 GOD SAVE THE STATE
 CTune. "America.'O
 God bless our native land:
 Firm may she ever stand
 Through storm and night:
 When the wild tempests rave Ruler of wind and wave,
 Do thou our country save,
 By Thy great might.
 For her our prayers shall rise, To God above the skies;
 On Him we wait:
 Though who art ever nigh,
 Guarding with watchful eye,
 To Thee aloud we cry,
 God save our state.

 THE TEMPERANCE BOY. l am little temperance boy.
 Good friends. do you doubt il? Only listen and I'll soon
 Tell you all about it.
 These are little temperance feet,
 So you'll never find them Walking to a beer saloon,
 Dragging me behind them. These are little temperance hands,
 Poison never passes.
 But with water pure and cold,
 Tl.<s will fill your glasses And .tlIese lips shall never taste,
 Brandy, beer or whisky, Sooner would l see them all,
 In the Bay of Biscay. And these eyes shall never look,
 Where the red wine g1istens; God forbids it in His book.
 To the child that listens So my friends I think this truth
 You will soon discover That I am a Temperance Boy,
 Temperance all over

 School-They deaden conscience destroy the love for that which is good and pure the knowledge of right and the power to do right.
 Leader-How does alcohol affect the blood?
 School-Alcohol has such a thirst for water that if taken in any quantity it sucks the water from the disks and makes them shrink up and harden so that they cannot act. It often ecrowds them up together and so clogs the tiny passages where the blood ought to flow. It is a blood poison.
 Leader-How does alcohol affect the heart?
 School-It sometimes quickens the &C., ton of the heart a short time, but this Is always followed by a depression in which less work than usual is done. It paralyzes the nerves which control the heart action.

 School-O It weakens the blood ves- sells. so they often burst.
 (2) It impairs the substance of the brain.
