By warfare, jealousy, or scorn,

Or hatred of their kind,

I’d fly, I’d fly, on the thunder crash,

And into their blinded bosoms flash;

And all their evil thoughts subdued,

I’d teach them Christian Brotherhood.

C. Mackay.

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.—II. Samuel, xxii. 19.
