SNAKE CREEK ITEMS
And entered in the fight.
There came a band of soldiers,
So mighty, brave and true,
And said, don’t take offense tho
is truly meant for you.
They traveled onward, upward,
Wearing a crown for God
Ever looking forward to the pearly
gates through which they must
trod.
Then woe be to offenses,
Offense of the world,
Woe be unto the man from whom
offense did whirl
There stands a mighty judgment
The Judge of all the world;
To take charge of offenses
And the man from whom offense did
whirl.
—By Mrs. J. A. Bowman.
