THE GREAT APPEAL. GIVE FOR OUR BOYS AT THE FRONT. Give for our boys at tha front, 1 Who are serving the Empire's need c .Writing the tale of Zealahdia's pride In the strength of a eoldier's creed« .Wounded, and shattered, and torn, Their courage is still the samo; Children tlioy of the lion heart, .Who bear the grand old name, " Give for our men at the front, : And their folk who are" left behind; •Bono of. our bono and flesh of our flesh, We must.keep them ever in mind. Honour to those who have died, And help for tho boys who live; Our rights wo gain by their sacrificeRemember this truth and give. Mothers, and wives, and children dear Wait for the tale that is told, • Whilst often the story their hearts must hear Is that he whom they loved lies cold. Great is the honour our heroes give ■ To the land from whence they came; Givo as they give, for your credit's sake, To the cause of our Empire's name. Our little land in the Southern Seas Has given and still can give, That the grand old flag may kiss the breezo And Our British manhood live. But nothing hearts can give to-day Will so enhance our'joys 'As to think of tho lads who must clear the way, And givo with both hands .1,0 our boys. —D. McLaren,
