1t Wa. the Road to Jericho.

By ANNIE FELLOWS JOHNSTON.
1t was the road to Jericho,
And brave indeed the man
Who went alone and waited not
To join the caravan.
For robber hordes swOoped down the cliffs
Like eagles on their prey,
And mercy was not known to them,
Theirs but to kill and slay.
Along the road to Jericho
A man went riding by,
He heard II grOan of mortal pain,
He heard II piercing cry.
He got him down from of his beast,
He found the one who bled.
The thieves had bruised and beaten him
And left him well nigh dead.
trhc Levite and the priest had passed,
The calls to them were vainD.
He bound his wounds. With oil and wine
He cased the grievous pain.
Then to the inn he carricd him
And paid the Keepers price.
.ss enc who docs Il dred fer love.
Nor counts it's sacrifice.
Lo. as he passed upcn his way.
His robe it showed II stain
Two red marks on his white Sleeve. where
The bleeding head had lain.
Two red. red lines which made Il cross.
And marked him the man
Whose name is. till the end of time,
" The Good Samaritan.
The world pressed toward it's Jericho.
The goal of it's desire
Its marts. its pleasures and its shrincs.
! Its dreams Of great empire
\ hoard of gold it bore along
TO barter and to buy.
| Eat TN tllc road, by thieves Ersct
| II, too, was left to die.
| The Son of God came down that WAY
| To sueteur and to save,
| To bind its wounds. to heal Its sin.
| To lift it from the grave.
| Lo lie. too. went upon his way
/ When flc had paid the price,
/ Marked by the red red lines that make
! The cress OF Sacrifice.
/ New onward to our Jericho
| We press with bated breath,
/ For evil grows the way. and dark.
I On every hand stalks death.
] The roi,hcr hortics that strip and slay
| FAX. more than gold. forsOoth,
| They kill our holicst OF Hopes
| They take all Lovc--all Youth
Oh. who shall staunch such Worldwide
Such universe Of pain?
/ And who has oil and wine enough!
] And must they cry in vain!
Nay. TIN the road to Jericho
i There be a million now.
! Who bear Christ's pity in their hearts.
His sign upcn their brow.
| And millions more shall follow them
To bind and to restore.
/ Till all the highway Is made safe
And war shall be no more.
| Now God give grace to all who bear.
/ And may His love suffice
| TO bI:,ze upon each heart this day
