"A church once stood for truth and right;
To have it preached was its delight;
But things today are not the same;
Alas! Has all gone down the drain?
That church is now an empty shell;
Poured out is truth it would not tell;
Its message now has lost its ring,
As with the world it has its fling.
O church, shape up! And be yourself;
Stand up; speak up, for we’re not deaf;
Again speak up with certain sound;
The word of truth and right expound!" —James E. Gibbons
