Past And Present.
2 ss SPIRIT : — Men murder , rob , and foully men betray , And throw the precious gifts of life away ; 'Tis money—Mammon , lust , and stupid pride , That bringeth man to end Avith suicide . Situ SPIRIT : —
The better station giv ' n by God to man , The greater trust , and yet Ave see a ban By mortals placed on honest working men , And labour turned to hardship now and then . 1 ST SPIRIT : — Eespect is due from class to class , and more ,
A solemn duty ' s laid at every door ; All men are equal , taken man for man , — The social grade is but a Avorldly plan .
2 HD SPIRIT-. — The millions toiling for each other ' s good Are helping all to gather daily food ; Their Avork essential , purpos'd as a whole , The round of life to fill , the mind control . 3 RD SPIRIT : — All things designed by the Almighty ' s Hand
, Have one harmonious Avhole , sublimely plann'd ; Mysterious the Source , the Power Divine , That maketh Seasons change and stars to shine , 1 ST SPIRIT : — We see His Goodness reigning evervAvhere , And float with happy spirits through the air ;
With rapture passing on from sphere to sphere , We sweetest sounds of heav ' nly music bear . 2 ND SPIRIT : — The seraphs singing to then golden lyres Are only beard by souls redeemed from sin ; The song tbey sing each spirit form inspires With holy joy , as they tbe praise join in .
OBD SPIRIT : — Transcendent are the realms of Bliss and Li ght , . The Plains Celestial , fill'd Avitb glory bright ; Empyrean the vast expanse and range , With scenes serene and grand , that never change . 1 ST SPIRIT : — Abiding . joy tbe Angel-host e ' er feel
, And ever blest before Jehovah kneel ; 'Midst dazzling glory they His Form behold In Majesty upon the throne of gold . # # # * * The spirit voices ceased , I felt alone ; -My thoughts were ling'ring o ' er the golden throne ,
And boAV at first man , formed of humble clay , In God's oAvn image , saw the light of day . With sinking heart methought of Adam ' s fall , The Serpent's guile , the sinfulness of all , Of man ' s estate , how carelessly he lives , Receiving all , from G-od , but little gives . And nature ' s laws he too will disregard , Abuse ber bounties much , and think it hard
