For the Angel OF Mercy had ~ed them away
Tina, Peace bad accomplished, this Mercy had done,
But great moral conquest bsd yet TO be won
And the third OF these Angels came down to reclaim
A multitude stepped 10 ain squslor sna shame
Mid the children OF peDury passion and toll
The town f-ttered crsftsmen, the sons OF the soil,
Md the by. ways Of life, pestleDtial and cold,
Mid the hsunts where the drsughts OF destruction

Mid fathers that chung TO the thrsldom of ain.
Mid mothers that rsysled Ia lewdnsss and din,
Mid children, poor aliens % comfort and rest
Who learned dread vice they hung At tbs bresst,
Mid the lowly who msds their sad destiny worse
Mid the gifted who wrthed Ia the coils OF the curse
Tbs Angel walked forth clothed In goodness and grace
And the Demon Of Drunkenness fled from her face
Bot inspired by her presence the gifted looked up
The iowly threw down the insdiOus cup,
Tho father grew best In the love Of his child,
The mother cast from her all things that dehled,
Whils her offspring grew dOcile, and happy snd wise
Add bshrld their own JOY In sfecuoDate eyes
The selling though poor. became quiet and clean,
And harmony reigned where disorder had been,
Home pleasures. home treasures hons duties home
Wer. found 70 be- hottest. calmest. snd best trest
Tue Craftsman 10 bearing grew sober and trim,
The Peasant rel need In n sturdier limb,
The tongues OF the timid found words 10 declsim
aipst the Ills that oppressed them with sorrow and
shame.
And mission Of Brothers Age, Manhood. and Youth,
Went out 10 iIsstill the essence Of truth -
The Or.t0r caught new theme for his speech,
The Pastor grew glad the new doctrine to teach,
And the Poet whO stood Ia the ysD OF the tbroDg,
Found his spirit expanding With lOfter song
And we'll might his thoughts 10 new uumphs aspire
Por the Angel Of Temperance kinhed his fire
Then the voice OF the multitudes burst into glee,
Liz. the swell and the shout OF the turbulent sea-
P.sc. Mercy aud Temperance T. Earth seemed TO
Ps.c. Mercy Temperance y echoed the sky; lcry-
And started from sleep with a bound and scream
Overawed by the splendor and power OF my dream
Disdain not the night visions mystical lore,
For coming events cast their shadows before =
Aud IN. Angels coming broad winged ON the wind,
And the pioioDs of Freedom press closely behlod
Give them welcome, my brothers, and In that glad
hour power
Hold them fact till they bess you, for such is their
