For amber waves of gram,
For 1rnrple mountain majeslies

And crown. thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

THE DAY OF THE PEOPLE IS DAWNING.
\\'e
For
But
And
(To the mu sic of "Lyon s")
kn e lt be lore kings; we bent belore lords;
th eirs were th e crowns, and theirs were th e swords.:
th e tim es of th e bending and bowing are vast,
th e day of the 11eovle is dawning at last.
We cringed be fore gold; we deifie d wealth;
We laid on Its altar the life and the he alth
Of manhood and womanhood, childhood and youth:
But its lordship is doomed in this day of the trnth .
The strength o[ the Stale we'll lavish on more
'fhan making of wealth and making of war;
We are learning at last, though th e lesso n comes late,
That th e making of man is th e task of the :::Hate.
Great Day of J ehovah, vrovhets and seers
Have s ung or thy coming for thou sands of years;
Thank God for each sign that the dark night is past;
And the clay of the people is dawning at last!
- ,Villiam Pearson l\'lerrill.
0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR
(To the music of "Webb")
From all that terror teaches,
O God or earth and altar
From Ilea of tongue and pen,
Bow down and hear our cry,
From all the easy speeches
Our earthly rulers falter,
That comfort crnel men,
Our people drift and die;
From sale and profanation
The walls of gold entomb ue,
The swords of acorn divide,
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Take not Thy thunder from 11e.
But take away our pride.
Deliver ue, good Lord .
Tie In a living tether
The priest and prince and thrall,
· Bind all our lives together,
Smite ue and save ue all;
In Ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A elngle sword to Thee.
- G. K. Chesterton.
HAIL THE GLORIOUS GOLDEN Cl1Y
(To l he mu sic of "J\ us(ria")
We are builders of that city;
All our joys and all our groans
Help to r ear its shining ramparts;
All our lives are building stones:
Whether humble · or exalted,
All are called to task divine;
All must aid alike to carry
Forward one sublime design.
Hail the g lorious Golden City,
Pictured by th e seers of old!
Everlasting light shines o'er It,
,vo1idrous tal es of It ar e told:
Only righteo us m en and wom en
Dwell within its glea ming wall;
Wrong is banished fro1n its bord ers,
Justice reigns supreme o'er all.
And the work that we have bullded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears,
Ancl In error and In anguish,
Will not perish with our years;
It will last and shine transfigured
In the final r eign of Right
It will merge into the splendors
Of the City of the Light.
-Felix Adler, 1909.

FEBRUARY 28,-PETER Wrn, Commissioner
of Public ·works in Cleveland, Ohio, will appear
for the first time on our platform. It will be remembered that Mr. Ross of Buffalo r ece ntly
r e fe rred with the utmost enthusiasm to Peter
\\T s g ifts as a speaker, declaring that he
itt'
possesses spiritual fervor in so marked a degree
that, in o ne year no less than eighteen churches of
Buffalo were g lad to welcome him to their pulpits.
:M r. \\Titt was one of Tom Johnson's most trnstecl
lieute nants and, since :tvlr. Johnson' s death, has
carried on m a ny of the reforms dear to the heart
of that g reat a nd good man . One of these reforms
brou ght a three-cent car fare to Cleveland and of
this and allied movements Mr. \Vitt will tell us in
his lec ture, '' A Citv Findill{r Itself. ''
I '
MARCH 7 ,-RAnnr SAMUEL ScHULi\lAN of New
York, the first man who ever drew what might be
called a good audience to a Forcl Hall Meeting,
will speak on" f,Jl/ial Co11slil11/esa e,·oodJew." Dr.
Schulman's first lecture h e re was an extraordinary
mass ing of th e social and intellectual achievements
of this chosen people and a passionate arraignment
of the unju st attitude many otherwise fair -minded
folk assume towards Jews . \,Ve may fairly expect ,
a similarly stirring address wh en he comes to us
on :M arch 7.
,..
MARCH 14.-JoHN SPARGO, who first became
known in England when, at the outbreak of the
Boer War, he protested publicly against England's
stand in that famous contest, will come down from
his present home among the hills of Vermont to
talk to us on "Socialism aud 11,e T/lar." 1vir.
Spargo is one of the most engaging speakers in
the socialists' ranks, a man whose gentleness and
sweetness always make friends for him, whether
one accepts his economic doctrines or not . The
Spargo night should be a big night at Ford Hall.

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 eworde of acorn divf'de,
Take not Thy thunder from ue ,
But take away our pride.

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.

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.

�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.

HEAR, HEAR, 0
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!

