The Modern St. Anthony By Fanny B. Ames

"Who loves home and friends for my name's sake Finds life that neither foe nor time can take!" So spoke the ancient Voice.

By spirit's ear the spirit's sense is heard; And souls that caught but half that mystic word Fled far from houses of men, —

To list in cell, or cave, or desert wild, The whisper sweet "Well done; thou art my child!" That bids the heart rejoice.

Fair legend tells how one who bore the name of Antony left all and wandered till he came Where wild beasts make their den

Alone he fought the fiends that ever would Beguile the souls that follow after Good, And kept his faith intact

By victory o'er these ugly shapes of wrong, What purity's power he gained, ere long! Nor higher skill he lacked —

To cheer sad souls, heal hurts, charm feuds to peace To bid injustice & unkindness cease: And thus he won the Life.

And now he bears the sacred (Tau) ^Tau,^ with those Who keep the chosen way, despite of foes, Way of the Crucified.

And thou, Saint Anthony of modern days, Hast thou not also trod the desert ways? The fiends, that mock and rage,

Thou hast confronted in the halls of state, In labor's marked, ^and^ at the college gate; Yet none could make afraid.

our "Saint Anthony" had! and now they flourish and spread and live after her. How thankful you are for every hour you labored by her side. They are like a string of pearls about your neck, and the remembering fingers tenderly feel them one by {carat: "one"} for the treasured whole.

I am spending the Autumn and Winter [probably?], in Glen Echo and am very well and "over" busy.

Always glad of a remembrance from you and am Always Affectionately yours Clara Barton
