Have Courage To Say No.

HAVE COURAGE TO SAY NO .

YOU ' BE starting to-day on life ' s journey Along on the hig hway of life ; You'll meet with a thousand temptations , Each city with evil is rife . This world is a stage of excitement ,

There's danger wherever you go : But if you are tempted in weakness , Have courage , my boy , to say No !

The Syren ' s sweet song may allure you ; Beware of her cuuninsr and art ; Whenever you see her approaching , Be guarded , and haste to depart . The billiard saloons are inviting ,

Decked out in their tinsel and show ; You may be invited to enter , Have , courage , my boy , and say No !

The bright ruby wine may be offered , No matter how tempting it be : From poison that stings like an adder , My boy , have the courage to flee . The gambling halls are before y ou ,

Their lights how they dance to and fro , If you would be tempted to enter , Think twice , even thrice , ere you go .

In courage alone lies your safety , When you the long journey begin , Ancl trust in a Heavenly Father Will keep you unspotted from sin . Temptations will go on increasing ,

As streams from a rivulet flow , But , if you are true to your manhood , Have the courage , my boy , to say No
