RETOR T
Censorious, with hard appraising eyes You judge mankind in your chill purity—But the poor Magdalen is hearer God It seems to me.
The thief who begged for mercy on the Cross The penitent spurned by the Pharisee— These were the iffearesj to that broken Heart On Calvary.
Nearer to Christ that woeful Magdalen, That son reclaimed, and that poor sorry thief. Than you —bereft of all humanity And of belief. DOROTHY FRANCES PERRY Christchurch.
