Chapter XIV.—The Vessel of the Church.
“For the whole business of the Church is like unto a great ship, bearing through a violent storm men who are of many places, and who desire to inhabit the city of the good kingdom. Let, therefore, God be your shipmaster; and let the pilot be likened to Christ, the mate to the bishop, and the sailors to the deacons, the midshipmen to the catechists, the multitude of the brethren to the passengers, the world to the sea; the foul winds to temptations, persecutions, and dangers; and all manner of afflictions to the waves; the land winds and their squalls to the discourses of deceivers and false prophets; the promontories and rugged rocks to the judges in high places threatening terrible things; the meetings of two seas, and the wild places, to unreasonable men and those who doubt of the promises of truth. Let hypocrites be regarded as like to pirates. Moreover, account the strong whirlpool, and the Tartarean Charybdis, and murderous wrecks, and deadly founderings, to be nought but sins. In order, therefore, that, sailing with a fair wind, you may safely reach the haven of the hoped-for city, pray so as to be heard. But prayers become audible by good deeds.

Chapter X.—“Whatsoever Things are Honest.”
“Let the brethren who have causes to be settled not be judged by the secular authorities; but let them by all means be reconciled by the elders of the church, yielding ready obedience to them. Moreover, also, flee avarice, inasmuch as it is able, under pretext of temporal gain, to deprive you of eternal blessings. Carefully keep your balances, your measures, your weights, and the things belonging to your traffic, just. Be faithful with respect to your trusts. Moreover, you will persevere in doing these things, and things similar to these, until the end, if you have in your hearts an ineradicable remembrance of the judgment that is from God. For who would sin, being persuaded that at the end of life there is a judgment appointed of the righteous God, who only now is long-suffering and good, that the good may in future enjoy for ever unspeakable blessings; but the sinners being found as evil, shall obtain an eternity of unspeakable punishment. And, indeed, that these things are so, it would be reasonable to doubt, were it not that the Prophet of the truth has said and sworn that it shall be.

Chapter XII.—Duties of Deacons.
“Moreover let the deacons of the church, going about with intelligence, be as eyes to the bishop, carefully inquiring into the doings of each member of the church, ascertaining who is about to sin, in order that, being arrested with admonition by the president, he may haply not accomplish the sin. Let them check the disorderly, that they may not desist from assembling to hear the discourses, so that they may be able to counteract by the word of truth those anxieties that fall upon the heart from every side, by means of worldly casualties and evil communications; for if they long remain fallow, they become fuel for the fire. And let them learn who are suffering under bodily disease, and let them bring them to the notice of the multitude who do not know of them, that they may visit them, and supply their wants according to the judgment of the president. Yea, though they do this without his knowledge, they do nothing amiss. These things, then, and things like to these, let the deacons attend to.
# Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VIII/Pseudo-Clementine Literature/The Clementine Homilies/Epistle of Clement to James/Chapter 13

Chapter XIII.—Duties of Catechists.
“Let the catechists instruct, being first instructed; for it is a work relating to the souls of men. For the teacher of the word must accommodate himself to the various judgments of the learners. The catechists must therefore be learned, and unblameable, of much experience, and approved, as you will know that Clement is, who is to be your instructor after me. For it were too much for me now to go into details. However, if ye be of one mind, you shall be able to reach the haven of rest, where is the peaceful city of the great King.

Epistle of Clement to James.
Clement to James, the lord, and the bishop of bishops, who rules Jerusalem, the holy church of the Hebrews, and the churches everywhere excellently founded by the providence of God, with the elders and deacons, and the rest of the brethren, peace be always.
Chapter I.—Peter’s Martyrdom.
Be it known to you, my lord, that Simon, who, for the sake of the true faith, and the most sure foundation of his doctrine, was set apart to be the foundation of the Church, and for this end was by Jesus Himself, with His truthful mouth, named Peter, the first-fruits of our Lord, the first of the apostles; to whom first the Father revealed the Son; whom the Christ, with good reason, blessed; the called, and elect, and associate at table and in the journeyings of Christ; the excellent and approved disciple, who, as being fittest of all, was commanded to enlighten the darker part of the world, namely the West, and was enabled to accomplish it,—and to what extent do I lengthen my discourse, not wishing to indicate what is sad, which yet of necessity, though reluctantly, I must tell you,—he himself, by reason of his immense love towards men, having come as far as Rome, clearly and publicly testifying, in opposition to the wicked one who withstood him, that there is to be a good King over all the world, while saving men by his God-inspired doctrine, himself, by violence, exchanged this present existence for life.

