting socialistic nO(el,
"Between Eras,'' will discuss "The Stren(!th and Weakness of Socia/is,\."
Dr. Small is a Maine man who has made a great name for himself in his chosen
field of scholarship besides being a Baptist of that splendid type we have seen
exemplified in Shailer Mathews, Allyn Foster and Rauschenbusch. We may
count on him to give us as worth w~ile an evening as we have had in a long time.

FEBRUARY I .-ALEXANDER IRVINE is expected
to be with us again.

It has not yet been fully settled

upon what topic he will address us, but this does not
matter inasmuch as Irvine is always-Irvine.

Just

at present this unique Socialistic parson is travelling
about the country acting in a sketcl1 written by himself and playing a par!_ "Yhich 9e_picts his own ministerial experiences. It will be interesting to hear his
views as to how far drama has a "social function!""
