THE BATTLE is ON!
GOD CALLETH FOR YOUl

Did they finish the fight that day
When the Liberty Bell was rung?
Did they silence the noise of war
When LibertYs triumph was sung!
Was Freedom made Sovereign indeed,
When the old Bell pealed to the world
And the banner of freedom unfurled?
A battle has waged since the world was
new.
A battle is on, Cod calleth for you!
There is woe in our broad, brave land
Though we shout for victories won,
Wide trenches are heaped with our dead,
Though our banners flash in the sun;
For the fight came not to a close
When the Bell rung its news afar
DER all our huzZahS and acclaim,
Still echo the horrors of war.
This battle has waged since the world
was new.
This battle is Gods God calleth for
you.
Wherever the adder of drink
Stings body and soul TO the death,
Wherever the fumes of the cup
Mix woe with mans God-giYen brealh -
There charges the foe, and there fail
Our dearest our best and our brave
Finished not was the fight that day,
For America harbors the slave
The slave of the death dealing sum
The slave of the drunkard ) wild Woe
Americas danger today
EmbOldens Americas foe,
Then strike for the battle is God $!
Strike deep as you cherish your own.
In the name of our God smite the foe,
Till Liberty taketh her throne

WE DON'T CREDIT TWICE.

II sometimes happens that a pledgor
to our Free Circulation Fund receives
dun for the subscription to his own
paper soon after paying his pledge in
fun or in part. Naturally it would seem
should advance his own subscription. we
do this but we do it as soon as the pledge
Is received without waiting for its pay
ment On receipt Of the pledge we put
the address of the pledgor upon our sub
scription list for. the paper for year II
he is not already a subscriber, or, If he
is, we advance his subscription to one
year from the receipt of the pledge. Our
friends who know this will of course not
expect us also to advance their personal
date on the receipt of the payment OF
their pledge.
