hearts Of selfish sordid blight.

weeds be crushed in dust of battle plain.
And ground beneath the heel of valor ere rise

Lord God of Hosts
Let not the blood ruthless split cry out In

And those that gave life, home or love as sac

Lead us in Thy love TO bow the willing knee
the humble mind
Teach men to glory not that they love their

When mother passed sweetly over
The crystal waters foam.
While yet a child I remember we'll
How mother took me upon her knee
And sang the songs of olden times
That once were sung with glee.

As If no one cared for me,
But. Vet. a thought comes back to say
Some day your mother you shall see.
! often lie awake and wonder
If beyond the stars that shine,
Mother ever pleads for her child?
Who. when she left. was left behind.
I feel as though l were a ship
Tossed upon an angry sea.
Without lighthouse or a rudder?
Since mother was taken from me.
oh. Angels can you tell me,
Is darling mother with you there?
II you can. dear angels, will you,
To her this message bear?
Tell mother that I'll promise
To meet her beyond the sky
And bring "a darling loved one,
II she with me win fly?
But now that She to heaven has gone.
She lies not beneath the sod;
But walks the pearly streets mp there,
Singing the praises of our God.

are too many childless homes. It
would be most unfair not to mention
that there are exceptions to these
