Strong in the strength of the Lord we who fight in the people's cause will never stop until that cause is won
Painting of three pairs of arms against a red field: one gripping a rifle with a bayonet, one a pipe wrench in a work glove, one a wrench in a sleeve cuff, under a quotation beginning 'Strong in the strength of the Lord'. Rifle and tools are set together as one effort, and the scriptural-style phrasing links the cause to religious language.
