AS Eastern legend tells US. Is meant to
signify
The issue Of a battie-a battle to decide
II Christ or Paganiiam should in tho

o-day the selfsamc signal In rear OF

Is seen. Christ's love revealing, L love
that never yields.
Where noble-hearted women. impel!ed
by love Divine,
Arc facing untold horrors near to the
battle line.
Aye. Drawing every danger, they dwell
IN realms Of woe.
Cndaunted by the fury or cannon OF
tho foe;
They arc there TO nurse the manEled.
TO sootl,e the dying hour
or heroes when all science to save has
lost it's power
Nay, even this transcendinE, so Christ

They nurse the sick and dying OF our
cruel foe. Il" t'-. r..

We show our love for Jesus in but

'Tis by the Christ-iike spirit to work

In soothing hearts Of sorrow wherever

Al home or aliens stricken in lands

Bless God, old Richmond rises in pris-

And adds another laurel to her heroic

Her Red Cross it was famous. though

In dark days OF the sixties" whom
Richmond women shone
Like PHYS angels nursing our Southern

Back from the fields Of battle on which
they braveiy fought.
God bless our Red Cross daughters, our
hcroines to-day,
Who prove themselves full worthy OF
mothers such as they.
