Temperance. AKE room for the thousands on thousands returning From the lowly pathway of darkness! Our hearts with accents of kindness are yearning;— Unfurl your proud banner and welcome them in! From the isles of the ocean, the plains and the dells, Thousands on thousands are watching the stream; The fond mother's heart in gratitude swells— Oh! say, shall we wake and find this a dream? cities and towns, o'er valleys and mountains, ay the flag of temperance o'er all be unfurled! ds you partake of the life-giving fountain, ose waters are flowing to gladden the world! still at our post we stand to deliver, Il the light burns again on each desolate hearth, the demon of whisky is vanquished for ever, hose breath like a plague has darkened the earth! ## Sign the Pledge. HERE is the man who would not shrink CHORUS-Cheerily, readily, come along, Sign our pledge and sing our song! If you'll only make the start, You will act the wiser part! CHORUS Where's the man his bottle tips?— CHORUS 174 SIGN THE PLEDGE. Come, then, Charlie, Fred and Lew CHORUS Say to your friends, where ere they be, CHORUS 'Tis rum that makes me fierce and wild, 'Tis rum that robs my wife and child. CHORUS It robs the pocket, racks the brain, CHORUS And when you make your New Year's call Just say you do not drink at all. CHORUS Say to the girls, where ere they be, "That very drink may ruin me!"
