through. 
  Let roots strike down and seek the growing needs;
  And living stock stretch up toward the sun
  With life and hope.  Then let men work and woo,
  Not anchorless, nor tumbling drift as weeds. 
  Fulfilment in the end and laurel won.

OUR MORNING LESSON

  Love our neighbors as ourselves,
  May we fit in where we can,
  Love our God and praise his name
  Is God’s law for mortal man.

WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME

  Bright smiles and many tear drops
    Are begging loved ones stay;
  For not all soldier boys come home
    When bugles call today.

  Brave lassies wait, toiling, hoping,
    And keep the hearth brushed clean,
  The home fires glowing brightly
    With all about serene.

  The heart grows weary often,
    For hours and days are long. 
  But when the fight is over
    The land will ring with song.

  With all the maidens singing
    The full and happy notes,
  While men go shouting, marching,
    At sight of khaki coats.

  And Main Street pushing, crowding,
    Will be a surging stream,
  For when this war is over
    Our joy will be supreme.
