Once to every man and nation Cornes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with f alse- hood, For the good or evil sîde; Sorne great cause, God's new rnessiah, Offering each the bloom or blight; And the choice 'goes by for ever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and prof it, And Itis prosperous to be just; While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue 0f the faith they had denied. By the light o! burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bieeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the Cross that turns flot back. New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward stili and onward Who would keep abreast o! truth. Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong,- Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above Ris own. Amen. This fine lîterary gem was written by James Russell Lowel who reached a high niche in America's arch of farne. It strikes a responsive cord in our hearts in these troublous times. The pity is that an author who could pro- duce such lines had not devoted miore of his literary talent to hymn writing. This is the only one from. Lowell's pen appearing in our hymnaries. Lowell was of sacerdotal par- entage; his father and great grandfather were clergymen and he had a strong inclination to- wiard the ministry but decided upon the law for a career. 11e was descended from a family of English gentlemen, one of whorn, Percival Lowell, emigrated to America in 1639. The Lowell family took an active part in the early political and judiciai life of the Uinted States. The author himself served as Ambassador to Spain and later to England. It is said that, due to the in- fluence of his sweetheart, whom he married in 1840, he devoted himself to literature rather than to law for which he had taken his degree. She was the daughter of a rich merchant of Watertown, Mass., highly accomplished and herseif the author of rnany poems of real menit. Lowell sympathized deeply with the sufferings of the negroes and was an ardent abolitionist.
