CONSECRATION VOW FOR 1924.
By the love wc bear our country, to save it from decay; By the lives of noble women who have fallen in the fray. We are fighting for posterity in a true and legal way. For the freedom of our nation and a bright and better day. By tin* lives of ceaseless toilers of the old campaigning day, By the lives of all who laltoured along the broad highway, By the lives of those who’ve given all humanity could pay. For the freedom of our nation and a bright and better day. By the lives of hopeless mothers whose beloved have gone astray, By the lives of sons and daughters crushed and broken in dismay. By the lives of blighted children horn to toil Instead of play. We now bring to them liberty and a coming happy day. By a Royal Act of Parliament, backed by men In strong array. By all loyal British women who work as well as pray, Hear our Lord’s command, “(do forward.” all true patriots must obey. For the coming of His Kingdom, and the glorious victory day. —H.R.