* ↑ More probably “the Lord’s brother.” So it must have been in the text from which Rufinus translated. [That this means “James the Lord’s brother” is quite certain, but it is not necessary to adopt this reading here; comp. chap. 20 and the opening sentence of the previous epistle. In Recognitions, iii. 74, Clement is represented as writing “my lord James.”—R.]
# Ben King's Verse/Little 'Rasmus

De Great Good Speret come down from above An' took leetle 'Rasmus away; Took my leetle 'Rasmus dat played peep wid me, En rode out to Banbury Cross on my knee,  Took po' leetle 'Rasmus away. Took my leetle 'Rasmus dat played roun' de do' An' danced at de sunbeams dat fell on de flo',  Took my leetle 'Rasmus away,
Dat's why I'se down-hearted an' kain't fin' relief, An' ol' an' bent over; I'se loaded with grief  Kase 'Rasmus has done gone away. De Great Good Speret comes down from de sky An' hovahs aroun' ebbery day, An' hit 'pears what yo 's lovin' a leetle too much, De Good Speret take it away,  Kase He took leetle 'Rasmus away.
But I know de Good Speret mus' be mighty glad, But dis darky's heart am jes' moun ful an' sad  Since 'Rasmus has done gone away. An' mos'ly at morn, when de shimperin' breeze Am loiterin' up in de sycamore trees, An' at noon when de sun dances roun' on de flo' Dis ole darky's heart am jes' burdened wid woe, An' at night twixt de win' an' de patterin' rain, My po' soul an' body am restless wid pain  Since 'Rasmus has done gone away.
But I know de Good Speret comes down from de sky An' hovahs aroun' ebbery day, An' hit 'pears what yo' worship a leetle too much De Good Speret takes it away, Kase He took lettle 'Rasmus away--  Took po' leetle 'Rasmus away.
# Ben King's Verse/Old Bossie Cow

Po' ole bossie cow's down in de marsh, Down in de marsh where de col' winds am blowin' Eb'ry now an' den when de staum dies away Seems if I hyard old bossie cow a-lowin'.
So out by de cabin do' I stan' on de sweep, An' listen in de win' an' dampnin' weddah, An 't 'pears dat I hear ole bossie cow again, An' I low dat she say, "Come down in de meddah."
Den down froo de marsh land trampin' along, Down froo de gloom an' de night rains a-fallin', Pickin' my way through the whispern' reeds, "Co-boss, co-boss, co-boss a-callin'.
Den all ob a sudden I come to a stop, An' dar ole bossie cow so gentle an so kyind; An' I coax up ole brindle, an' I lead her by de ho'n; A wee little bossie cow comes follerin' on behin', A wee little bossie comes follerin' on behin'.
# Ben King's Verse/Lef' De Ole Hoss Out

'Tween de gusts ob de win'  Comes a winner an' a soun'
Like de trampin' ob hoofs on de col', col' groun'.
 I'se 'spicious ob a staum,
 An' dere ain't no doubt
But somebod's gone an' lef de ole hoss out.
   I 'membah now de sheep
 Come a-runnin' to de shed,
An' de ole bossie cow was a-standin' in 'er bed,
 An' de chickens on de roos';
 But what was I 'bout
When I done went to bed an' lef de ole hoss out?
 Well, I mus'n lay heah
 An' hab de col' win's blow—
When de keyhole whistles dar's gwine ter come snow—
 I jes' oughter 'rise
 An' wandah right out,
An' cuah myself ob leebin' de ole hoss out.
 Mah goodness, what er night!
 Wondah what's dat soun'?
'at's de ole hoss, jes' comin' on de boun'.
 I'se ashame' ob myse'f!
 Well, what was I 'bout,
Ter go ter bed ter res' an' leebe de ole hoss out?
# Ben King's Verse/Like the New Friends Best

Don't talk to me o' old time friends, But jes give me the new. The old friends may be good enough, But somehow they won't do, I don't care for their old time ways; Their questions you'll allow Are soulless as a parrot's gab:-- "Well, what you up to now?" That's one thing I've agin 'em, 'Cause that with all the rest, Like hintin' 'bout some old time debt; I like my new friends best.
I meet an old friend in the street, As oftentimes I do, Mechanically he stops to shake An' say: "Well, how are you?" Then drawin' down his face, as if His cheeks was filled with lead, He says: "I spose you've heard the news?" "No!" "Eli Stubbs is dead. An' 'fore he died he ast for you-- Seemed sorry you was gone, An' said 'at what he'd let you have He hoped would help you on." Now that's why I don't like 'em much, You prob'bly might have guessed, I aint got much agin' 'em, but I like the new friends best.
Old friends are most too home-like now. They know your age, and when You got expelled from school, and lots Of other things, an' then They 'member when you shivereed The town an' broke the lights Out of the school 'nen run away An' played "Hunt Cole" out nights. They 'member when you played around Your dear old mommy's knee; It's them can tell the very date That you got on a spree. I don't like to forget 'em, yet If put right to the test Of hankerin' right now for 'em, I like the new friends best.
# Ben King's Verse/Keep Him a Baby

