THE WORSHIPPERS
Wo Sing was just a heathen blind,
A dull insensate clod.
Yet somehow to his darkened mind,
There came a thought of God.
He shaped an idol out of clay,
An to it bowed his knee;
No one had taught him how to pray,
Alas, the poor Chinee.
Ari artist took his brush and paint,
And on his canvass board,
He'wrought a picture of a saint,
And called it Christ, the Lord
With patient hand, and wondrous skill,
Retouched that kindly face
But thought it ever lacking still,
In majesty and grace!
A preacher in his pulpit stood,
His words the people trust,
His message was, that God is good,
Arid knows mankind is dust.
He drew a picture of a Lord,
Omniscient, pure and kind,
His thoughts, His purposes, His word,
Too high for human mind.
The Kaiser has conceived a god,
`411sac. To rule o'er sea and land,
With strong, remorseless iron rod,
In Hohenzollern hand; •
A god who honours lies and fraud,
And mean by hypocricy,
A boastful, bloody, brutal god,
The god of Germany.
And thus we all our idols make,
As our conception is
And pray our Father. but to take,
Our helpless hands in His;
To give us each a ray of hope,
To each a message bring,
Each king and kaiser, priest and pope,
• Each humble, poor Wo Sing.
