BY JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE
God sends duties to those who show themselves capable of duty, and power to those who are worthy of power.—Wm. McKinley.
There comes a time to Nations, as to man,
When God shall test them with a furnace fire,
Shall weigh them in the scales of His desire—
Predestined law of long predestined plan.
To him who measureth to the nobler span,
He maketh him a model and a chart,
Of all His ways a parcel and a part
Wherever Fate, His pulse of purpose, ran.
