Isit to 60 70 church to day,
To look devout and seem to pray. .
E And ere to-moHow's sun goes down a.
Be dealing SANDER through the town!
Does every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign Of grace!
Does not phiz that scowls at sin
OF veil hypocrisy within!
Is it to make our daily walk,
And Of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime.
And thus mis-spend our precious tin,s'
Is it for sect and creed to fight,
To call our yea! the rule Of right,
When what we wish is, at the best
To sec our church excel the rest!
Is it 10 wear the Christian dress, g.
And love to all mankind profess,
10 treat with scorn the humbled poor,
And bar against them every door7
Oh, no. religion means not this:
Its fruits more sweet and fairer is
Its precepts this; to others do
AS you would have them do to you.
1t grieyes to hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport
OF others deeds i. speaks no i'll,
But tells Of good, or else keeps still.
And does religion this impart!
Then may its influence Gil my heart;
Oh! haste the blissful joyful day,
When ali the earth may own it's sway.
