Whatever your political affiliations.
do not let party lines blind you to
your true interests or prevent you
from doing what you think is best and
right. See that the men you vote for
stand for the right principles, regard
less Of party, and support those men
who meet the requirements, and you
will not only be doing the best thing
for yourselves, but for the public.
This is not a political move at all,
as is generally understood, but a o.

The labors, tasks, the duties and the calls
Which are the heirlooms Of the past, to be
precious trust the heritage Of time,
How will thou face the future all alone?
How front the foes of sin, and vice, and crime,
Which muster round with force and might I'M

Take courage, child of time. be not dismayed.
EQUIP myself with faith and hope and love,
And seek for strength and wisdom from above;
With these to help thee, never be afraid
Go forth with gladness on thine untrod way,
And strength will come to thee from day to day.

The moon wanes pale in the sky.

We have trod the journey long.
We have shared our hopes and fears.
We have shared our grief and song;
And we've shared them all with our old friends
Our true friends. our few friends,
And we'll drain anew to our old friends.
The friends that are always true.
