“ARE YOU READY?"
(Ephesians. 6th chap., 11 to 18 verses.) Have you polished up your armour for the coming battlefield? For the for* Is very- busy with in trigue; Are your plans compact and staible, and your swords all sharp to wield? Are the Unions and the Churches all in league? Are you looking to your Captain for His ordons in tin* light? Are you strong for Him. and all that you should do? Are you Lined up to go forward in the power of His might, And thr swift and subtle enemy pursue? Are your loins with Truth enfolded? for no other words will win. Nothing tricky, shady, underhand or mean; For the foe is most discerning, and will get a wedge-word ; n If there’s any little slit to push be- . tween. And the breastplates mast b< shinin lights of righteousness as well. For with God. and truth, and right we’ll win the day; But there's nought to be accomplished, and we cannot cast a spell. If we do not work, and watch, and always pray. But when all is fit and ready we must take the shield of Ftiith. We will hoist it when the foe begins to fight. And our heaths and souls must rally in the cause until the death Of the liquor trade, and put our foes to flight. •—Ethel L. Piper. Milford.
