When wilt Thou save th e people ?

God sav e th e people.

Shall crime bring crim e for e ver,
Stre11glh aiding s till th e s trong?

'l'hat m en shall toil !'or wron g '?
'•No!" s ay th e mountain s ; "No! " the skies;
"i\lnn's r. loud ed sun shall bri:;htly rise,
And son gs be heard in s tead of sighs."
God sn ve the peopl e.

Wh en wilt Thou sav e th e 1i eopl e ?
0 God of m ercy , wh en ?

Thy children, a s Thy ange ls fair,
Sav e the111 from bondage and des pair.
God save th e peopl e.

0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR

(To the music of "Webb")
From all that te rror teaches,
From lies
tongue and pen,
From all the easy speech e s
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Ot honor and the sword.
From slee p and from clRmnatlon
Deliver us, good Lord .

0 God of earth and altar
Bow down and b ear our cry,
Our earthly rulern faller,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb lJB,
The eworde of acorn divf'de,
Take not Thy thunder from ue ,
But take away our pride.

of

Tie In a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall.
Bind all our lives tog e th e r,
Smite us and ea ve us all :
In Ire and exultation
Aflame with faith. and fr ee.
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to Thee.
- G IC Ch e st e rton .

HARK, FOR THE HOUR IS COMING

O hark, for th e ho ur is comin g,
Wh e n your ea rs sh a ll a nointed be,
Aye, liste n, 'tis ri sing and sw ellin g,
O' er populous land and s ea ,
Th e mornin g stars began it
At th e dawn of creation 's birth,
And th e circ lin g s pheres go s win ging
And sing in g it unto earth .

Lo , the bnrd en s hall be divid e d,
And each shall know hi s own.
And th e royalty of manhood
Shall be more than crown or thron e.
And the fl e sh and blood of toil ers
Shall no longer b e le ss than gold,
And n ever a n hon est life shall be
Into hop eless bond age s old.

For th e song of th e s ph er es is motion,
And moti on and t oil a r e life.
And th e idl e sh a ll fail and falt er,
And yield a t th e end of strHe,
As th e stars trea d forth a11pointed
And t.h e snn g i ves forth hi s h eat,
So th e sons of m e n s hall labor
Ere th ey r es t in honor 's s eat.

JANUARY 17.-Rev. JOHN HAYNES I-loLl\rnS
of New York will speak on the topic, "From A/>solnle 1
1/011arc/1y Lo Pure Democracy in lndus/JJ'.'' :tvI r.
Holmes is a Bostonian by birth, as we are always
proud to r e member , a nd h e is perhaps as radical a
mini s ter as ever com es to our platform. Some of
the mos t stirring utterances eve r offered at Ford
Hall have occ mTed during· previous talks of his
and it is safe to say th at, speaking on a topic
h aving so much of dynamite in it as the one he has
chosen for this year's visit, lvlr. Holmes will g ive
us all co ns idera bl e food for thou gh t.
JANUARY 24, -Rev . J o 11 N \V. Ross of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, N. Y., will discuss
'' !1/odern S hi/ i s in E11tj}liasis.'' One of th ese shifts
in c hurch ,vork is from th e prayer meeti ng to th e
Forum, and about thi s 'M r. Ross is very well
equippeQ1 to speak because h e ha s been carrying
on a regular Fon1 Hall l\i[ceting in his church
for ne a rly two years n ow. :M r. Coleman helped
to start this Fornm a nd almost all the speakers
whom th ey h ave had are men wh o h ave se vera l
times been h earc1 on our platform. It should be a
point of pride with Ford Hall folks to turn out in
particularly large numbers to g1:eet 1v[r. Ross and
to1show him how splendid this moth er Fornm in
Boston'can be.

JANUARY 31. -Prof. 'iVALT ER RAUSCHENIIUSCH,
wh om our people a lways h ear with deep joy and
keenest appreciation, comes to us again. Dr.
Rnuschenbusch a lways keeps his feet on the
grou nd though gen era lly r ecogni zed to be one of
the Seers and Prophets of our time. His address
on '' The L'cono11tic Basis {>/ DemocralJ''' will undoubtedly be a real contribution to sociological
knowledge and valuable as an interpretation of
som e recent industrial trends.
