    Three-quarters of a year,
    But oh! it cuts him like a scythe
    When tithing time draws near.

The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd:
Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.

That all might see the doctrines which they heard.

I met a preacher there I knew, and said,
Ill and overworked, how fare you in this scene?
Bravely! said he; for I of late have been
Much cheered with thoughts of Christ, the living bread.

I venerate the man whose heart is warm,
Whose hands are pure, whose doctrine and whose life,
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof
That he is honest in the sacred cause.
