     Our Institute is as one large family, sharing each others 
     
     burdens and with a few minor differences at times, quite material, 
     
     but working together for the bigger and better things of life. 
     
    
   
   
    
     God grant us grace to carry on 
     
    

    
     The noble work and true 
     
    

    
     And may we hold the Challenge high 
     
     For other ones to do.

     HER SONG 
     
    

    
     The morning bites with frosty teeth, 
     
     The fog cloaks all 
     
    

    
     The wind whips round the chimney tops, 
     
     The mercury falls, 
     
    

    
     But suddenly the gloom is gone, 
     
     Sent scattering, 
     
    
   
   
    
     It isn’t spring, but near at hand 
     
     A housewife sings.
