Inscription: inscription : printed : centre & verso : writing in black, framed by red box : 6 JESUS IN LONDON / III / In the warm, West End churches / They sing and preach and pray, / They call us "Beloved brthren," / But they do not act that way; / And when He come to the church door / He'd call out loud and free, / "You stop that preaching and praying / And show what you've done for Me." / IV / Then they'd say, "Oh, Lord, we have / given / To the poor both blankets and tracts, / And we've tried to make them sober / And we've tried to teach them facts. / But they will sneak round to the drink / shop / And pawn the blankets for the beer, / And we find them very ungrateful - / But still we persevere." //
