THE NEW CHURCH DOCTRINE.
by WILL CARLTON.


There's come sing'lar doctrine, sue,
Into our church to-day;
These GURUS words are whOt the new =,
Young preacher had to say!
That literal everlastin' FIRE
Was mostly in our eye;
That sinners dead, II they desire.
Can get another try;
He doubted II warmer cline
Than this world could be proved;
The little snipe-I fear sometime
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched my duty, straight an true,
An tried to do II we'll;
Part OF the time kept heaven In view,
An part steered clear O hell
An now half Of this work B nRught,
II must list to him,
An thi, ere devil have fought
Was only Just a whlm;
Vain are the dangers have brRved,
The sacrifice they cost
For what fun Is IL to be saved,
II no one else Is loStH
Just think Suppose, when once I view,
The heaven I've tOiled to win,
A lot Of unsaved sinners, too,
Comes walkln' grandly inl
An acts to home, same m II they
Had read their titles clear,
An looks at me, as II to say,
We're glad to see you here r.
AS If to say, while you have ben
80 fast to toe the mark,
We waited till 1t rained, and then
Got tickets for the ark r.
Yet there would be some In that crowd
I'd rather like to sec:
My boy Jack-'t must be allowed
There was no worse than he
I've Away felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on thorns o. shame
To end his boyhood's days
An I'd be wlllin' to endure,
II that the Lord thought best,
A minutes quite hot temperature,
To clasp him to my breast,
Old Captain Barnes was evils SON
With heterodoxy crammed;
used to think he'd be the one
II any one was damned;
Still, when saw lot o. poor,
That he had clothed and fed,
Cry desolately round his door
As soon as he was dead,
There came thought couldn't control,
That In some neutral land,
I'd like to meet that scorched'up soul,
An shake II by the hand,
Poor Jennie Willis, with cry :,
OF hopeless, sad Distress
Sank sudden down one night to die,
All In her ball room dress,
She had a precious little while
To pack up and away;
She even left her sweet good smile
Twas on the face next day;
Her soul went off unclothed by even
One stitch of saving grace:
How could she hope to go to Heaven,
An start from such placer
But once, when lay sick an weak,
She came and begged to stay;
She kissed my faded, wrinkled cheek
And soothed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bouquets Of flowerl
AS fresh as her young heart
Through many long and tedious hours
She played Christian part;
An ere long will stand arOun'
The singin' saints among,
I'll try to take some water down,
To cool poor Jennies tongue.
But tears can never quenoh my creed
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown,
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their bibles upside down.
l hold mine right side up with care
To shield mine eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord, with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers I'M
But II the sinners won't draw nigh,
An take salvation's plan,
III have to stand an see em try
To dodge hell If they can.
