Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight of his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold.

Side 224 - Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me ' ? Christians are those who have Christ's spirit, as I think, and sacrifice themselves to save others.
Side 10 - Although for crime arraigned, And proofs may cluster thickly round By circumstance maintained ; He may be innocent and stand Before his Maker's sight A spotless one, more pure than you, Who THINK you act the right. And can ye give him life again, Or mete him right for wrong, If future time should prove the guilt May somewhere else belong? Then, DARE ye swing your Brother's form High up in Heaven's free air, When time may tell, an innocent Has been suspended there? Suppose he did it — and suppose...
Side 8 - Who gave you power to read his heart, Or know how deep his guilt, Or judge what provocation came Ere blood by him was spilt? Can ye retrace the length of years Since he commenced this life, And mark the coursing of events, His wrongs, his woes, his strife?
