"NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME."
By Dwight Williams
THUS spake the hero Paul
As forward to the battle-field
He pressed with helmet, sword, and shield.
And witness of the dangers all,
The Holy Ghost to him made known
His trial, pain, and loss;
Yet he, undaunted, went alone
To meet his cross. Work for the heroes still
Have we; the battlements of wrong
Are high, and bold, and broad, and strong;
And love of heart and power of will
Must urge the soldier to the scene,
Where but the bravest dare
To force the breach and pass between
The volleys there. Soldier of Christ, fear not!
The chains and bonds which you await
Shall make the old world free and great;
No valiant deed shall be forgot;
And every word of love you speak
Shall have its sweet reward,
With blessings from the bruised and weak,
And Christ your Lord.
—Dwight Williams, in New York Witness.
