THE UNBROKEN LINE. vr who have trod the border lands of death, Where courage high walks hand In hand with fear, Shall not hearken what the Spirit salth, "All ye were brothers there, be brothers here." We who have struggled through the baf fling night, Where men were men and every man divine, While round us brave hearts perished for the right lily challced sheltholes stained with lfe's rich wine. Let us not loose the exalted love which came From comradeship vv 1th danger and the Joy Of strong souls kindled Into living flame 11 y one supreme desire, one high em ploy.
