STARTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
The noted town of W,
Has finally turned around,
And started for a school bell.
Without a tax from town.
| I understand paper is
To soon start on its way,
And round the town Is going
On its mission every day.
Right in the village 1t should start
| Headed by the wealthy Judge
Then pass it to his neighbors rich
And may they not begrudge.
For some Of them have lots of cash
That came in different ways
| And they will never use it all
In mans appointed days.
And when their names are all secured
Go to the blacksmith shop
And see him shoe the horses feet
Then ask him please to stop.
Just long enough to sign his name
| With ncighbors and with friends
And use his pocketbook and tongue
To help his fellow men.
Then take the paper up the street
And not the rich pass by
But get from them a generous sum,
And 1 will tell you why.
Because the bell is more to them
Then people on the hills,
And so Of course they ought to pay
| The heaviest OF the bills.
Then take the paper to the poor
And let them pay their mite,
And then the school wilEhave bell
That was gotten just and right.
And then the farmers they can have
| A glorious jubilee.
The school will also have a bell
That's paid for all you see.
Without an increase OF debt
| Or increase OF u tax
| Upon poor people on the hills
| That have to use the ak
| And If we hear it when it rings,
Well hail the glorious day
The little paper started out
To help the poor people pay.
Their doctors and trained nurses bills
| Their taxes and pew rent
And all the money that they have
| That has been to them lent.
The rich will be no poorer
To lend helping hand
To help the poor and needy
In this free and Christian land.
And when the bell rings loud and clear
To call the pupils in
| A holy God from heaven will look
And say there was no sin.
Because the rich they did their share,
The poor they did their part,
| And all the children will rejoice
| With light and cheerful hearts.
And 50 my pen will lay down
And may the school bell ring
And when the pupils get their seats
Then offer prayer, then sing:
! "All hail the power OF Jesus name
Let angels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all."-CW. P.
