"ARE YOU READY?”
1957 Is Election Year Have you polished up your armour for the coming battle-field ? For the foe is very busy with intrigue! Are your plans compact and stable, and your swords all sharp to wield ? Are the Unions and the C hurches all in league'
Are you looking *o your C aptain for His orders in the fight ? Are you strong for Him, and all that you should be ? Arc you lined up to go forward in the Power of His might ? And the swift and subtle enemy pursue? The breastplates must be shining lights of righteousness as well, For with God, and Truth and Right, we ll win the final day; Hut there’s nought to he accomplished, and we cannot cast a spell If we do not work and watch and always pray. Hut when all is fit and ready, we must take the shield of Faith. We will hoist it when the foe begins to fight, And our hearts and soul- must rally in the Cause until the death Of the Li(|Uor Trade, and put our foes to flight. —Ethel L. Piper (Seaview Rd„ Milford).
