No blemish or spot will the fruit ever know,
We reap the results 81 the deeds Of our fathers.
And We. too, in cur day, have daty to do
To strive for the right. and train eur children
That they to their country may ever prove true.
At the close OF the dsy when children gather,
circle Of love round the mothers knee,

Who planted the seed Of this goodly tree.
Inattli in their minds deep love for the heroes
Who fought for tseir homes many field
Lexington. Concord, Bunker Hill, yes, . legion
Ofnames Of undying fame did the long var yield.
Tell to your children the ever new story.
And note how their eyes will sparkle with pride.
Al they listen intent to their ferefsthers glory,
When you're speaking of Warren or .Paul
Revere's Ride"
Tell them Of Valley Forge. where our brave
Continentals
Silently suffered for clothing and food;
Undaunted they kept up their courage heroic.
Nor glsddened the foe by murmuring word.
Tell them Of Marion and his brave "swamp

No home but the cypress, YET, 90 high was their
courage.
That to save Carolina many willingly died.
Tell Of the heroes in number legion,
Who made Of their blood an Offering free,
When the whitening winds Of wrong and
oppression
We're sapping tho life Of Liberty's tree.
Teach to your children scorn Of injustice,
That right" not might" their motto should be
Safe then in their hands this guerdon from Heaven
This home Of the brave. this land Of the free.
Hail. Fourth Of Julyi We greet thee with gladness,
Most glorious day of the entire yearl
And hail to the flag DER free people waving,
Our stripes and stars salute with cheer.
