Her View of 1t.

Last eve sought the nearest church
And heard a gifted parson preach.
He talked of men whose days were
o'er
Two thousand years ago or more;
He said no word of those who strive
In this old world to keep alive,
Who fight their battles every day
Obscurely, in their feeble way.
I'd just as soon be in the dark
Concerning Father Noah's ARK;
Icare not for the tents of Baal
Or Joseph's corn, or Jonah's whale;
I'd rather learn something to cheer
Some hopeless toiler struggling here
Than learn how Pharoah blew his
ssdough,"
About FIVE Thousand years ago.
The things Of which the pastor talks
Are dead as Adams brindle OK;
But all around us there are cries
And wringing hands and weeping
eyes.
He'll have to get his text on straight
And bring his gospel up to date.
