Truth forever on the scafo!d, Wrong for

Yet that scn;iold sways the future, and

Standeth God within the shadow, keeping
watch above His own
We see -dimly in the Present what Is small

Slow of faith how weak an arm may turn
the iron helm OF fate,
But the soul is still oracular; amid the

List the ominous stern whisper, from the

They ensave their children's children
who make compromise with sin"
Then to side with truth is noble when we
share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and

Then il is the brave man chooses, while
the coward lands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit, till his Lord

And the multitude make virtue of the
