HUMAN SELFISHNESS.

We go our way in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all our kind
Too often we are dead to sigh and moan
zoo often to the weak and helpless blind
roo often where distress and want abide,
We turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side is trodden smooth. and worn
BY footsteps passing idly all the day.
Where lie the bruised ones that faint and
mourn
Is seldom more than an untrOdden way.
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide
They lead US by upon the other side.
It should be ours the oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones;
To take the smitten and the sick and sore.
And bear them where Il stream of blessing
runs.
Instead we look about-the way is wide,
And so we pass upon the other side.
Oh, friends and brothers, gliding down the
years
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born of grief and tears.
pray you, listen to the thrilling call.
You cannot in your cold and selfish pride,
Pass guiltlessly by on the other side.
