"THE VICTORIOUS THREE"

i " Ancient prophesies of Holy Writ, With modern events, truly fit. Increase of knowledge was foretold, More travelling than in days of old.. Conferences that Avould bring no peace, But, cause-wars horrors to increase. Eden's outcasts slowly acquired Knowledge, that left much to be; desired. Eve's domestic efforts, Adam's husbandry, •Compared with modern industry Are aeous apart—war's, murderous art To the aftermath of guilty Gain, iWho was driven by the goading pain Of hate and envy that doth daily . stain Modern progress with innocent blood, out much intended good. Cold science, cold steel, explosives h.'^h., Making earth a shambles beneath God Is s!<y. Beggaring many, enriching a few ' ' Who claim to be. making our old world new. "Make money!" The hell-born slogan that smothers The voice that constrains men to be brothers. Science with material problems plods, Accepting evolution, rejecting God's Wisdom, that alone, can set men free Through the medium of the Trinity, Of Faith and Hope and Charity ; Blessing, and for ever blest, Proved worth}' of leading mankind * best; With the heavenly gift of a heart and. in hid, Trained to be fast, true and kind.
