The Coming 7'ower
THE SONS OF MARY

The Sons Of Martha have not to worry-of
that their tetrarchs will take good
care;
And they care not whit for the Sons Of
Mary, what they must suffer or how
they fare.
The Sons Of Martha demand an increase (s
favorte indoor game that they play) ::
They spout and they riot until they win it
and Mary's Sons are the lads that pay.
The Sons Of Mary in all the ages have
dared the venture and taken the
chance
They explore earth's riches and plan tho
bridges, invent the machinery, design
the plants.
1t Is through them that on every workday
the Sons Of Martha have work to do,
1t Is through them that on every payday the
Sons of Martha get every sou.
They say to the railways. "Be ye fashioned I"
They say to the ships OF the air. Go,
fy."
They train the youth and they heal the
stricken: the tears Of the mourner
they help to dry.
They draft the maps and they paint the
pictures they carve the statue the
speech they speak
While the Sons of Martha are seeking solely
to do less labor for more per week
The Sons of Mary their lives have given to
fight the fever and purge the filth;
They graft the scion, they grow the blossom
they keep the fields of the world in
tilth.
They write the book and they chant the
poem, they make the music and dream
the dream;
They to the Truth bear unselfsh witness :;
they have the vision, they the
Clean
! They do not preach that their only duties
are spreading dissension and going on
strike:
They do not teach that it's square and de-
cent to scamp their work as they
damn we'll like.
They aim to uphold mind of fairness, not
class suspicion and social strife.
They, too. must think Of making a living
but they sometimes think of making
life.
And the Sons OF Martha esteem this silly.
convinced that Fortune will yield
reward
70 him that has the most brazen thorax,
the lightest head and the strongest
sword
This, it seems, is the sum of their Credo-
this is the way their reasoning runs ::
Lets force the birthr9ht and seize the
blessing, and lay the burden on Mary's
Sons! 7! G. S. b.
Until it is possible to understand the
words of an English operetta or opera,
say, in English, we shall not oppose
the performance Of German opera in
German. Like Bunker Bean, we can
imagine nothing of less consequence.
