Third Liberty Loan
The campaign for the third Liberty Loan begins April 6.
A new anthem has been composed and dedicated to the success
of this third appeal of Uncle Sam for funds. It is designed for
use throughout the country. Let it be read and sung every-
where. The music is by Mrs. George Barton French, and the
words by Charles W. Gordon:
Heaven sent Liberty, our nation's pride,
Our fathers fought for thee, fought, bled and died ;
Then was our flag unfurled, emblem sublime,
A light unto the world through endless time.
Our watchword still shall be, "In God we trust,"
Striving that all may see our cause is just,
We fight for Liberty and shall not cease
Till freedom's victory brings lasting peace.
Now in our Allies' land, breasting war's tide,
Our sons march hand in hand, God is their guide.
Once more we hear the call, "Keep the world free;"
Rise! Rise! and give your all for Liberty.
