Christ Crucifed.

Now, ere slept, my prayer had been
that might see my way
To do the will of Christ, our Lord
and Master, day by day,
And with this prayer upon my lips
knew not that / dreamed,
But suddenly the world Of night a
pandemonium seemed.
From forest and from slaughter
house, from bull ring and from
stall,
There rose an anguished call,
As mantle dumb beasts next OF
kin-with gun and whip and
knife
Went pleasure seeking through the
earth, blood-bent on taking life.
From trap and cage and house and
zoo and street that awful strain
OF tortured creatures rose and swell
led the orchestra Of pain.
And then methought the gentle
as Christ appeared to me. and spoke:
81 called you, but We answered not"
!. and in my fear woke.
Again Iaslept, ! seemed to climb
hard ascending track, Z
And just behind me labored one
whose patient face was black.
II pitied him, but hour by hour he
gained upon the path.
He stood beside me, stood upright
and then turned in wrath.
Go back!" cried. What right
have you to walk beside me here?
For you are black and am white"
paused, struck dumb with fear,
For 10! the black man was not there,
but Christ stood in his place;
And oh, the pain, the pain, the pain
that looked from that dear face.
Then next I heard the roar OF mills,
and moving through the noise,
Like phantoms in an underworld,
were little girls and boys.
Their backs we're bent, their
brows were pale. their eyes were
sad and old,
But by the labor OF their hands
greed added gold to gold.
Again the Presence and the Voice:
Behold the crimes ! see,
As We have done 1t unto these, so
have We done to me-"
Now when I woke the air was rife
with that sweet rhymic din
Which tells the world that Christ
has come to save mankind from sin.
And through the open door of church
and temple passed throng,
To worship Him with Bonded knee.
| with sermon and with song.
But over all l heard the cry of hunt
ed, mangled things
Those creatures which are part OF
God, though they have hoofs and
wings.
/ saw in mill and mine and shop the
little slaves of greed
IL heard the strife with race, all
sprung from one God-seed-
And then bowed my head in shame
and in contrition cried:
10, after nineteen hundred years.
Christ still Is Crucified."
