"STONE THE WOMAN-LET THE MAN GO FREE.” Yes, tone the woman-let the man go free:
chance touch
Her garments as she passes; but to him Put forth a willing hand to clasp with his That led her to destruction and disgrace. Shut up from her the sacred ways of toil,
That she no more may win an honest meal; But ope to him all honorable patha,
joyn;
Pase her, O maiden, with a pure, proud face, If she puts out a poor, polluted palm; But lay thy hand in his on bridal day, And swear to eling to him with wifely love And tender reverence. Trust him who led A sister woman to a fearful fate.

Let one soul suffer for the guilt of two- It is the doctrine of a hurried world, Too out of breath for holding balances Where nice distinctions and injustices Are calmly weighed. But ab, how will it be On that strange day of final fire and flame, When men shall wither with a mystis fear, And all shall stand before the one true Judge? Shall we make then a difference in sin? Shall He, the Searcher of the hidden heart, In bis eternal and divine doarpe, Çondems the woman and forgive the man ?

Baby is planted out for evermore in the dank and weedy little cemetery that lies on
