We are not here to play, to dream to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle, face it, 'tis God's gift.
Be strong, be strong, be strong!

Say not the days are evil--who's to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce--O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.
Be strong, be strong, be strong!*
MALTBIE DAVENPORT BARCOCK(1858-1901)
"If you are willing and obedient,  you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of The Lord has spoken.
ISAIAH 1:19-20
