The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-12-26

By the way we share our bounty
With earth's sufferers afar,
IL each home in this blest country
Would one meal share, then, Oh
then
We would rout wars cradle robber
Help to save race Of men.
If each child would give a penny
Of the treasured Christmas store
We would break grim famine's
shackels
On the far Albanian shore.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters"
Lo! for us priceless good,
Charity would bind our children
With ties of brotherhood.
Good Samaritan of nations
Let America become,
Giving shelter to the homeless,
Food and raiment unto some;
Let bright vision of world service
Melt the mists of time and tide
Till the neighbor over ocean
Share as neighbor at our side.
What, you cannot feed the nations?
No, but you can feed a few,
And it may be some are waiting
just to see what you will do.
Your example swells your power
just how much, We cannot say,
Only heaven can keep the record
If you use it in Gods way.
For America the holly
Christmas symbol we have found,
For Albania-the galayx-
All the lands a burying ground.
They are starving--we are feasting,
They are mourning - our homes
ring
Is Christmas spirit sounding
In the melodies we sing?
As YOU revel in your feasting
Does the winter winds wild means
Bring to you no sad suggestion
OF Albania's orphans groans?
Do the dreary raindrops falling
Not remind Of widows tears,
Do not the swirling gusts Of brown
leaves
Make you think Of passing biersg
As you sit beside the Yule log
Basking in its cheerful glow
Gam | my brothers keeperq"
Sullen sounds it DER and Ger
In the spirit of indulgence
In the spirit of loving ease,
Friend-whom art thou seeking more
Thyself--or God-to please9

God help you see you are,
See the brother and the neighbor
Is the one in need, though far
Oh, Americans, arouse We
TO spirit kind and true.
Lol a land Of dying orphans
Crying overseas 10 you.
