The blessings of home and fireside,
Of friendship, of books, of health,
Of knowledge, of church, of worship,
All these are a part of our wealth.

But off in the sunny Southland,
In a part of our country large,
Are _needs_, which with us are _blessings_,
And to us there comes this charge:--

_Freely received are God's mercies;
And now will ye freely give?_
It will be a glorious mission
To help a nation live.


BLUEHILL, ME.
