They are bound to-day , by a com7)ion bond: I With a common purpose, supremely great. To shatter the forces of Greed and j Hate. ' And. each one stands in his given piece I Upheld, and strengthen'd, the years to face. By the cause of Truth, and the Pride of Race. ! Could we fail or falter, in days like j these . Who inherit the glory of centuries? ! For the valorous deeds of our race irere sung i By the troubadours, when the world h; j was young, ie \So, wherever their ways in the world jy j are set. j The peoples of Empire are loyal yet. t-i j —NELLIE A.
