MICE SILENCE AND GLOOM.
CMice, Silence and Gloom is DR. Edward Iud-
sons descriptive summary Of the occupants of
most churches during all but few hours of each
week.
We dubbed together we raised the money
We built temple God
We hired preacher with doctrines sunny
For we have outgrown the rod.
And three hours weekly Gin pleasant weather)
We use the family pew;
We chafe a little at even this tether
Ana that must certainly do.
Three hours Of worship one hundred and fftv
The church is a bOted room.

Give over TO mice and gloom
We're not contented with two per cent
As a worldly of gain.
We sometimes wonder: Is God content
Or is II the gift OF Cain?
