A QUESTION by PETER TAYLOR FORSYTH

First Line: NOW WHO WILL RISE
Last Line: A CENTRAL, FUNDED, FOUNDED FAITH?
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
Now who will rise
To purge our eyes,
Kindle the Spirit's breath;
And think well borne
Neglect or scorn
To give our sons a Faith?
For pieties
And dubieties,
To give them back a Faith?
Who gives them for a flickering wraith,
A central, funded, founded Faith?
