PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE

Yo men exalted on life's plane By lucky lifts and scheming brain. Surrounded cen from childhood's hour By wealthy kin and fortunes dower; Who knoWeth not of tie lowly station, Of constant beclfOning to temptations: Hpw can ycu judge of every case Unless you change to the others place? How, can you know of the struggling
 hearts, Or heritage and its allied parts Of blindins storm and the darkened
 cloud Which the early lives Of men enshroud? Schools tell them not. nor churchly But more. far more. of mammons
 greed
 You learn not oft of the Christian s To put yourself in the tempted's place For Christ did this--the Nazarene- He taught mankind these things un-
 seen:
 Of acts of mercy and love to all, For high and low. for great and small Do you heed his preccpts. ye sordid Who are blind and deaf to human
 woes?
 You're false unless you turn your face And put yourselves in the others place Fancy q change from high estate To cities slums, to dens of fate. To their vicious schools, where children
 young
 Are reared in sin: where heart and
 tongue
 Learn naught but crime: where hunger
 reiSns,
 And ignorance pals anG vice enchains; Where hopes unknown with her cheer
 ing grace You live in thought in this darkened
 place.
 Ten thousand wrongs in this rushing
 world
 II the hidden scroll could be unfurled- Could righted be if it's class and caste Would study truths Eoth now and past. If honest men Of wealth and brain Would try to SOW more golden grain, The seeds of love for the human race Would grow and bloom in every place would not pessimistic be, But urge the truth. that all may see That justice be bestowed on all. That education may disenthrall Both rich and poor, both high and low: :: That brotherhood and love shall grow. This will surely come when We have the grace To put ourselves in each others place.
