And Locai
AT PORTLAND CHURCHES SUNDAY
If l knew you and you knew me.
How little trouble there would be.
We pass each other on the street.
But just come out and let us meet
AT CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.
Each one intends to do what’s fair.
And treat his neighbor on the square.
But he may not quite understand
Whv you don't take him bv the hand
AT CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.
Th is world is sure a busy place.
And we must hustle in the race.
Eor social hours some are not free
The six week days, but all should be
AT CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.
We have an interest in our town—
The dear old place must not go down.
We want to push good tilings along.
And we can help some if we are strong
AT CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.
Don’t knock and kick and slam and slap
At everybody on the map;
But push and pull and boost and boom.
And use up all the room
AT CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.