THE DAY OF THE PEOPLE IS DAWNING.
We
For
But
And
kn e lt before kings; we bent before lords;
theirs were the crowns, and theirs were the swords:
the times of the bending and bowing are vast,
the day of the people is dawning at, last.
We cringed bei'orn go ld; we deified wealth;
\Ve laid on its altar the lire and the health
Of manhood and womanhood, childhood and youth:
B ut its lordship is doom ed in this day of the truth.
The strength o[ the Slate we'll lav ish on mor e
'I han m al1i ng of wealth and making of war;
\V e are lea rnin g at last, though the lesso n comes late,
That th e making o[ man is the task of the State.
Great Day of Jehovah, proph ets a nd seers
Have sung of thy coming [or thousands of years;
Thank God for each sign that t he dark ni ght is past;

Thy kingdom come, \J Lorrl,
Wide-cil'cling as th e sun;

Of Jove and equity.

"ONCE TO EVERY MAN AND NATION."
Once to e Yery man and nalion
Comes the mom e nt to de cide,
111 th e strife of trnth witli fal se hood,
For the gco d or ev il side;
Some g r ea t cause, God 's n ew Messiah,
Off'ring each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'l'wixt that darkn ess and that li i ht.
Th en to side with truth is noble,
\Vh en . we_.,s hare h er wretch ed crust,
Ere h er c:1tts~ bring fame and profit,
And ' tis pros]lerous to be just;
1 h e n i t is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside
'I'll! the multitud e make virtue
Of the faith they had deni ed .
Though th e caus e of evil pros]ler,
Yet 'ti's truth alone is strong;
Though h er portion be th e scaffold,
And u11on the throne be wroug,Yet th at scaffold sways the fntnre,
And,. behind the dim 1111lmow11,
Stancleth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own.
- James Husnell Lowell, 1845.

NOVEMBER 8,-IvIARGARET SLATTERV, who
made an immediate and pronounced success when
she, last year, appeared on our platform for the
first time, will talk to us on "Energy- Uudirccled
and /lfisdircct('d '' There is probably no woman in
America today \.vho touches so many lives intimately as does ·M iss Slattery. For she writes many
books, besides giving many lectures, and she has
the rare g ift of making noble character and hi g h
ideals attractive. She liked the Ford Hall folks
last year just as much as they liked her. So we
sl~all have a good timl! the evening of her address.
NOVEMBER 15.-DR. JOHN LOVEJOY ELLIOTT
11
of New York will discuss T/ie Cltild and Ilic City.''
Thi s mass meeting consideration of a c hild-welfare
topic comes as the climax of a week:'s convention
in whi ch every phase of child life h as b ee n treated
by experts, - - the convention of the American
,\ssociation for the Study and Prevention of Infant
i\fortality. Ford Hall is very g lad to give an
evcni11g to the interests of this organization and
feels itself especially fortunate in having secured
so fascinating a speaker for the occasion as Dr.
l~lliott, a man who has given his life to construeti vc work for the health and happine ss of children
in a great city.
NOVEMBER 22.-LESLIE WILLIS SP!!A(:UE
of Chicago will address us on the topic, '' /·Viii
Democracy Eudure?'' Some good Ford Hall folks
are still talking about that wonderful address on
Tolstoi which 1vfr. Sprague gave us last year.
They will need no persuasion to come to Ford
Hall in order to hear him discuss the outlook for
Democracy. Mr. Sprague is now at the h ead
of a big institutional church in Chicago and is
working side by side in civic matters with one of
the most remarkable groups of democrats (note the
small d) in the whole world. He should be able
to speak with authority on the topic he has chosen.

0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR
(To the music of "Webb")
0 God of earth and a ltar
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 thund er from us,
But take aw a y our pride.
l~rom all that te rror L
eaches,
From lies of tongue and peu,
From all th e easy speeches
That comfort cru el men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and theswo~,
From slee p and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord.
Ti e in a living tether
The pri est and prince and thrall,
Bind all our liv es togeth er,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflam e with faith, and free,
Lif t up a living nation,
A s ingl e sword to Thee.
- G. IC Chesterton.

�Nation with nation, land with land,
These things shall be! a loftier race
Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise;
Unarm'd shall live as comrades free;
In ev'ry heart and brain shall throb
With flow'r of freedom In their souls,
Th e pulse of one fraternity,
And light of science in their eyes.
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 skies,
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, ·
Tran~cending aught we gaze upon.
-John Addington Symonds.

