T.
ooh. say Brother Stubs. have you heard how
they talk
vi this horfid Low Churchman VINO : coming
Aud who vows that. next Sunday. he'll preach |
without gown,
Ia the Methodist meeting house here IN Our |
town
Why, us all in the papers, aud men, they
Gan read OF the deed that will shortly be done
II viii empty our churches, for most Of our
sheep
will take the occasion 10 listen ana peep;
And for many q day will our parishes ring
With the tiresome jingle Of Tying a-iing ting"
H.
"Oh. what's 10 DO done cent this outrage be
stopped
Can't our lettering paipiss. in some way. be
Let's run to our Bishop, and tell him tho news
HIS Reverence, doubtless, will shake in his
When he hears that without. nay asains,, our
consent,
A son OF the Church has declared his intent
To follow, 80 b!indly. his Masters command.
Andto SOW his good seed on another mans land.
| come on. let US hurry 10 settle this thing.
BY sitting the chords of Tying -a-iing ting
| Ill
so straight TO their Bishop aJonrney they make,
Aud at first the sad news makes him quiyer aud
quake;
But his courage revives as their tale they un'
fold
| And lie saws with nm accent decided and bold,
| Dear friends, there's a canon long buried In
dust.
Aud terribly choked up with ashes aud rust;
But we'Il oil il, and give II some wipes aud some
rubs,
And wen load IT with charges Of Boggs aai OF
Stvbbs,
And then, rs a pran OF triumph we sing.
| Wen hrcit oil with Tying a-ling ting"
".
Sothe Bishop he delves and the Bishop he grubs
And bv dint Of assistance from Boggs and from
| Stubba,
The canon 10 dug from the rubbish which ohokes
Its ugly old muille and loud are the Jokes
Which ,ts obsolete pattern and straight narrow
bore
Excite 10 the crowd who are waiting its roar
Andlt Then they compel our good Bishop of"York
To hear all the grievance. and stand all the talk
, And by night and By day dreary changes they
ring,
Ashley chime their sad anthem Tvpg-a-ing-
. ting.
And then TO St. Peters. 10 open the court.
The Judges and jury and counsel resort
And good Christiss people, with wide open
cars,
Are waiting to hear q priest tried by his GERS.
And they call up the case, and the lawyers be-
gin
, To indulge in their usual professional din,
And. by better invective aud eluibbls and sneer
| To show what mass of corruption rs here;
And really tits shocking what CHARGES they
bring.
: As they peal the loud slogan Of Tying a-ling
IL ting.
| w.
All mel it's a sight at which angels might
weep,
It's harvest OF tarts for our churches TO reap
Sweet Chsrity's presence has fled from thu
scene,
And good men lose temper and revel in spleen
And the Doubtsrs ssd Scofiers, who relish such
. suits,
Cry "Lo. these are Christians come, Judge o
their fruits"
And the canon has burst, andy dissonanc,
loud,
y | Has deaf.ned the ears OF the wondering crowd
, And the pail OF its smoke like garment doti
cling
To the walls that still echo with Tyng-a-lin.
. ting.
Oh servants OF Him whose sole mission wal
Love.
Do yc still bear emblems the Lamb and til,
Dove.
When ye read from your desks tho sweet record
that tell
How lie preached in the Temple aud taught q
the veil
| DO the sapiont ewes of your wisdom detect
That He bounded your duties by parish or sect
4 Oh bid .hcse small rnvies and ealouses cease
, | JOIN all in one brotbcrly anthem OF peace;
Aud when yo.r GLAD voices IN harmony ring,
. Theyll drown the harsh discord of Tyng-a- ipg
ting r. r. 3
