RELIGIOUS

The Bible towering o'er the rest,
Of all the other books the best.
Old Father Baxter's pious call
To the unconverted all.
William Penn's laborious writing,
And the books 'gainst Christians fighting.
Some books of sound theology,
Robert Barclay's “Apology.”
Dyer's “Religion of the Shakers,”
Clarkson's also of the Quakers.
Many more books I have read through—
Bunyan's “Pilgrim's Progress” too.
A book concerning John's baptism,
Elias Smith's “Universalism.”
