CARRY ON!
i^o, — This is the world we have won ; _ This is the peace we have made. . Now that our labors are -done,' / Come, let *is rest m the shade ! No ; we must build and restore ; Work that will wait not is here; Out of the chaos of war ..'[■■:■ Temples bf peace we must rear. Those who have won us the peace, Only this promise they ask : They who m death found release Left „us to finish their task. Work is the gospel 1 we need; Campaigns of toil to be won Wait u» before we are freed 1 , Eve we may rest m the sun ! They are our judges, our sons, Sternly condemning our sloth; We must make ready, .at "once, . Worlds for their freedom and growth, This is 'our. task through -the years; This is our work, not begun, Till we, with sweat and with tears, Fashion the world we have won ! Wider their chances must be, Nobler the lives they may lead ; They must be splendid and. 'free . IVlen. of Imperial breed, Scatter confetti no more; Let the loud triiiniphings cease ! Over the debris of war We must build permanent peace ! —A. H. Adams, m Sydney Telegraph.
