"SACRIFICE”
Ethel Piper Who fouls his hands and strains his strength To meet the needs of man, at length, Though not inscribed in halls of fame. Yet adds a lustre to his name. Who buys not finery, but feeds The starving ones, she sees their needs; Her gifts, a sacrifice most sweet; “An-hungered, but ye gave Me meat ” The world has needs, she has-them now; So, pass them not; to these we bow; Amidst our plenty, this suffice, “'To Him belongs our sacrifice.** So great deliverance was seen, For at our gates the foe has been; Unscathed our land; untouched each town; While dear ones fought to save their own. We only give for what was given, Our gifts are signcJ and sealed ir Heaven; Lest, when these times of need be past, We disappoint our Lord at last.
