A WELCOME TO JABEZ Reprinted from the Eastbourne Chronicle. GREAT organiser, come again, Thy country needs thee sadly ; In Scotland Yard they all complain They “ want ” thee, oh ! so badly. Thou canst not tell the signs and sobs That for thy presence yearn ; And the great heart of England throbs With joy at thy return.
