A book whose statement may mean anything
Just as if suited Fancy's soaring wing-
And as this latitude to long a Rope

Men straightway sanctified and made a Pope-
So o'er men's minds appalling darkness curled
And the dark ages fell upon the world.

Then when CHRIST sent The Reformation Day,
And with Imperial hand had swept away
The Cobwebs and the foul dirt on His Truth,
The stalwart souls no longer were fear mute,
Spread it abroad in words of thunder tone:
"We're justified by Faith and that alone!"
Alas, except in dilatory way

The ancient Hope of CHRIST'S Returning Day
Held in abeyance-and a dream at best-
Soon did Church Leaders openly protest
At such delusion-making it a jest.

And from the hardness of men's hearts there spread
A pride of Intellect by Satan bred

In holding out to man in new disguise

By knowledge "ye shall be as God-all-wise !"

So "Verifying Faculty" arose

And like a snake it coiled its deadly close
Around GOD's Truth, and by its deadly slime
Men deemed for them it was no deadly crime
To criticise-and brand GOD's Truth as lies!

What, call me Pessimist-Demon, you lie! I stand an Optimist, my hope as high As highest heaven-I stand without a fear Within my soul, the song of Hope rings clear

There is an ending to your Demon Reign-
Hear you, JEHOVAH CHRIST comes back again!
I put no trust in man nor his desires,
False are the visions to which he aspires-

I count the work of man as little worth-
He cannot raise the world-nor clean the earth
Of any of sins' blighting curses-he is weak
As water-what the blind, false Churches seek
In elevating of the Human Race

Will end in failure, and in sad disgrace-
For only Life and Hope in CHRIST alone,
Evil by His hand only overthrown,

No other help we want-we want no other

But HIS OUR LORD, OUR MASTER, ELDER BROTHER, Who can redeem our spirit, Body, soul—

Hold all of evil under His control,

And usher in the grand Redemptive Day

When Holiness and Peace shall Love display!

Base Unclean Spirit! Surely you can grin.
For cheating and Defrauding wretched men-
Your sophistry through ages has fell fruit,
Now the Professing Church is strangely mute
Of that One Hope of Christian in Past Ages
Hope of Youth, the Stalwart men, and Sages—
When the Whole Gospel was proclaimed to man
Churches believing CHRIST's outspreading Plan.

CHRIST shall not always have His World disgracedThe superscription of His Love defaced,

But all Humanity shall see all plain

How fair the World was once-and will again!
For HE shall take her, make her fair to see,
A Perfect Pearl of Sparkling Purity!

A world indeed without a single flaw,

With Love the first, and Love the only Law,
A Perfect Home of Peace, of Joy, of Light,
With Dwellers stalwart, brawny to the sight,
Sickness unknown-and Poverty a myth,
All Nations in sweet fellowship be knit,
Children of Canaan white as any others
Tho' varied Races one and all are Brothers.
An act of crime would make the world aghast,
Days of Rebellion to the CHRIST are past—
Unknown The Brothel and its fouling sink,
No makers nor dispensers of vile drink;
The theatres are purified and clean,

The mad, lascivious dance is never seen

The cheat-Usurers' tables are o'erthrown

The Wolves of Commerce dead-such Race unknown-
The Spoilers of the Poor, who made more dear
The Bread, the meat, the oil, are never here-
No Labor Unions for THE LORD CHRIST stands
With Capital and Labor in His hands,
No thought of unequality may lurk,
Full wages paid for each day's honest work,
No shirking work-no shirking of full pay-
No Trading Combinations to betray
The Public, nor competitor-but light
On every action-free and above board-
No piling up by fraud a secret horde-

A blessed Race-Spread over fruitful lands
O'ershadowed by the Loving, Pierced hands.

But now your Devil's cunning is so base
Deadliest Incubus on Human Race;

Tho' Satan hides from men his potent power
Like a black cloud of villainy you lower
All gruesome, ghastly, venomous, unclean,
Haters, despisers of all good, obscene,
Pressing Humanity to depths of guilt
Of blood, of rapine, plunder, and of filth,
'Til one is all appalled to think of it -—
Surely to CHRIST the earth must seem a pit
Of Creatures maimed, and crippled, and defaced,
Of Creatures rotten, foul smelling, and disgraced,
Of creatures lower than the beasts, debased
In mind, in heart, in body, and in soul,
Completely under Lucifer's control.

Wrecks of the True and Beautiful we find
On Earth, in sea, as well as human kind-
The broken strata of the rocks declare
Confusion ghastly scattered everywhere;
The ever-restless sea in storm and moans
Tells how her depths disgraced by human bones,
The millions lie uncoffined in waste place,
And she so weary of the dire disgrace.

Prince Satan surely most amused when those Who should have been his most determined foes, The so-called Ministers of CHRIST, denounce The Fable of a Devil-and renounce

The passages of Creed wherein 'tis told

The Devil a Deceiver from of old

That they who hold such faith lacked common sense"No Devil-sin was but an influence!"

(Poor fools to think an Influence could be
Without behind it-Personality!)

Christless but learned men can spue more froth
Of foolishness than dreamed by Idiotic thought-
Their hatred of GOD's Word is so intense
They seem to lose the poise of Common sense;
The Wildest of Hypotheses obtain,

Like as a snake, a lodgment in their brain,

They twist and turn the plainest words and make
The Words of GOD the hiss words of The Snake;
So reprobate their minds they cannot see
They only utter Devil's Blasphemy—

They question every thought in Written Word-
Nor hesitate to say-"A Forgery"-"Absurd"-
And the most daring of their Hellish School
Intimate plainly-Either CHRIST a Fool
Or Ignoramus-For He made His claim
Rest on the Words that Moses never wrote!
If we believe the nonsense from the throat
Of these Blasphemers Glorying in their Shame,
And with the lying words they dare to speak
They turn to honest People-and have cheek
To say, since they believed those things their mind
More spiritual-and they most truly find

More blessing from The Christ than e'er before-
(An ignorant or lying CHRIST they now adore)
A Spiritual Alchemy has given

From Brew of Hell-a nectar labeled Heaven.