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
0 beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
0 beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in Ia w !
THE
ha1·k, the peal of clarions calling,
aerrled ranks the ·pennons falling!
hllls give back the battle cry.
e come ye, hero warriors, hither?
t land, what ages, gave ye birth?
I crave ye still of bleeding earth,
laurel-wreaths that shall not wither?
on, march on, till freedom dawn,

As brothers, comrades, march beside us;
On, th en, to conquest of the world!
On, till our battle flags are furled

The dawn of liberty!

ADDRESS, "The Economic Aspects of ·w oman Suffrage"
-John Cowper Powys of Englano
HYMN, "The March of Freedom"
QUESTIONS FROJII TI-IE FLOOR
HARK, FOR THE HOUR IS COMING
0 hark, l:or the hour is corning,
For the song of the spheres is motion,
When your ears shall a nointed be,
And motion nnd toll are life.
Aye, listen, 'tis rising and swelling,
And th e idle shall fail and falter,
O'er populous land and sea,
And yi eld at the end of strife,
The morning stars began it
As the stars tread forth appointed
At the dawn of creation's birth,
And the sun gives forth his heat,
And the circling spheres go swinging
So the sons of men shall labor
And singing It unto earth.
Ere they rest In honor's seat.
And earth shall forget her groaning,
And Kings are to serve the people,
And learn the song of the spheres
And wealth Is to ease the poor,
And the tired shall sing that are moaning
And learning to lift up the lowly
And the sad 1,hall dry their t ears.
And strength that the weak may endur
Lo, the burde n shall be divid ed,
And each shall know his own.
And the royalty of manhood
Shall be more than crown or throne.
And the flesh and blC>od of toilers
Shall no longer be less than gold,
And never an honest life shall be
Into hopeless bondage sold.
For ,ve the people are waking
And high and low shall employ
The spl endid strength of union,
For liberty, life and joy.

Unarm'd shall live as comrades free;

With flow'r of freedom In their souls,
The pulse of one fraternity.
And light of science In their eyes.
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.

And mightier music thrill the skies,
And ev'ry life shall be a song,
When all the earth Is paradise.

lu ting llght shines o'e1 it,
:
oridrous tales of it are told:
righteous men and women
ell within its gleaming wall;
la banished from its borders,
Ice reigns supreme o'er all.
And the work that we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears,
And in error and in anguish,
Will not perish with our yea rs;
It will las t and shine transfi g ured
. In the final reign of Right
rt will m erge into th e splendors
or the City of the Light.
-Felix Adler, 1909.

OGod ot earth and altar
From all that terror teaches,
Bow down and hear Olli' cry,
F'rom li es of tongue and pen,
Our earthly rulers falter,
From all th e ea sy speeches
Our people drift ancl die;
That corn fort cru e l wen,
Tbe walls of gold entomb us,
li'rom sal e and profanation
The 6\l'Orcls of scorn divide.
Of .honor and the sword,
ke not Thy thund e r from us ,
li'rom slee p and from damnation,
BuJ take a, way ou, pride.
Deliver us, good Lord.
Tie hi a living tether
ThP. pri es t and prince and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;

Aflame with faith, and tree,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to Thee.

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!""

0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR
O 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 ,<,:omfort crue·l men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
• DE)liver 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. Chesterton.

Where pity dwells, the soul of good ls there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a pray'r.

Our people drift and die;

The swords of scorn divide,
Take not Thy thunder from us,

f>ECEMBER 7.-NoRMMI l-IAPGooo, editor of
I-Iarper' s iVeekly and a speaker whom we at Ford
Hall always hear gladly, will talk on" The 1lfodent
Drama as a Social 'Force." Mr, Hapgood, who has.
had large experience -in the past as a dramatic reviewer, is this winter again covering for his paper
the vnrious and varied theatrical productions of New
York . It is distinctly refreshing to read his review&
because they always get below the surface and show
the real significance of the particular play under consideration.
His address will clear up a lot of
puzzling questions as to what should and should not
be treated on the stage and as to whether worthy
causes are advanced or retarded by dignified dramatic
presentation.
DECEMBER 14.-The Social Centre will be considered by two people who know this subject thoroughly-Miss MARY
FOLLETT, Chairman of the
Boston Advisory Committee on Social Centres, and
Dn. JOHN LOVEJOY ELLIOTT, leader of the Hudson
Guild Movement in New York. The distinction of
Dr. Elliott's 'Guild is that it runs itself, taxing itself
some $1,800 yearly-a good deal of money to come
out of a group of laboring people-fo'r the work in
which its cosmopolitan and heterogeneous membership .
so devoutly believes. Its leader may WP.II talk, therefore, of "The Social Centre and Direct Actt'on,"
while Miss Follett, whose hopes for the movement
in Boston are still far from realized, will appropriately discuss "The -Social Centre and the Democratic Ideal." This should prove a very stimulating
evening to Ford Hall Folks who are just preparing
to launch an educational enterprise of their own!

