THE TORCH OF REASON, SILVERTON, OREGON, OCTOBER 26, 1899.
For the Torch o f Reason.
T he W a r God Bounced.
BY JOHN PRESCOTT G UILD.
Mad m en in arm s appeal
To th e ir wild “ God of W a r”
To m ore inflam e th e ir zeal
For him th e y ’re fighting for.
A p ray er from both th e ran k s
Of m ortal enem ies
Goes up to h eaven’s banks
For h e lp from o u t th e skies.
W hen strew n th e bloody field
W ith h u m an b ro th ers slain,
W hen life th e w ounded yield
A nd groan in gory pain,
T hen from th e v icto rs’ ran k s
T h ere ascends loud acclaim ,
To give th e W ar God th a n k s
F o r m aking sure th e ir aim .
W hy should a God of W ar
Be w anted in th e strife ?
Men are too m ad by far
To need his b u tc h e r knife.
L et each and every ran k
T h en h ail th e peaceful s ta r,
T h e ir arm s no longer clank,
B u t bounce th e God of W ar.
which undeveloped minds are fed
on, until they evolve into the differ­
ent species known as the “elite.”
O, soul needing a savior, be careful
whose name you sign to a cheque, I
and, above all, look out for th e •
priest’s I AM cheques; they are no I
good. Don’t accept them or fill
them out even by faith. If a bro-1
ker would come to you and say
that I AM sent him, you would]
think him either crazy, or that he
w’as trying to fool you. Mysterious
humbug!
