Show VOLUME I. MARCH 15, J916. ISSUE DEDICATED TO DIXIES PIONEERS. TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERS iiwowroroa Ye pioneers, Titans, arth giants, men of steel Who toiled and fought, and wrought nnth unabated zeal! Ye have built in Zion not only a city terrestrial But a city ever building, a spiritual city celestial. Tjhough earth clogged spirits still ye loved to move the spheres, Loved to forgetfulness of self, spending through the years Yourselves and yours unstintedly for us the then unborn; TThat we might grow up sheltered from theworldred lust; untorn fF$y passions , and unsmirched by mire; In vales secure to dwell in spiritual desire. TLo spend and to be spent in Gods great service still. Yes, ye were torn and broken on the wheel of life to fill Your destiny as makers of the city on a hill, Whose light now shines to nations and says to all the world, Here dwell the children of the Light, who Qods great flag unfurled.
