REDEMPTION
As though Youth had not all the best, this day Offers him one excelling besfc-of-all,—-The glorious summons of a trumpet-call _To prove his manhood in man's noblest fray; To be with those who fight at last to slay That ancient despot, War. Whate'er befall, • His is a prize so rich as to forestall The invidious years and venom of decay. No fruitless age shall he regret who pays ' Thus timely his arrears to Motherland And humankind, ensuing Earth's desire; Who stakes his else immemorable days ■ ■ And wins his life back, holy from death's hand t Ecdeemed in ono brief ecstasy of fire 1 —Hakold E. Goad, in "The Times."-
