186. The Straight-line Club

1 O we’re the sturdy Straight-line Club,
A Christian band, you see;
For honest work and honest play
United we will be.

Chorus:
Toe the mark, toe the mark,
That’s what you will have to do;
If you would join the Straight-line Club,
You must be true.

2 Deceit we never can abide,
And mean things have no chance,
So toss your ugly tho’ts away,—
We tell you in advance. [Chorus]

3 O we’re the sturdy Straight-line Club,
Come join us while you can;
A boy that lives a straight-line life,
Will make a straight-line man. [Chorus]