Keep him a baby as long as you can; Bless him, the dear little, cute, cunning man! Keep him in dresses, and apron, and bib; Rock him to sleep in his own little crib.
Keep him a baby enjoying his toys-- Soon enough he will be one of the boys; Keep him a baby and keep him at home-- Manhood will very soon cause him to roam.
Ofttimes at night when he wakes for a frolic, Don't get excited--it's only the colic; When he has reason your slumbers to mar, Get up and walk with him, just as you are.
First it is Winslow and then it is squills, Then you will find one or two doctor's bills, Though he's a trouble at times, it is true, When he grows up he will take care of you.
Keep him a baby still taking his nap, Don't you chastise him for any mishap; When he falls off a sofa or chair, Don't stop his crying by calling a bear.
Keep him a baby and do as I say; Take him to ride in his carriage each day; Show him the bossie, the horse and the bow-wow; Soon you will hear him say "moo!" to the cow.
Keep him a baby: he'll soon be a boy, Then he'll forsake every plaything and toy; Keep him a baby--he'll soon be a man, Keep him a baby as long as you can.
# Ben King's Verse/Lovely-Loves

Oh, love! let us love with a love that loves,  Loving on with a love forever; For a love that loves not the love it should love--  I wot such a love will sever. But, when two loves love this lovable love,  Love loves with a love that is best; And this love-loving, lovable, love-lasting love  Loves on in pur love's loveliness.
Oh, chide not the love when its lovey-love loves  With lovable, loving caresses; For one feels that the lovingest love love can love,  Love on in love's own lovelinesses. And love, when it does love, in secret should love--  'Tis there where love most is admired; But the two lovey-loves that don't care where they love  Make the public most mightily tired.
# Ben King's Verse/Like De Ole Mule Bes'

Some folks is so't o' pa'shal to de cattle roun' de  fa'm, Ter make a pet ob animals dey find hit so't of balm, While odders 'fer de poultry stock; de goose, en duck,  en hen Is often made de mos' ob by de wisess kind ob men. Some like de brindle mooley cow 'nd 'low dey hab  de sense Ter pear ter know dere massa we'n dey see 'im at de  fence. Some like the yearlin' colt; I've raly seed men stand  aroun' An pet a hoss all day, 'nd rub his legs en fetlocks  down; But gibbin all de animals de faires' kind ob tes'  I so't o' like de ole mule bes'.
Some pet de mockin' bird en robin redbress' an' de  linnit; Some like de gobbler kase he's struttin' roun' mos'  ebery minute. Some like de peacock fo' his pride, an' den some like  de dog, Whilst odders fo companionship have prefunce fo' de  hog. Some fa'mers like de wedder sheep, en some de little  lam', De billy-goat, an' nanny-goat, whilst odders 'fer de  ram. Some like de little week-ol' calf w'en buntin' roun'  hits mudder, An' some folks dey like one thing an' den some folks  like anudder; But 'f all de stock I'se raised wid in de Souf, er Eas'  er Wes'  I so't o like de ole mule bes'.
Dars sompin' meekly 'bout 'im, hits de fac' he isn't  bold An' de 'spression on 'is face is like de holy saints ob  old; When he sort o' histe 'is heel up like 's gwine ter hit  de sky He's simply exhcisin' jes ter pestervate a fly. An' de why he 'pears embarrass'd is kase nature had  ter fail. An' made 'im sort o' long on ears, en kind o' short  on tail. But den he's mo den 'tatched ter me, and know I is  his frien' An' we done made up our mind ter stick tergedder  ter de end; So dar's no use ob yo' axin' me, yo's done had time  ter guess  I so't o' like de ole mule bes'.
I used ter like Lucindy, but den 'Cindy couldn't  stay, An' little Sim, I worshiped so, de angles coaxed  away, An' Lize Anne, an' br'er Zeph dere up dar on de hill, I pa'shley think I hear 'em, too, w'en all aroun' is  still; Yo' see I'se mo' den lonesome heah, wid nobody ter  talk, Er hide behin' de lilac trees adown de garden walk, Dat w'en I look at dat ole mule I feel so full ob woe 'Bout little Sim 'at rode on 'im, an 'taint so long ago, Ob all de frien's dat's lef' me now, I 'raly mus'  confess  I so't o' like de ole mule bes'.
# Ben King's Verse/No Harm Done

