F OREWORD We who are girls stand here beside the gate, The gate our country late has opened Wide. We see our brothers go and feel their pride; But we, we can but stand aside and wait. Country, our Mother, is there naught that we, We who are girls can give or do or share? Are these strong bodies weak, these hands too fair To have a part in this crusade for thee? Then spoke the Mother, iiLo! the broken wall! Fair handsathe gap, strong bodies-fill the breach; Steady, unfearing, each upheld by each, No heart too weak to help, no hand too small. Strength, Purity and Truth, the walls that stand, For which men die to save their native land. ABIGAIL FITHIAN HALSEY. Page 3
