we cannot speak through silence tears impose
Shall Prohibitions work most nobly begun,
Fail ere its Godlike goal is won,
In that leader and ornmrn, j. gomez
'armack, OF genius more than diamond bright
a Ac"hcourse OF Souls need tie christian light
by law imposed from Hut Marble Palace:
stupidity OF drink holds carnival in every place.
lhtoXlcants fasest passions in all degrees we trace
Poverties Home is cursed by flights that fell,
hlcheS Home is resound to other shrek and yell,
Where Rum on human mind hath ruin wrought
AND fancied emps of he'll their victems saught
IN forms internal to human mind disraught.
"
Shall America; Providence Of the human race
Like fair Sanarde fall. by runs ruin and disyrace
small blessings God given through Christ his SON
BE cast unthankfully away since wine begun
To dart the mind and lead it hellward on!
Oh God forbid, Oh God be merciful STILL
That all races OF men do thy will
May Prohibition be made strong by mans will as thine
Redeem the sin cursed soul of man. Combine
All nations to resi- the of wine.
In this cause Noble Carmack the South to bless
Tie cause dearer to him than his own Success:
Let our works follow on by his righteousness led
Till law be enforced. Mrst sweet memories shed
Blessings on Carmack; Our Carma elk dead
