 ��HER PRAYER — FOR HIM

I DO not ask that he may never yield When fighting on the foam or on the field, Since this I know : — Where'er his country calls my man will go.

I only pray

That while he is away

You guard and guide him day by day !

And give me strength to tend his little ones

Until he comes.

On land or sea, — Wherever he may be, God, kiss my man for me !

— Egbert Sandford.
