THE world is full of selfishness and greed.
Lord, I would lave its sin.
Yea, mortal, earth of thy good help has need.
Go cleanse thyself within.
Mine ear is hurt by harsh and evil speech.
I would reform men’s ways.
There is but one convincing way to teach.
Speak thou but words of praise.
On every hand is wretchedness and grief,
Despondency and fear.
Lord, I would give my fellow men relief.
Lord, I look outward and grow sick at heart,
Such need of change I see.
Mortal, look in. Do thy allotted part,
And leave the rest to ME.
A WEED is but an unloved flower!
Go dig, and prune, and guide, and wait,
Until it learns its high estate,
And glorifies some bower.
A weed is but an unloved flower!
All sin is virtue unevolved,
Release the angel from the clod—
Go love thy brother up to God.
Behold each problem solved.
All sin is virtue unevolved.
WHO is the strong? Not he who puts to test
His sinews with the strong and proves the best;
But he who dwells where weaklings congregate,
And never lets his splendid strength abate.
Who is the good? Not he who walks each day
With moral men along the high, clean way;
But he who jostles gilded sin and shame,
Yet will not sell his honor or his name.
A short sample. Read the whole book
