In one of our churches Sunday evening,
The preacher spoke on Idols,
And told about the fate,
Of deserving missionaries:
His speech was simply great,
Sympathetic and effecting,

Among our city poor:
But our exchanges tell Us,
They are starving at our door;
Think of it my readers,
In this bounteous land of ours;
People are starving,
In the Penny's Railroad Towers;
People gaunt and hungry,
Pitiful TO see;
No strength to touch lever

Those noble manly fellows,
With only monthly pay,

Till he found fatted pig
And spared not time nor money,
Drove through ram and sleet
And brought the toothsome spare rib,
For the hungry ones to eat

Rise up in their might,
Nail their banners to the wall,
Make ready for the fight,
And tell the public robbers
Drunk with greed and power,
They must excuse but never abuse
