this one great thing to be wiped from
the face of civilization that our peo

peace, to feel that God has made al
men equal.
We do not want our souls circum
scribed. We want the world as a MIA,
ground for our talents and to drear

Go forth my friend upon your way,
Each obstacle despising.
Prove by your efforts every day,
To all that we are rising.
