SOME CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTIONS.
To tlinso wlki drench the world in gnre To satisfy their and greed, Who stain the very name of wai By every foul and hideous deed. To those uliose claim is proudly won Tn lie Beelzebub's elect, To all that l>ear the name of Hun I conscientiously olijoct!
To those whose sloth would still delay Our vengeance on the robber horde, Whose weakness would postpone the day When lust shall perish by the sword, To those who temporise with fate Lest some old idol may he wrecked, To all whose work is done. ''Too kite'* I conscientiously object!
To those who eat the bread of life Won by a nation's blood and tears, But shrink as cowards from the fray Through unctuous creed or craven fears, To all who cry the war must cease, To every mean and selfish sect That still blasphemes the name of peace I conscientiously obiect! -TOUCHSTONE, in tli? "Daily Mail."
