The Fifth Demonstration
ORDER SWORD .
But who is this, in humble weeds, with Cross and Cord and Scrip,
This man impetuous, resolved to share our fellowship?
With " pure ablutions " thoroughly washed, with " patience sorely tried, "
Waiting to have instructions from the one unerring Guide !
Welcome the stranger, — give him bread, — his water cruse supply;
Cheer him with comfortable words; his tears of weakness dry;
'Tis written in Heaven's Chancery that they who help the poor
Shall find their deeds remembered when they knock at Heaven's door.
Then cover ye their nakedness, who, poor and friendless, come!
Fling wide your Asylums, N OBLE K NIGHTS , and give the homeless home!
Strike manfully, Brave H EROES , when the defenseless call,
And with your comrades conquering stand , or with your comrades fall .
