The Pinter's Pulpit

The printed page is the greatest pulpit that God has given to man:
Its message stirs the heartstrings in every tribe and clan.

It shouts to souls in silence or whispers to a crowd;
gives courage to the humble or flags the monarch proud.

It prompts no false demeanor, uphold no vain display:
It pleads, persuades and reasons, at night or in the day.

It reaches into every cranny where men and women dwell;
Goes into unhappy mansions and into prison cell.

and whether book or pamphlet, a leaflet or in tomes;
It speaks in mart and factory, in tenement and homes.

It never shows resentment, though slighted for an age;
And brings the Light to children, to fools and to the sage.

This preacher has no equal; this pulpit has no peer.
The printed page lives on and on, to comfort and to cheer.