DECEMBER 21.-At last the Good Gray Poet
comes up for consideration on our platform! The
speaker of the occasion will be our friend, Pno1r.
ZUEJJLIN, and some of us can scarcely wait for
December 21, so full of eagerness are we to hear
what he may have to say on" r¥alt r,Vhitman, Prophet
and Democrat." How Whitman would have revelled
in Ford Hall and its pnssionately earnest men and
women! He was one of us years before we came
into being at all. You will believe this after yon
have heard Zueblin, whether you believe it now or not.

NOVEMBER. 23.-REV. PAUL MOORE STRAYER,
a Presbyterian minister of Rochester, N. Y., who,
together with Ranschenbusch and other radical
thinkers of that socially-awakened city, conducts in a
. large theatre on Sunday evenings a series of.,meetings
very like ours at Ford Hall, will, on November 23,
tell us "I£ow to Socialize a Competitt've J,Vorld."
No subject that could come before us is more immediately important than this one. And Strayer is a
man who can handle it.

NOVEMBER. 16,-DR, STEPHEN S. W1sE of
New York comes to us again, his subject this time
being" 1'Vhat's 1-Vi-ong with the Jew.2 '' Dr. Wise
is perhaps the best-equipped man in the country to
discuss this vital topic, inasmuch as he has long been
recognized as a moral leader .among the Jewish
people besides being a distinguished critic of men
and measures generally. Moreover, he has just returned from five months' residence in the Old World,
in the course of which the problems of Palestine and
its people have been studied afresh against their own
background. This should prove a red-letter night at
Ford Hall.

NOVEMBER. 30.-Those of us so fortunate as
to have seen that wonderful study of Mr. Coleman
and the Ford Hall Meetings which appeared in
Collt'er's Weekly last spring, are looking forward
with very great interest to the speaker for the last
Sunday in November, PETER CLARK MACFARLANE,
the writer of that article, Mr. Macfarlane's topic
here will be "The Courage to Attack," and he himself is a living example of that courage. For he has
been a success in callings as different as those of the
actor, the editor and the book-agent, and he is now
one of the most successful free-lance writers and
speakers in this country. A dynamic person, he may
be counted on to bring us a highly inspiring message.

�lLINESS
THESE THINGS SHALL BEi
Nation with nation, land with land,
These things shall be! a loftier race
Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise;
Unarm'd shall live as comrades free;
In ev'ry heart and brain shall throb
With flow'r of freedom In their souls,
The pulse of one fraternity.
And light of science In their eyes.
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 skies,
And ev'ry life shall be a song,
When all the earth ls paradise.
These· things -they are no dreams-shall be
For happier men when we are gone:
Those golden days for them shall dawn,
T1,anscending aught we gaze upon.
-John Addington Symonds.
. 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 hllls give back the battle cry. II
Glory to God, the day is breaking,
The Jong-awaited golden morn!
The heroes dead who, self-forsaking,
II Gave all to hasten freedom's dawn.
. Whence ~ome ¥8, hero warriors, hithh?
What land, what ages, gave ye birth
What crave' ye still of bleeding earth
What laurel-wreaths that shall not wither?
As brothers, comrad~s, march beside us;
On, then, to conquest of the world!
On, till our battle flags are furled
In freedom's peace, and God shall guide us.
To arms the clarions call,
To deeds the doing WOl;th;
March on, march on, till freedom dawn,
And justice rule the earth I
II
Ye mountains, clap your hands!
Exult, 0 sky and sea!
March on, march on! breaks over all lands
The dawn of liberty!
-Charles Sprague Smith.

