"Like that strange angel which of old,
Until the breaking of the light
Wrestled with wandering Israel."
--Tennyson, To--.
| Ye Cannot Serve God and Mammon. | [205 L.J.] |
"We mean by war all that war ever meant,
Destruction's ministers, Death's freemen, Lust's
Exponents, daily like a blood-red dawn
In flames and crimson seas we shall advance
Against the ancient immaterial reign
Of Spirit, and our watchword shall be still,
Get thee behind me, God,--I follow Mammon."
--John Davidson, Mammon and His Message.
| Yoke of Bondage. | [507 H.T.] |
"Judah was a captive by the waters of Babylon
and the sons of Jacob were in bondage to our
kings . . . from the remnant that dwells in Judea
under the yoke of Rome neither star nor sceptre
shall arise."
--Henry Van Dyke, The Other Wise Man.
