Go home and practice till you can sing it with as much voice and musical feeling as you have. It will carry you over many a strip of thin ice. Every successful politician in the land has been saved from defeat at some critical moment by his ability to sing The Star-Spangled Banner If he fellows who have failed had known how to sing it, maybe they wouldn't have fallen with such a thud