OCTOBER 19 will mark the opening of
the Seventh Season in the hi&tory of the Ford
Hall Meetings. The speaker of the occasion
is to · be PnoF. JOHN G nAHAM BnooKs of
Ca 111 bridge and his subject ''Before Socialism
- 1Vhat .2" Prof_
essor Brooks' answer to his
own ·q ue~tion is that co-operation must precede
· Socialism. That the Co-operative Movement is
at this moment making good in many American
co mmunities-despite the constant denials of
this fact-he will establish. The relation of
this movement to larger ones which may succeed it will also be shown.

immigrant, whose book "The Promised Land," has been universally pronounced one of the epoch-making works of our time, will speak to us on
"The American Gospel Day by Day." Mary Antin needs no advertisement

OCTOBER 26.-l'noF. EAHL BARNES comes
to us again with a sociological subject of compelling interest,'' The Family of the Fubtre."
In this lecture Professor Barnes will give us
the benefit of his prophetic vision reinforced by
a profound knowledge of history and much
study of the tendencies of the family in our own
time. That this very important institution stands
today on the threshold of great and far-reaching
changes no intellige nt person can fail to have
perceived. A sane, thoughtful presentation of
the way things will very likely work out in the
case of the American family.

(To the music of "Webb") ·
O God of earth and altar
From all that terror teaches,
Bow down and hear our cry,
From lies of tongue and pen,
Our earthly rulers falter,
From all the easy speeches
Our people drift and die;
That comfort cruel men,
The walls of gold entomb us,
From sale and profanation
The swords of acorn divide,
Of honor and the sword,
Take not Thy thunder.from ·us,
From sleep and from damnation,
But take away our pride.
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. Chesterton.

�March 30.-JoI• CowPER Powvs, M. A., of Cambridge University, ·
IN
England, will speak on "The Social lllfessage of Modern English ,
Wrt'te"h.",, Mr. Powys is a Welshman by birth
and his oratory possesses all the fiery power of his
extraordinary country-a cotmtry, it will be n:called, which gave birth to Lloyd George among
others. Ever since his college days this lecturer
has been presenting in vivicl popular language the
· ideals which possess him and we may expect a
great degree of enlightenment from his treatment
of the ultimate message of his British contemporaries-men like H. G. Wells, Bernard Shaw,
Chesterton, and all the rest of that brilliant coterie
who are making of England in the twentieth century a time to be harked back to, even as we of
· today hark back to the era of Tennyson, Browning,
Shelley and Carlyle.
April 6.-DR. CoLIN A. ScoTT of the Boston Normal School will lead a
Conference on Social Education, his own topic being "Trat'nt'ng for
Leadersht'p. '' Nowhere would it be easier than
at Ford Hall to demonstrate that in every community and in every social group there are individuals, many of them, whom Nature meant to be
leaders. Prof. Barnes, you remember, declared
that the Garfields and the Lincolns are not necessarily rare and he further pointed out that he
always looks eagerly in a crowd of recent immigrants for those having the signs of leadership.
Miss LoTTA A. CLARK, Director of the 1915
Pageant, and Miss MARY MULRY of South
Framingham, will contribute, also, to the very
interesting topic of the evening and tell us i1ow we
may all help to make our community life more
beautitul and more co-operative.

Sixth Season with that address on '' The Soct'al
Value of Free Speecll'' which we did not hear on
the Birthday Night because we had so many

address will have gained and not lost by being·
stored away in Dr. Gifford's mind for an extra

(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.

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!

March 23.-Rnv. N1c110LAS VAN DER PvL
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.

THE
"FORD
\Vhy stream the "Folks ·· at even tide ,
\Vith earnest look and rapid stride,
To Beacon Hill?
HALL
FOLKS."
\Vhy crowd the street from end to end,
Until the throng the corners bend,
And doorways fill?
Not one has face with gloom o'ercast,
.Not one is priest of ·'worn out" past,
In that great line .
With utmost freedom of the mind,
Though varied much in force and kind,
Each speaks his wor-d.
Th~y've found an altar, just and strong,
By ·kindness built, to banish wrong,
- And _good incline.
No clash of age, or sex, or clan,
So common to the common man ,
Is herein heard.
Eich takes hi s place and waits his turn,
To file within, where fires burn,
And hopes entwine.
This is the Forum of the free,
Discussing things that are to be;
Without a fear.
Here frailest maid, and humblest man,
And merest child, of mill-worn clan,
May life refine.
•
Here each one dreams of golden days ,
When love's pure thoughts, and love's sweet ways,
Shall bring men near.
This brightly lit, and spacious Hall,
Besieged by throngs of great and small,
Seems ali divine.
In those great days ; on earth shall be,
No empty temple, lone, and bare,
\,Vhere few are found to offer pray·r,
I s this gre~t shrine.
... ,
With songs, and pray'r and sentiment,
They raise their hearts in love's great vent,
And none decline.
.;,
The Master of the feast is there, .
To guide the host, the way prepare;.
And wisdom twine.
·
No color then, no social need,
No heart without its fullest meed,
When all are ,;,en.

