NO SECT
IN
HEAVEN.
PUBLISHED BY H. LONGSTRETH, 1336 CHESTNUT ST.
NO SECT IN HEAVEN.
And a "Churchman" down to the river came: When I heard a strange voice call his name, "Good father, stop; when you cross this tide You must leave your robes on the other side."
But the aged father did not mind, And his long gown floated out behind, As down to the stream his way he took, His pale hands clasping a gilt-edged book.
"I'm bound for heaven, and when I'm there, I shall want my book of Common Prayer; And though I put on a starry crown, I should feel quite lost without my gown."
Then he fixed his eye on the shining track, But his gown was heavy, and held him back, And the poor old father tried in vain A single step in the flood to gain.
Then down to the river a Quaker strayed, His dress of a sober hue was made; "My coat and hat must be all of gray, I cannot go any other way."
Then he buttoned his coat straight up to his chin, And staidly, solemnly, waded in, And his broad-brimmed hat he pulled down tight Over his forehead, so cold and white.
But a strong wind carried away his hat; A moment he silently sighed over that, And then, as he gazed to the farther shore, The coat slipped off, and was seen no more.
