America to Her Young Men,

sing the wisdom OF true chivalry-
Not greater than our strength our duties be;
Lo! II the season of small fruit Is done,
The richer, heavier harvest must be won
Bury the old, dead days with reverence
Rear them a cenotaph and hasten hence
To do what strong men must, strike hard and
win.
The young days lead, fall into ranks, fall I'M
No facing rearward now, no weak regret
No senile croaking DER a sun that's set;
Look mornward, upward, onward, thrill and
cneer;
The young men lead, the young who scott at fear
Higher run up the flag and farther bear it;
Freedom that glorious robe, all men must wear II;
with never a backward step, right on to win
Young courage leads, fall into ranks, fall inl
No pale, thin blood can bulge the veins of power,
No faltering heart throb with the mighty hour;
The OLD and timid numbers of dark dread
Know not our time, they are crones Of the dead
Brim the new day with valor's trumpet sound,
Advance the flag and hold each vantage ground
For Freedoms sake, with higher heights to win
And wider realms, fall into ranks, fall in!
Some timorous knees smite hard together now,
Some coward eyes look backward from the
plough;
But not the pulling trembler rounds the goal,
And never glory lights the craven soul.
Face to the 'front.' and forward-meet the shock;
Freedom is strong, old tyrannes reel and rock;
Now, now, or never, TO the charge and win,
o young and brave, fall into ranks, fall in

A Hymn.

Unto each a lamp is given
To uphold till Judgment day,
And the flame was lit in heaven
To illume earth's darker way.
Lamps of faith! burn We brightly!
Oil Of grace o never fail!
Down deaths lonely Swallowed valley,
To the gates of heaven prevail.
Life we live with one another,
Death we each must face alone;
Lift your lamp that through the shadows
Christ may recognize HIS own.
Though We faint and, lamp extinguished,
Fear TO meet His holy view;
Still press on, for hig in heaven
Christ shall light your lamp new.