0 GOD OF EARTH AND ALTAR
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 thund·e r from us,
But take away our pride.
(To the music of "Webb")
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 _ogether;
t
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. ~

brothers all, and not ev<.:rywhere! '' '' 'Tis Sunday, come Stranger, from whatever clime, professing whatever
faith, and enter with me, within its portals, dedicated to the brotherhood of man.'' Note how joyous everyone
appears to be! There is the Jew, the negro, the Irish, the Italian, the Yankee, aye, even the Turk; never a
disturbance, never even an ill-spoken word, my honor for
it, though they have been standing in the cold without for
two hours full. And this, for five seasons past! Ah, the
Sunday nights, how I long for them! Kind and genial

A parting word as regards your Chairman at Ford

truthfully state with all sincerity, that the name of
George W. Coleman is held with the tenderest affection·;
while his lofti:qess of purpose, combined with such genial
pers·onality. has attained for him a popularity among them
that cannot be likened unto another in our midst.

QUESTIONS FHOM THE F Loon.
THESE THINGS SHALL BE!
These things s hall be ! a lofti er r ace
'l'han e'er th e world hath known, shall ris e ;
With flow'r of freedom in th e ir so uls ,
And light of science in th eir eyes.
I
I
Th e y s hall be ge ntl e, brave and s trong,
To sp ill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant m an's Joru-ship firm,
On e arth, and fir e, and sea, anu air.
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,
·when all the ea rth is paradise.
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 .
- John Addington Symonds.
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
Wh en lhe hands of greed surrender,
What from toil th ey tore away.
Like a ruin doom ed to fall.
Vain th e veiling and di sg uisin g
Of the evils which exis t,
For n e w systems are uprisin g
From th e wrecka ge and the mi st;
And th e mills of God a.re slowly
Surely g rinding out their grist,
While the Jaws of ri ght and jus tic e
Hold and eve rmore per s is t,
F or th e land to all was givenIt belongs to you and m e;
'Tis a law of earth and h eaven
Broken now fron1 sea to s ea,
L e_ monopoly be driv en
t
From the fortr ess of the free ;
And le t lil.J erty bid welco m e
To th e governm ent to be.

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.

0 GOD OF EARTH AND AL TAR
(To lhe 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 'l'hy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
From all that terror teach es,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profaualion
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;
h1 ire and exultation
• Aflame wilh faith, and free,
Lift up a. living nation,
A single sword to Thee.
-G. K. Chesterton,

December 29.-PnoF. C11AnLES PllosrEno
FAGNANI of Union Theological Seminary, New
York, will give an address on '' God and
Democracy."
Professor Fagnani was the
speaker of the evening at Cooper Union that
· night, ahout half a dozen years ago, when Mr.
Coleman caught the vision of a similar forum
for Boston ; so ever since this movement was
successfully launched we have been trying to
get -Dr. Fagnani for our platform. vVhen you
hear him you will understand why he fired Mr.
Coleman's soul with noble ~eal-and wl1y we
have asked him to address ypu tonight.
That Same Evening, :tvI1ss ANGELA
Mon GAN, who was heard here last year with so
much pleasure, will read two of her recent
poems: "7 oday," published in the ci1rrent
number of the Cosmopolitan 1
1.fag-az ine and
epitomizing the very spirit of our wonderful
time, and "_T/1e Titan," a poem still unpublished, which was inspir~d by the first Ford
Hall Meeting Miss Morgan ever attended.
Altogether a jubilant 'evening, this last tviceting
of ours in the year nineteen humlred and
twelve!
January 5 is the Sundiy before the Boston
school election.
~lite appropriately, therefore, the question of effectiveness in our public
.school system will then be considered, Mns.
ANNA GAnLIN SPENCER of New York opeqing
the discussion by her powerful lecture, Are the
Public Sch~ols Democratic?" Mrs. Spencer
is one of the hest-known platform women in
this country and she will undoubtedly make
that evening a stimulating and a profitable one
for us all.

0 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 a11d pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damiiatlon,
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 'l'hee.
-G. K . Chesterton.

