Flower that kept for the heart OF our Nation,
Borne from far-distant shoroi
Oh what shall the eagle clasp in with his arrows,
Swift rising TO Ger our slain
Oh what the blue field which covers their
bosoms,
Where we have strewn flowers like rainf
When We are listening to the ffe's shrill summons.
When We step to the drums quick beat.
And when God is holding His bright shield before

THE JOLLY FIVE.
DEAR FRIENDS: 1t has been some time since
anything has appeared in THE NATIONAL

loyal and patriotic as formerly

SIX YEARS C. c.
DEAR FRIENDS ALL: 1t is six years since ]
Joined the c. C., and ] have not written for
some time, though my interest is upabated.
Father is q soldier, as sister told yen recently
in joining the Club. and we are both interested
in reading The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and both
love patriotism. 1 consider patriotism next to
religion, for if you see a person who takes no
interest In the welfare of his country, you will
find little religion about that person; he cares
only for himself, and the rest of the Nation
may take care of itself for all be cares.
i am now 16 years of age and am a member
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church.
As Sister Hilliard said in her letter Don't
be ashamed to have your names printed" but
let each and every one OF our members both
old and new, write cheerful letters and sign
their own names to them.
My motto is, Never write anything you are
ashamed Of" Let us then be up and doing,
and have our ranks swelling every day.
