  1. (continued from previous page)
    Not a single empty pew
    If you wish to find a Christian
    They are very, very few.
    Some are here for their amusement;
    Some for love, but seldom pure,
    Some are laughing in the corners;
    Others linger round the door.
    But whene'er the show is over,
    All are ready for the road;
    Every virtue is forgotten -
    Heaven and holiness - and God.
