0 YE WHO DARE GO FORTH.

0 ye who dare go forth with God
Behold his flag unfurl ed;
And hea r his trumpe t's challenge ring
Across th e answ e ring world:
For his great war with sin and s ham e,
Though coward hearts refuseGo draw th e sword lhal in His nam e
You s hall find slre nglh lo use.

The bitter voice goes up to God
From the dark house of shame;
'Mid iron wheels of driving toil,
And from the men. they maini;
From every stricken child who lies
In some foul :·'.lonl and drear;
F'rom those who walk with sodden eyes,
'fo whom no hope comes near .

The citad els He bids you s torm
Are wall ed wilh ancient wrong;
The foes He bids you shock against
Are insolent and strong;
Where fleshly lusts and greed for gain
i\'lake dens for souls to di e ; For rescu e from that poisoned pain
The bitter voices cry.

When sordidness and pain and sin
· Ci·y for th' avenging sword;
Where selfish ease and indolence
Call for the biazmg word;
There God's clear trump e t summons those
Who dare to face the wrong,
And launch against His spirit's foes
The strength wh_
ich He makes strong.
-W. Russell Bowle.

TEACH

US

TRUE

BROTHERHOOD.

Teach us, 0 Lord, tru e broth erhood
In daily thought and deed,
That we ma y tread with humble heart
Th e path wh ere Thou dm;t lead.

Cast from our hearts, 0 Lord of life,
Our selfishness and pride,
Help us to choose the toiler's part,
And suner by his side .

Help us to spurn a life of ease,
While broth ers labor lon g
In mill and mart Lo give us bread,
And labor without song.

Give us the courage, Lord, to fight
With Th ee all greed of gold,
To tight until Thy kingdom's won ,
Thy kingdom long foretold.

Love then shall r e ign supreme o'er all,
O'e r hea rt and mind and hand,
Eternal lov e and brotherhood
Ju all this storm-tossed land .
-Marion Dutton Sa rnge.

YE NATIONS!

Hear, hear, O ye Nations, and hearing obey
The cry from the past and the ,call of today!
:
Earth weari es and wastes with her fresh life outpoured,
The glut of the cannon, the SP?i,l of the sword.
Lo, dawns the new era, transcending the old,
The poet's rapt vision, by prophet foretold!
From War's grim tradition it maketh appeal
To servfce of all In a world's commonweal.
Home, altar and school, the mill and the mart,
The workers afi eld, in science, in art,
Peace-circled and sheltered, shall join to create
The manifold life of the flrm-bullded State.
Then, th en shall the em pire of right over wrong
Be shield t.o tlfe weak and a curb to the strong;
'l'hen _
justice prevail and, the battle-flags fur led,
The High Court of Nations give Jaw to the world.
And thou, O my Country, from many made one,
· · Last-born of the nations, at morning thy sun,
Arise to the place thou art given to fill,
And ieii"c( the world-tr! umph of peace and good-will!
-Frederick L . Hosmer.

experience in dealing with th e socia l evil s of o ur
time, s ince the clays whe n h e was a coll ege s t11d ent

any m an who h as ever bee n on our pla tfo rm to tell
us wherein our present civili zat ion fails of being
truly Chri s ti an . For over a year now we have
been trying to make a date with him in order to
get hi s m essage; we are sure h e will give u s so methin g we ll worth bearing in thi s Sunday-bcforeChristmas address.
DECEMBER 27 . - PROF. C H ARLES ZuEBLIN ,
one of our best a nd most cherished friends, will

ni g ht during the h oliday season . The crowds th a t
always tHrn out on thi s occasion te s tify eloq ue ntly
to F ord Hall's appreciation of his ge n eros it y. His
admirers will undoubtedly be on hand in just as
large numbers as e ve r , for this lecture c,n ' /1/di!an cy and 11/ora /s. ''

m a n' s a m a n fo r a' that'' and hi s New Year's
message , lik e every message he puts out, will b e
fnll of s ym pathy with the problems and th e burdens
of th e worke rs. Yet hi s talk will ring, too,
