Hardships will be your lot, but trust in God, he will give you comfort. Temptation will befall you, but the teachings of our Saviour will give you strength. Let your valor as a soldier and your conduct as a man be an inspiration to your comrades and an honor to your country. General Pershing

Toiling Upward!

LEADER: No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

ASSEMBLY: The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,

bymn

But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

Press On, Press On, Ye Sons of Light

Prepared for the Fight!

LEADER: Without labor there is no arriving at rest, nor without fighting can the victory be reached.

ASSEMBLY: If thou art unwilling to suffer, thou refusest to be crowned, But if thou desire to be crowned, fight manfully, endure patiently.

LEADER: Without a combat thou canst not attain unto the crown of patience.
ASSEMBLY: Be thou therefore always prepared for the fight,
If thou wilt have the victory. Thomas a Kempis

On! Sail On!

LEADER: They sailed! They sailed! Then spake the mate:
This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.

He lifts his lip, he lies in wait,

With lifted teeth, as if to bite.

Brave Admiral, say but one good word:
What shall we do when hope is gone?
The words leaped like a leaping sword:
'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'

ASSEMBLY: And then a speck!

A light! a light! a light! a light!
It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!

It grew to be Time's burst of dawn!

He gained a world; he gave that world

Its grandest lesson: On! sail on!' Joaquin Miller

Play Up! Play the Game!

LEADER: The sand of the desert is sodden red

ALL:

Red with the wreck of a square that broke
The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honor a name,
But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:
'Play up! Play up! and play the game.'

Carry On! My Soul! Carry On!

CARRY ON! CARRY ON!

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND TRUE;

BELIEVE IN YOUR MISSION, GREET LIFE WITH A CHEER,

THERE'S BIG WORK TO DO, AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE HERE.

CARRY ON! CARRY ON!

LET THE WORLD BE THE BETTER FOR YOU;

AND AT LAST WHEN YOU DIE, LET THIS BE YOUR CRY:

CARRY ON, MY SOUL! CARRY ON!

Call to Worship

LEADER: Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

LEADER: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.

We Would See Jesus

LEADER: John was standing, and two of his disciples.

And he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith,

Behold, the Lamb of God!

ASSEMBLY: And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed

Jesus.

LEADER: And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them,

What seek ye?

ASSEMBLY: And they said unto him, Teacher, where abidest thou?
LEADER: He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see.

ASSEMBLY: Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith unto him,

We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

LEADER: And Nathaniel said unto him,

Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?

ASSEMBLY: Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, by whose voice the fishermen were called to a better fishing, constrain us, we pray thee, by that same loving call, to follow thee to the saving of others. Thou hast indeed been calling us this great while, as we listened indifferently, and turned to our small tasks once more. But now we are longing for the same spirit that drew the fishermen straightway to thy side for service. Grant that we may be swift to answer thee, and to take on the true spirit of thy ministry. Amen. Philip E. Howard

Commit Thy Way Unto Him Responsive Reading (Matthew vi: 25-33)

LEADER: Jesus said: therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what shall put on.

ye

ASSEMBLY: Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the

raiment?

LEADER: Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?

ASSEMBLY: And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?

LEADER: And why are ye anxious concerning raiment?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

ASSEMBLY: Yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

LEADER: But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

ASSEMBLY: Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? LEADER: For after all these things do the Gentiles seek;

For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ASSEMBLY: But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; And all these things shall be added unto you.
