THE FASTS TRUE CALL

Wanted strong men, to help make modern history,

Women, with strong white souls of heavenly mould, With minds of simple fath doroid of mystery

And hearts of purest gold,—

To help us share our Eastern sun-god's glory, Firm lips the Truth upholding, when in story

is told

The magic Glamour of the East

Wanted-keen" men with eyes that sock life's beauty,

That Igor "through nature up to nature's God, " Women, whose feet in paths of love and duty

Have over bravely trod,

To help our eyes to find in earth God's beaven, To temper glowing sunlight with the leaven

Of "fresh, cool streams and greenly verdant soď:

Wanted real man who scorn with real men's laughter

The morbid ancer at all things great and good, Wanted, roal women who will follow alter

All-glorious womanhood;

Men who can see God's strength in towering mountain, Women who rend God's love to blocan and fountain,

Where nature' changeless by His will has stood,

Brave men, who feel but pity for the craving

Of sickened souls for days with evil rife, Women who hear but favor in the raving

That is not peace, but strife Of souls who with delirium's grim insistence Uplift their crica that pierce with shame the distance,

The cries of death wherein they think is life!⠀⠀⠀

The spirit of the East her song is singing-

The great God made me and He loved mo well,' Then is it man. His image, who is bringing

Her glorics down to hell? May we not see her cast a brighter glamour ' Than that we hear of in men noisy clamour?

A radiance whereof cherasim might tell

O'er waves of sun and mist her song is falling With witchery and poetry and grace, The fair Far East is calling, calling, calling

For manhood's best of every clime, and race, To help her reise glad thanks, that weary never For all that makes life worth the great endeavour,- To still the voice of shame that hides forever From God's creation the Creator's face!
