THE SINFULNESS OF MAN.

We are sifting put the sinfulness that marred our olden creeds. From the vineyards where we labor we are thinning out the weeds. We are building for the future to a nobler, better plan; For the world has caught the vision ot the sinfulness of man. We have put the past behind us, as the . sturdy pioneers Saw within the Ungled forest Wil the glory of the years; So we face our trials calmly, for beyond them we" can see The greater goals of freedom and the world that is to be. These are days of self-denial; these are times tor sacrifice; —-7 It Is freedom we are gaining and each - - one muat pay the prica.——. We are drawing close together with a common end in view; For the greater joys we dream of we've a common task to do. We are sifting out the sinfulness that marred us iri the past. For the light of truth is shining through the clouds of doubt at last; We are building for the future to a larger, better plan, For all eyes have caught the vision of the sinfulness of man. —Charles Davis, Sing Sing, «8,809.
