High honor to the mighty man, Who, with his firm, true-hearted band. Came out across the wide, wild plain. And here, upon the waste and sand, Built up an empire to his fame And to the glory of the land. He saw the hand that becked him on. He followed ever firm and strong. And ever dauntless in the way (The straight and narrow way) he trod. Ah see ! Therein his greatness lay, He feared no man —but God. Bela Curtis. Chicago, niinois.
