OF INTEREST IN THE
The Last Proof Reader
When the story of Mammon is printed
And the binder has laid down his tools;
When none of the facts have been
stinted—
And the deeds of the wise and the fools
Have been written by prophets and
sages—
And bound in the rawhide of man;
Then God will blue-pencil its pages,
As only the Almighty can.
He will see the proud kings of the ages
As they rot in their filigreed graves,
And measure their virtues withguages
That he’ll use for both masters and
slaves;
While princes whose caskets were
freighted
With laurel wreaths, honors and flags,
May find that their souls have been
rated
’Neath beggar man buried in rags.
So in the long it is better
To lead our lives humbly contrite;
Find truth, live up to the letter,
With hearts free from rancor and spite;
For the great proof-reader is tracing
Man’s record straight back to the flood,
And we hope for a merciful placing
In the book that is printed in blood.
—New York Herald.
