NEW WORDS TO AN OLD TUNE.
"a Hoover Song for Children)
BY Nora Archibald Smith OF The
Nigilantes)


BY Nora Archibald Smith OF The
VigilantesJ
The lad who eats fine wheaton bread,
And will not have corn muffin,
Resembles far too much the pig,
That's in the trough a-puffin'.
Take another model, lad,
Nor waste your time in stuffin"
The lass that spends her idle day
In eating sugar candy.
And while she reads, declares that 5 ne
Must have a package handy
Such a lass should bauished be
TO any desert sandy!
The children who lament for meat
And frown at beans and fishes,
Are like to have much less to eat
Before they have their wishes.
Skip their supper now and then,
And serve them mepty dishes!
For the orphan child across the sea
Has need OF all of saving.
While dress he lacks and food he lacks
And hunger he Is Drawing,
Hold, to him a helping hand,
Like brothers true behaving

Pouring Forth Our Earthly Treasures
For Treasures That Are Cody:

no dreams Of a day when we might pour forth this wealth
and treasure for treasures far more godly.
1t is today our privilege to do this, without reserve,
unstintingly. And it is Our privilege to see this wealth
and treasure 60 forth hauowed by it's own great purpose
for it expends itself not for selfish gain nor mean ad-
vantage, but that men throughout the world may herein
after dwell in peace, secure in the knowledge that the
life, liberty and happiness given them by God, may not,
at the whim Of some perverted human agency, be ruth
'essly snatched away.

servitude and degradation.

W. VI They are the heritage Of diligence and

But life, liberty and happiness are
above all these. They are the possessions of Heaven
which God alone bestows, and only He may rightfuny

So it is fitting and natural, when a sanguinary power,

ness, challenges the very right Of God, that the world
should turn in wrath against such ~blasphemy.
