IN DARKEST GERMANY.
(Being a humble appeal to English Divines, suggested by the attitude of Teuton Professors to the Belgian atrocities.)
Hear me, most noble missionaries who,
Toiling on Africa's half-tutored shore,
Had words quite recently at Kikuyu
Whereof the motley bard may say no more.
I would not dare to judge of warring creeds;
It may be that the dark-skinned Hottentot
Has skill to balance up his spirit's needs
And know that this is truth and that is not.
