.■ME OUR BODIES THEN OUR . souls. : [Copied From The Bulletin.] those clergymen to whom they may apply these verses are dedicated.) slark! the Sabbath-bells are ringing from the churches' lofty spires, Into proud cathedrals bringing hearts that throb with base desires, Ere ye preach in polished diction of the future, vast and dim, Ere ye emphasise some fiction with a pious , prayer or hymn, . .. .Listen to that thrilling summons that your brazen bell still tolls, Sava! oh save! the people's bodies, and ye then may save theirsouls!". Is it fiery zeal and fervent, that which gives puch haughty mion -To you proud and stately servant of the lowly ftazarene! While ha rides in cushioned carriage by ' those fast high-steppers drawn: •To some money-monger's marriage, deck'din lace and sleeves of lawn; Does he hear those mournful murmurs when he takes his tithes and toll?,. '"Give us food! we die of hunger? Save our bodies, then our souls!"' What made man the slave we see him, but your soul destroying laws, "When true hearts have fought to free him, did ye help the holy cause? "No lye sought to forge the fetters for earth's Mroes true and brave, -Men whose names in gleaming letters blaze as meteors round each grave, Menwho marched to death undaunted, Truth and Right their only goals; 'ln your love, so loudly vaunted, have ye tried to save their souls ? -While ye pour out wea'th like water, sending fwrth your mission bands, Pioneers of fire and slaughter in a hundred heathen lands; jFrom your fever-stricken alleys, from your cities' squalid Sweeping through fair sunlit valleys as a risinsr tempest comes With a rumbling 3ound like thunder when mong mountain rocks it rolls—''Giveus work! or food-we're starving! Save our bodies, then our sonls!" Will ye dare to meet the Master when before His judgment seat 1 Placed with those who've journeyed faster, though they walked with bleeding ; feet-. ■ ♦ Cold and hungry, tired and. naked, all who i'e sinned and suffered hereAll who've died of thirst unslaked in life's deserts, dread and drear, When the great Recording Angel there his radiant scroll unrolls, Dare ye say -: 11 We sav3d their bodies, then we sought to save their souls?" . __ Maoriland.
