Ye men of faith, God’s Word defend! In armor clad, go forth to war! Fulfill your vows, on Him depend; Proclaim your faith both near and far. ’Twas founded on God’s book; our nation, The heritage our fathers left, Must never be by us forsaken; Our children must not be bereft. Meet every foe, both high and low, In Church or School, no matter who. With Spirit’s sword strike sturdy blow; The battle’s on; It’s up to YOU! Go forth like men; be not dismayed. The battle’s His, He gave the call. Be strong in grace, be not afraid, His Word is sure! The foe must fall! —T. C. H.

It strikes at the root, at the foundation of our Republic. The foe is not a foreign one; the enemy is not entrenched among the lower classes. His citadel is in the high places. His associates are the edu cators, the professors, the preachers. His name is Satan. He is in rebellion against the authority of Jehovah. He hates the Word. God said, ‘ |In the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die, ’ ’ and Satan said, “ Ye shall not surely die.” Satan’s'lie was believed and God’s Word verified. And from that moment, every soul has carried within itself the seal to the verity of God’s Word^-dhe soul stain which is the proof of Satan’s lie.
