ay be defeated, they may perish;but onward moves the cause, and their souls go marchingon with it, for they are part of it, they have believed init.—Henry Van Dyke. The Pilgrim spirit has not fled; It walks in noons broad light;And it watches the bed of the glorious dead, With the holy stars by night;It watches the bed of the brave who have bled, And still guard this ice-bound shore,Till the waves of the bay where the Mayflower lay Shall foam and freeze no more. —John Pierpont. Land of our Birth, we pledge to theeOur love and toil in the years to be,When we are grown and take our place,As men and women, with her race. Land of our Birth, our Faith and Pride,For whose dear sake our fathers died;O Motherland, we pledge to theeHead, heart, and hand the years to be. A RALLY. Little folks, come marching forth; Little feet, keep time,In the East and West and North And the Southern clime!Lay your lesson books away, Leave your sums undone!We must celebrate today Brave George Washington. 18
