War Raging Hot and Long.
BY EUGENE HOOD, KENovA.

There are good old mothers who are
praying to God for help,
There are men who fought the wolf from
their family and their self.
And still others who are thinking of
nothing but their wealth.
Now, fellow mon and brothers, can we
settle this alone?
L want to say we cannot, unless Jesus is
enthroned.
We haye read about many who have
fallen in the war;
1t could all have been averted il the
laws had been cared for.
1 want to ask you, my brother, have you
thought Of the disgrace?
Or are you taking care of the laws in
our own United States?
Now. hope that it is settled and for
ever We'll be true,
SO we can clasp hands with our brothers
under the old Red, White and Blue.
l hope our hearts are honest and true to
the core,
And hope that wars between us will
be forgotten for evermore.
My fellow men and brothers, know
that you repent
For the souls we have lost and the mon
ey we have spent;
But repentance brings us nothing with
out Jesus and His power
Sends His holy spirit on us in the beau.
ty of the flower.
And when it shines upon us we can
shout and Say
To the loved ones in Glory who has won
for rs the day.
L plead with you. my brother, let's be
honest, let's be true,
And place our hopes in Jesus, for He
will carry us through.
Keep your footsteps holy and forever in
the fold;
Then Wen meet our loved ones where
the streets are paved with gold.
Now, friends, be pure and spotless, turn
back upon the world,
AND we ii enter In with Jesus where the
gates are made of gold.
There are some who think they re nigh
ty, some who think they're small
But tell you, friend and brother, Jesus
saves us, one and all
We are sailing on a ship that may be
tempest-toss
But keep your heart right with Jesus
and not a soul will be lost.
Then when we are called from this old
world, and leave for evermore,
We will land to be with Jesus OH that
beautiful golden shore.
We will shout and sing with loved ones
and our praises will fill the air;
The voice of Jesus will echo back as
sweet music to the ear.
There are those who go to meeting, and
they 20 there just for fun,
But tell you the day is coming when
the Lords Will must be done.
Dear brother, wish l had the power
to make you see
That we are travelling on the brink of
everlasting eternity.
Now, friends, well have to answer for
every deed we've done.
Dear brother, are you ready to answer
every one?
Brother, there is war that is raging
now
It's the devil and his angels against Je-
sus and His power,
Now, listen here, dear ones, which do
you want to serve?
Do you want to serve the devil and at
last forever burn?
Or with Jesus will you scar and at last
go home to glory and live for ever
more?
Now, brother, you will have to settle
all that you have done,
For il must be settled between the Sa-
vior and you alone.
For friends, the hris,ians cannot save
you,
Although they shout, pray and sing
But TO save your soul, my friend,
You must look to the Almighty King
The Savior now is knocking at your
heart very door.
Now, my 7dvice is dear brother, turn
Him away no more.
Now the death angels calling SOILS. and
you know it's true,
That the next message brother, may be
for me or for you.
How can we be so thoughtless as to put
10 of so long
And serve the devil with our thoughts.
our deeds aud our songs,
When the Savior is waiting to prepare
us for that home
Where weJl be with mother and our
