WORDS OF CHEER.

Onward, onward in the pathway Which the pure and good have trod, Never weary, never faltering, Resting on the arm of God; Wheresoever duty calls thee, Where the truth demands thy aid, Go thou to the mighty battle, Firmly, boldly, undismayed.
With the flag of justice o'er thee, And thine own true heart within, With the hosts of wrong before thee, Firmly stand amid the din. As of old, lo! unseen legions Help thee in the mighty fray. And the smiles of God's approval, Like the sunbeams round thee play.
In the ranks of error are there Legions 'gainst the little band, Who for justice, truth and mercy, Scoffed, despised, insulted, stand. Heed it not; but let alone Be thy banner still unfurled, God and thou at length shall conquer, Though arrayed against the world.—Sel.