CHOOSE YE, THIS DAY
l
Once to ev'ry man and nati9n comes the moment to deci_de
In the strife of Truth with l~alsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new lHessiah, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
'
I
·1
Then _o side with Truth is noble when we share her wr!ltched crnst,
t
El'er her cause bring fame and profit and 'tis prosperous to be jnsl.
'fhen it· is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside,
And the multitudes make virtue of the faith they had denied.
New occasions teach new duties; time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth;
Lo, before us gleam her lamp-fires! we ourselves must pilgrims be,
Not· attempt the Future's portal with the Past's b,lood-rusted key.
- James nussell Lowell.
THE GOVERNMENT TO BE
(To the tune or "Allstria")
Tliro' the clamor and the riot
That is heard from sea to sea,
I can fee l the coming quiet
Of the government to be;
Vain the effort to dissemble
For the trnth is clear to all,
And the old conditions tren1ble
Like a rnin doomed to fall.
Vain the veiling and disguising
Of the evils which exist,
For new systems are uprising
From the wreckage and the mist;
And the mills of God are s lowl y
Surely grinding out their grist,
vVhile the laws of right and justice
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 -0f the day
When the hands of greed surrend _r,
e
What from toil they tore away.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

the important and significant · question, "I-low
Shall the I'eoplc Get Pure Food?" Mr. McCann
made a veritable sensation at :Mr. Coleman's
Sociological Conference at Sagamore last spring

0 GOD OF EARTH AND ALTAR
(To th e music of "Webb")
0 God of earth and altar
From all that terror teaches,
li'rom li es or ton gue and pe n,
Bow down and h ear our cry,
From all th e easy s peeches
Our ea rthly rulers fall er,
Thal comfort cruel men,
Our people drift and die;
From sa le and profanation
'l'he walls of gold e ntomb us,
or honor and th e sword,
The swords of scorn divide,
From s lee p and from damnation,
Take not Thy thund e r from us,
Deliver us, good Lord.
But take away our pride.
'
\
'l'ie in a living tether
Th e pri es t and J)rinc e and thrall,
Bind all our Ii \'CS togeth e r,
Smite us and s av e us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame wilh faith, and fr ee,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword lo Th ee.
-0 . K. Chesterton.

THY KINGDOM COME!
"Thy kingdom come!" 0 Lord we daily cry,
Weary and sad wilh earth's long strife and }lain!
"How long, O Lord!" 'l'hy sutI'ring children sigh!
"Speed Thou the dawn, and o'er the nations r eign!"
I
Thy kingdom come! then all the din of war,
Like some dark dream, shall vani s h with th e night!
Peace, holy 11 eace, her myriad s girts shall pour,
Resting secure from dang e r and affright.
I
Thy kingdom come! no more shall dee ds of shame,
Brutish and ba se, deH troy th e soul divine:
Bright with Thy Joye's all-purifying flame
Thy human t e nq,les e vc rmore shall shine!
\
Thy kingdom come! mad g reed for wealth and power
No more shall grind the w eaklings in th e du st.
Th en mind and stren g th shall share Thy ampl e dow er,
Brothers in Thee, and one in etJual tru st.

THE COMING TIME
And is the lime approaching,
By wise m en long foreto ld,
Wh e n all shall dwell toge th er,
United in one fold?
\Vh e n all men shall be brothe rs
li'orsaking nan:ow cree d,
And each for all do service
As ev'ry one hath need!
Shall J e w and Gentile, m ee ting
From many a di s tant shore,
Upon one common altar
Their common lov e outpour?
Shall all that now divides us
R e mov e and pass away,
Like shadows of th e morning
Before th e blaze of day?
\
\
Shall all that now unit es us
More sweet and lasting prove ,
A closer bond of union ,
In a bl es t land of love?
Shall war be learn'd no longer,
Shall strife and t umult cease,
All earth a blessed kingdom
Of harmony and Peace?

October 13.-At the first Ford Hall Meeting
of th e l'vJovcm e nt's Sixth Season DH. T110MA S C.
HALL of New York, well k11 o wn as a highly
successful Cooper Union speaker, will giYe his
brilliant lecture," 'l'/1c ,1/orals of A11arc/1ism a11d
Socialism."
This subject is one upon which
many of u,; have ln11g been desiring more light and
we are, indeed, fortunat e in having Dr. Hall come
to clear · it up for us.
That Same EvenQ
ing Mn. J 011N OwrH,
who talk e d to us so
delightfully 1;1st year
about "Lisz t as a
Radical," will give us a " ,llusica l r.la(f .I.lour
witlt Schubert, C!wpin a11d Liszt. " Mr. Orth
is one of the mo st di stinguished of American
pianists and he is, besides, a man deeply in sympathy with these Meetings. The c01nbination of
Dr. Hall and John Orth should make this a Ford
Hall 'First Night long to be remembered.
.
October 20.-Do you rem embe r the evening
you went a way from here saying: '·That was the
grl'atest Bible lecture I e yer heard, one of the
greatest lectures of ally sort, indeed, that I eyer
heai·d"? The speaker ·was RABBI IlAn1us of
New York, wasn't it? At any rate, Dr. Harris
gave here, two years ago, a Bible lecture packed
with scholarship and so l.Jrilliant in thought that
some denominational papers printed it entire! Ile
it is who will now talk to us on '' The Functioll
of the J ew in the · IVorld's Ecuwmy." ,vhether
you are a Jew or a Gentile you'll want to !·. ear thi s
lecture and you will want, too, to hear our own
]Vlu. GuTTEHSON tell us, that same evening, of
"7'/,e Place of 1
ll11sic i11 the General E'ducation
of the I'eoj>le.. "
October 27.-PrtoF. vV A LTEB H.Au~ c 1rn:-111usc11,
who could not come to 11s at all la st year because
he was so dee ply occupied in the preparation of a
new book, will give ns the fruits of his long
period of retirement and research in a discussion
of "Christianity and Socialism: Their Larger
Parallels." Those who know Rauschenbusch are
anticipating this address with the most intense
eagerness. Our good friend, l'lln. KINGMAN, also,
will be on hand that· evening with his 'cello!

