The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-03-07

The fool, as Time whirled it's weary
way,
Became a professor, honored and gray;
The schoolmaster worked from his low
position
And became national politician;
The brainy chap lost his mind; the
!. crook
Became priest, with his cowl and
And the crazy man recovered his mind
While the knave took to saving his
fellOw-kind;
And only one stuck to his trade, of
the seven
The preacher kept preaching Of He'll
and Heaven.
There were seven men, there we're
seven minds,
There were seven humans of seven
kinds;
And none who had known in their ear
ly days
These men who travelled their seven
ways,
Would have thought that the crook
would parson be.
Or the knave would have taken up
humanity.
But you never can tell-and the moral
is here:
Don't accept things always as they
appear,
For under the gristle and skin and
bone
Is something that works in a way of
its own
And you never may know the saint
from the knave
This side of the edge Of the common
grave.
Eleven o'clock having arrived ac-
cording to the custom of the Order a
