done SO long, until our efforts are
crowned with success And should it be
thought necessary -and believe it is
to stimulate our more sluggish brethren
in any part of the state, let us call out
any of our gifted brothers possessing the
gift of speech, and who are able to call
our forces into action, by lecture or adj
dress, to stimulate the indolent, to,
awaken the sleepers, to confirm the
wavering, and to cali our army together.
Let each brother take the hand of the
weaker one, and every comrade who
possesses the grit, and is strong enough
to speak works of encouragement and
hope, let him feel that there is strength
in your faith, to stand against all the
temptations and alluremeuts in your

destitute of heart or con science, and
whose grasping avarice knows no pity
and feels no remorse,s trampling poor
humanity in the dust that he may ride
in his gilded conveyance to He'll.
And it is for US, brothers, to feel for
humanity, and cultivate the Christian
graces by feeding the hungry, clothing
the naked, visiting the sick and the
dying; and who shall receive the bene-

have done it unto one of the least of
these, my brethren, ye have done it

Up. then, brothers, and onward to
victory let every laborer join our host.
Buckle on the armor, and he that hath
no sword let him sell his cloak and buy

poor followers. And let our watchword
