Daughters Of Gideon.

I
Daughters Of Gideon.
The women ride by in a frOth OF lace,
Or furs like the oceans foam;
| tramp in the dust of the grimy
street
To the single room called home.
Their friends are the daughters of
ease and light,
And mine are the tOilers pale;
Yet we meet where the women seek
for right,
And we meet at the chancel rail.
No comrades We in daily stress,
No friends in their sunlit ease,
AS far apart as Dives feast
From Martha on her knees.
But now we march in a righteous
fight,
Save thoke in their guarded pale
Who would join with Wrong to drive
us back,
Yet kneel at the sacred rail.
Those sisters, in their peaceful homes,
Hold out their sunlit road
As the guerdon bright of ~womanhood,
While we, with our heavy load
Must walk with the are about our
feet
That only the workers know, +.
And pray that another world than

And yet, when the wrong that has
rent our hearts,
And the sin that has logged our

Shall crawl to the homes of happy
ones,
And bask in the light Of day
viii they close their eyes to their
sisters need,
And the wrong by their blindness
Z done, r.

When the home and the world are

They They are slaves who fear
to speak for the fallen and the weak;
they are slaves who will not choose
hatred, scoffing and abuse, rather
than In silence shrink from the truth
they needs must think; they are
slaves who dare not be lin the right
with two or three.-Lowell.

There is not a joyful boy or an in

poses Of duty, in all the street, full OF
eager and rosy faces, but a cynic car

add energy, inspire hope, and blow
the Goals into a useful flame; to re
