THE CRY
Whesxever there is silence around me, By day or by night, I am startled by the ery, "Take me down from the Cross !" The first time I heard it I went out and searched, T'ill I found a man in the throes of crucifixion. And I said: will take you down," And I tried to take the nail out of his - feet. But he said: "Let be; For I cannot be taken down Till every man, every woman, every child Come together to take me down." And I said: "But I cannot bear your cry— what can I do?" And he said.: "Go about the world, Telling everyone you meet: 'There is a man upon the Oross'." "Sin may come upon you as a surprise, But do not let it dwell witli \ ou as a guest."
