Many years ago J. H. Clinch wrote these provocative lines:

And still from Him we turn away,

And fill our hearts with worthless things;

The fires of greed melt the clay,

And forth the idol springs

Ambition’s flame, and passion’s heat,

By wondrous alchemy transmute earth’s dross

To raise some guilded brute to fill Jehovah’s seat.
