They have not slain each other ; Christians have Sent myriad Christians to a bloody grave ! — V. — Do ye suppose, in yon vast Universe — In which our Earth is but a grain of sand, — There can have been diffused a single verse Of all your Faith : — or bid us understand That all those wondrous worlds are doomed to curse, Because, forsooth, they're subject to your brand 1 And that Omnipotence has been so cruel As to create them for eternal fuel ? 24 —VI. — Millions have joined " the Great Majority... " — E'en on this puny globe — without your creed : — Creatures, alike, of just Divinity.

Kevile their Faiths- -and take the conse- quences. We claim that our religion is the true : — Yet no man — rancour 's not bereft of senses — Can say that, in your midst, — and flagrant, too, — Outrage of rectitude not more intense is Than 'mongst unconscious Negroes or Chinese, Whose older Faiths ye arrogantly lese.
