May 28, 1908: "T A K E A H A N D", by Rev. Geo. C. Hicks, LL.D When the hosts of right shall flag, And her soldiers, heartless, lag-- .........TAKE A HAND. Throw yourself into the fray. Chase the ranks of wrong away. Cheer your comrades, win the day-- .........TAKE A HAND. When you see your kind oppressed. Swear their wrongs shall be redressed-- .........TAKE A HAND. Drag to light the despot's wrongs, Strike dismay into his throngs. Shout for justice, sing her songs-- ........TAKE A HAND. When triumphant seems the wrong, And its haughty champions strong, .........TAKE A HAND. Know that truth shall always win. Virtue ever conquer sin. Lost no fight where God hath been-- ..........TAKE A HAND. Stand for every righteous cause: Stand forGod--defend His laws-- ...........TAKE A STAND. Keep your warrior's armor bright, Keep your soul with truth alight, Let no foe your soul affright-- ............TAKE A STAND. Tho the world may smile or frown, Thop it wish you no renown-- ............TAKE A STAND. Tho you're mocked by scornful foes-- Only God your motive knows. Time your triumph shall disclose-- .............TAKE A STAND. "Ruth, the Moabite Maiden", by Rev. Hicks was printed in the Sun of July 2, 1908. "David and Goliath", by Rev.