\Ve have felt it in the people's heart, where all great movements growThat day is marching on!
The day when every man on earth shall find l1is fullest power,
\Vhen Mother love sha ll ring the world ,111d bring a nobl er hour,
\\'hen every baby born shall live and blossom like a flowerThat day is marching oi1 !
CHORUS.

The end of shame and inisery and vice and crime abhorred!
The time for us to build on earth the Kingdom of the Lord!
That day is marching on!

For thee th ey toil'd and pray'd;

Upon thy holy altar
Thy harvests waving fair;
Their willing liv es they laid;

Thou ha st no common birthright,
Th e manhood of th e poor;
Grand memorie s on th ee shi ne,
Be thou to th e oppressed
The blood of pilgrim nations
Fair freedom's open door.

Lo, the burden s hall be di\'ided,
And each sha ll know hi s ow n.
And the royalty of manhood
Shall more than crown or throne,
And the flesh and blood of toilers
At the dawn of creation's birth,
And the circling sph eres go swinging
And si ngin'g it unto earth.
Shall no longer be less than gold,
And never an honest li fe
Into hopeless bondage so ld .

I,
March 24. - Probably not more than twenty thousand different persons
in a year have the opportunity to watch the United States Senate in
action and certainly only a few of us at Ford Hall
have ever done this for several cons~cutive 8essions.
Happily, a good substitute for this experience is
now available in the person of Mns. EM11.y·
:MoNTAGUE BISHOP of New York who, having
sat in the Senate Gallery for many days at a time
and having studied afterwards the pages of the
Co11gressional Record, is able, with almost
startling fidelity, to reproduce the Senate and
the Senators right here on our platform. Her performance is the most fascinating com hination of e lements at once entertaining and educational which
has been originated in
twenty years. ~Vort/1
standing· ht lhze /01: !
March JI .-We hope that the old saying,"The
third time never fails," will prove to be true on this
occasion, for this is the third time we have announced that Dn. STANTON CoIT of London would
speak to us on "Am I 1
lry Brother's I{eeper.2"
On both previous occasions pressing personal niatters compelled Dr. Coit's return to England before
the date schedulecl fo•r his lecture here. This
address is well worth waiting for, however. No
less an authority than Professor Zueblin has declared Dr. Coit to be
one of the most brilliant
speakers of our time.
April 7.-JOI-IN GnAI-IAIII BnooKs of Cambridge will speak to us on "The .New Schism in
Socialism." Mr. Brooks has made a special stucly
of Syndicalism both in this country and in Et!rope
,and will very likely interpret to us the Lawrence
Strike in the light of this latest phase of Socialistic
doctrine. Inasmuch as we have · been trying to
make a Ford Hall date with this speaker eyer
since the Meetings opened, £om years ago, it goes
without saying that we regard it as · rather a triumph to secure him at
just this time on this
particular topic.
April 14. -The last meeting of the season!
And fi_ttingly the series closes, as it began, with
the religious note. The speaker will be DEAN
$HAILER MATHEWS of the University of Chicago,
and his topic, "Evolution and Religion." When
Dr. 1v1athews was last here he gave us a fascinating talk on" The Religion of the .kfodern .Afan,"
in the course of which Evolution was briefly
touched upon. So much interest did the audience
evince in this aspect of the Dean's address that we
have ever since been "saving up" the present topic
for him. And now he comes halfway across the
Continent to address us on this alludng subject.
