Drive the shadows Of night from the by

Let it tell to the lost that count not the cost,
That our bridges are burned and our Rubicon
crossed;
That the banner of motherlove ever shall wave
Till the paths are made straight for the sim
burdened slave.
Let it fly at the front; it is washed in our tears,
And the smoke of the battle increases it's
whiteness,
Though our hearts may be pierced by the enc
mys spears,
- Yet the flow from our wounds shall but
add to it's brightness,
And this ensign Of right it shall float DER the

Till our wrongs are avenged by the triumph of

And in radiant victory at last it shall wave

Where the fathers of liberty sleep meath
the MOSES:
Run it up DER the homes where the mothers
are found
Who through watches of anguish are
counting their losses.
In the tear-moistened sod, which our martyrs
have trod,
We are planting it deep for our land and our
God.

In the name of our Christ, who is mighty to

A very appropriate cartoon ap-
pears in the Chicago Record. It
pictures the army canteen with SOL
der head and feet, quite manish
figure, with tears, falling and draw
ing little wagon filled with beer
key and bottles. The senate is
pictured as an elderly man with
drum close at the heels of Mr..
Canteen and the house plays the
flute and marches as companion to
the senate. [ imagine Mr. House
is making music in the ears of
American mothers that sounds
very different from the martial mu-
sic they have heard since fathers
and sons have been laid to rest &C.
companied by the sad strains for
SO many years. If this music had
only come before so many dear
boys had learned to use strong
drink, but it is welcome sound
for in it is hope, answer to prayer
and thankfulness. PLAY on Mr..
House and Mr.. Senate the angels
in heaven ale rejoicing with the
w. G. T. u, who is pictured as a
woman bringing up the rear of the
procession waving her white flag
of peace to the world. We assume
these thoughts are filling her no.
BILE mind, only a few Of our num-
Der belong to the four states where
women are allowed the right of
suffrage, yet we are recognized on
every hand as being one of the
most influential factors in the con-
test. While we are thankful we
have a share in this righteous leg
islation, we indulge in no vahglo-
rious pride. We know we'll that
if God had not been on our side
and given his signal mark of ap
proyal of our organization as an in
strument in carrying out His will
the enemy would triumph IN their
victory.
The victory is not ours but
Gods. His promises are ours and
we take Him at His word and trust.
