We deplore the age of Reason"
That demands human sign
To affirm the faith that sees not
Yet believes the Word Divine.
We denounce the world as Goddess.
And bewail Christ's sighted love;
But | think the angels chide u.s.
As they gave from skies above
For church has been my neighbor,
And my outlook day by day
Has been teaching me the lesson
That faith has not died away,
And my proof that modern Christians
Keep the fervent souls of yore
Are the men whose hats are lifted
As they pass the church's door.
From the schoolboy with his satchel,
To the old man with his cane;
From the rich man in his carriage,
To the tramp that all disdain;
From the coal carts smutty driver,
To the youth in fashions neat;
From the postman on his circuit
To the officer OH beat;
From the child whose heart is spotless
To the man whom sins defile;
From the mourner bowed with sorrow,
To the jester with his smile;
From the strong with life before him,
To the weak whose span is DER
One and all lift hats in homage,
As they pass the church's door.
Now and then boy looks shamefaced
And blushing youth looks shy;
Here and there a man lags backward
Till his comrades have passed by;
Or a timid hand is lowered
Ere it gains the hat-brim's height,
For the laughter of the wording
Puts the craven's faith to flight
Yet the grace of God sufices
Natures cowardice to shame.
And the courage of conviction"
Is but Honor's better name
For the human loves the loyal:
And its glory bides in store
For the men whose hats are lifted
As they pass the churchs door.
Oh, | think reward turks even
In the reverent action done;
For the schoolboy's eyes are happy
AS he passes on a run;
And the rich mans face is softer,
And the vagrant stands erect.
And the coal cart driver whistles,
And the dude gains self-respect.
And the postman's step is lighter,
And the officer looks mild;
And the man of sin smiles gently
On the sinless little child;
And the sad and glad seem kindred,
Who were aliens before;
And the strong and weak are brothers
As they pass the church's door.
For the Captive of the chalice-
Peters sacrificial Dove
Is the God of peace and concord,
And the Christ of tender love-
And His gentle benediction
Rests upon His faithful own.
Who salute the worlds Redeemer
On His sacramental throne!
So the smile of the Good Shepherd
Speeds His flock upon Life's way,
Through the earthly shadows drifting
Towards the dawn of heavens day
And though sin and sorrow menace,
Yet Gods blessing hovers Ger

For walking skirts the smartest

are trimmed very similarly to the long
