Oh, come with me, I pray thee, wife, And worship at its shrine, Give thy adhesion to its Cause, And make its interest thine, Its songs are of the right to live For every one who toils, With their freedom of accession To live upon the soil. My heart grew restive at its words, My spirit caught the fire, I joined the utmost of my voice To that most ardent choir, And sang as in my youthful days, Let tyrants prostrate fall, Bring forth the honest man of toil, And crown him, crown him, crown him. Crown him best of all. Come, wife, that fight will soon be o'er The victory's nearly won: The better land is just ahead, I see its rising sun. We're nearing now its happy shore, Where streams of plenty run, And there we'll never want again, There'll be no sorrow there, In that just land where all is love, There'll be no sorrow there. THE UNION LIGHT. (_Tune_: "Stand up for Jesus.") Stand up, the men of Labour, Who toil upon the land, For better homes and wages Make one united stand. Your captains, they will lead you, If you will follow on, Now is the time, O comrades, Haste age to come along. STRONG HUMAN LOVE (_Tune_: "Lead, Kindly Light.") Strong, human love! within whose steadfast Will Is always peace. O stay with me, storm-tossed on waves of ill; Let passions cease. Come thou in power within my heart to reign. For I am weak and struggle has begun. This book, which contains some of the finest phrases with twenty-six songs, was used for years at our meetings as our official hymn-book, but after a time it was revised and in my judgment some of the best hymns were left out. Still, I must not complain, as young folks are anxious to keep up to date. The committee at their last meeting took the step of forming Conciliation and Arbitration Councils, and they decided to move the following resolution at the General Council Meeting:-- That the Executive be authorized to endeavour to form Conciliation and Arbitration Boards for the area in which the Union works. On such Boards the employers and labourers be equally represented and an outside Chairman be appointed, and they shall have power to consider all questions in this area of wages and conditions of work and for the immediate future. Pending the carrying out of this, the Executive Committee be instructed to request the Farmers' Federation to agree to a rise of 1s. per week from March next.