Excuse me, Mr. Handy, for a-droppin' you a  line, But the fact is, I've arrived in town and feelin'  mighty fine; I'm stoppin' at the Press Club, er that's where I  take my meals, An' I must say I'm agitatin' some colossal deals; But what I want to ask you is, 'at seems a-botherin'  me, Is your hippodrome at Jackson Park, that's what I  want to see; I'd lay all careful pains aside an' wear a steady grin 'F I thought 'at you could work some scheme  Of gittin' of me in.  Course, if you say they isn't,  I'll say I's just in fun,  An' we'll just let it go at that--  They's no harm done.
Say, Handy, what I want is so's I can push my phiz All 'round the hull World's Fair grounds an see  everything they is, An' when a C'lumbian guard comes up unmannerly  and gruff, I'll flash the pass you give me, Handy, that'll be  enough An' passin' on an' mirrorin' my face in the lagoon Where that fellow is a-standin'--now what's his  name?--Neptune. I want to see you, Major, yes, I want to grasp your  fin, 'Cause I know 'at you could work some scheme  Of gittin' of me in.  Course, if you say they isn't,  I'll say I's just in fun,  An' we'll just let it go at that--  They's no harm done.
I want to see the state buildin's an' all ther' is there, I want to see that queer machine that turns out com-  pressed air, Th' Administration Buildin' an' th' Agricultural Hall-- I tell you, Major, hones'ly, I want to see it all. I'll be alone mos' of the time an' nothin' 's goin' to  please Me better than to get acquainted with those Javanese. Don't say a word! Say, Handy, I must brace you  agin: Is they any possibility  Of gittin' of me in?  Course, if you say they isn't,  I'll say I's just in fun,  An' we'll just let it go at that--  They's no harm done.
I've read the weekly papers, Major, out at old  St. Joe, They ain't been nothin' in 'em 'at the country folks  don't know. Some wants to see machinery, some paintin's, an'  some fish, Some want to hear the music, too, but I tell you my  wish Is just to see them foreign girls from Spain an' sunny  France, An' Abdul Something, what-'s-his-name, that's got  them girls 'at dance Out there in Midway Plaisance, an' the Sultan an'  his kin. Oh, Handy, you must fix some scheme  Of gittin' of me in?  Course, if you say they isn't,  I'll say I's just in fun,  An' we'll just let it go at that--  They's no harm done.
# Ben King's Verse/Nobody Knows

Nobody knows when de col' winds am blowin', Whar all de po' little chillun am a-goin'. Nobody knows when de night time's hoverin' How many little ones am des'tute ob coverin'. Nobody sees, but de Lo'd done see 'em, An' bime-by de Lo'd'll tell humanity ter free 'em.
Nobody know jes' how many am in rags, A-sleepin' in de hot blocks an' 'roun' on de flags, Nobody sees all dis poverty an' woe, A-livin' on de emptyin's an' not a place ter go. Nobody sees, but de Lo'd done see 'em, An' bime-by de Lo'd'll tell humanity ter free 'em.
Nobody knows whar dis poverty all comes-- How many po' folk am sleepin' in de slums. Nobody knows jes' how few am befriendin', But de good Lo'd knows dar mus' soon be an endin'. Nobody sees, but de Lo'd sone see 'em, An' bime-by de Lo'd'll tell humanity ter free 'em.
# Ben King's Verse/Lovey-Loves

Oh, love! let us love with a love that loves,  Loving on with a love forever; For a love that loves not the love it should love--  I wot such a love will sever. But, when two loves love this lovable love,  Love loves with a love that is best; And this love-loving, lovable, love-lasting love  Loves on in pure love's loveliness.
Oh, chide not the love when its lovey-love loves  With lovable, loving caresses; For one feels that the lovingest love love can love,  Loves on in love's own lovelinesses. And love, when it does love, in secret should love--  'Tis there where love most is admired; But the two lovey-loves that don't care where they love  Make the public most mightily tired.

Mr. Justice BURTON, dissenting.
Whether or not § 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act is applicable to this contract, the judgment of the Court of Appeals should be affirmed.
Assuming the validity of the arbitration clause in the New York contract here involved, I regard the procedure which it prescribes as a permissible 'form of trial.' See Murray Oil Products Co. v. Mitsui & Co., 2 Cir., 146 F.2d 381. Accordingly, the United States District Court for the District of Vermont may stay its own proceedings to await completion of the arbitration proceedings, although a state court of Vermont would not do likewise. I do not interpret Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 58 S.Ct. 817, 82 L.Ed. 1188, or Guaranty Trust Co. of New York v. York, 326 U.S. 99, 65 S.Ct. 1464, 89 L.Ed. 2079, as requiring the contrary.
