BY MARTIN F . TUPPER , ESQ . Go forth , in faith and patience , hope and love ! But think not , voyagers , to leave behind His of the flesh or passions of the mind , Nor to anticipate the bliss above
In this new home : for evil must be there , Evil , that sails alike on every wind , Li spite of all your caution , all your care : Then be ye tolerant ; let no stern soul , However right his ethics or his life , Over the weaker brothers claim control
, Stirring the flock to bitterness of strife : Honour man ' s conscience ; from all shackles loose The honest-mind with freedom ' s instinct rife : Take the church with you , hut no church-abuse .
