The Salvation Army Is There

BY Guy F. Lee, in Chicago Tribune
we used to look with tolerant air
AS they marched up the street with their band:
Inc tambour1ne drum and the shaky cornet
Brought smiles more than pennies to hand,
But they fed the poor bum and the child from the su.
And took light to the darkest lair
And wherever discouraged needed a lift
The Salvation Army there.
Over there where Hels playing its drge they have built
Huts close to the trenches and fire,
And they're passing out cheer, for dime a grim
To men clothed i'll Misty and mire.
Handing coffee and pie, and renewed hope and vim
To LiOertys they
Their lives for cause-most unselfshly brave
The Salvation Army is there.
These soldiers whose weapons java and cakes
And whose foes discomfort blight
Have won the undying affection of all
Their khaki clad brothers in Right,
They never consider themselves. and they live
The spirit of care, share and spare
So I'm proud to remark that in peace in war
The Salvation Army is THERE!
