Tia Ener Pre.cnt Crisis.

Onco 70 every man and nation comes tho mo-
ment 20 decide.
In tho strife Of truth with falsehood, for tho
good or evil side;
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah, Offering
each the bloom or blight.
Parts the goats upon the left hand and tho
sheep upon the right,
And tho choice goes by forever twiNt that
darkness and that light.
Careless seems the great avenger; history's
pages but record
One death erappe in the darkness twixt old
systems and the Word;
Truth forever on the scahold, Wrong forever
on the throne
Yet that scafioid s,yays the future. and behind
the dim unknown
siandcfh God within tho shadow, keeping
watch above his own.
Then to side with truth is noble when we share
her wretched crust.
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and It's
prosperous 70 be just
Then Sc is the brave man chooses, while tho
coward stands aside,
Doubling 10 his AFFECT spirit TIL his Lord IS
cruched
And the multitude make virtue OF the faith
they had denied.
For humanity sweeps onward; where today me
martyr stands,
On the morrow crouches Judas, with the silver
ia his hands.
Far In front the cross stands ready and tho
cracking fagOts burn,
While the looting mob OF yesterday In silent
awe return
To CLEAN UP the scattered ashes into history's
golden urn.
They have rights who dare maintain them; vs.
are traitors 10 our sires,
Smotherng in their holy ashes freedoms new
lit altar fires;
Shall we make their creed onr jailerf Shall
We. in our haste 10 slay
From the t0mbs OF the old parties steal the
funeral lamps away
To light up the martyr fagots round tho proph-
cts Of today.
New occasions teach new duties; Time makes
ancient good uncOutL,
They must upward still and onward who would
keep abreast of Truth;
10, before us CLEAN our camp fires We ourselves
must pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayhower and steer boldly through
the desperate SEA,
Nor attempt the futures portals with the past's
blood rusted key.
