Tersely Told by Conscien- tious Correspondents And now w« hear the tolling bell, That sounds the Old Year’s dying knell, And safa within the fleeing past Its good and evil will be Cast, To oft return, in future hour, Brought by retentive memory’s power. And what the New Year, ere it close, Hay have in store, no mortal Knows. But if all men were good and true. And would thair Christian duty do. The world would seem to h -re again “Sweet peace on earth, good will to men!” Then all could shout, the whole wo. Id through, “Ring out the Old! Ring ia the New! O i, think of those bound down by sorrow, Now longing for some glad tomorrow To lighten up the heavy load, That they must bear upon life’s road, Who journey on from day to day, Along life’s sold and rugged way, Still longing, as they onward tread, For deeds undone or words uuaaid, Though friendly smile or kindly hand — Taro things at everyone’s command— Would help to soothe the gnawing pain. Or break the links of sorrow’s chain. So, Christian friends, your duty do tting out the Old! Ring in the New! Within a learned land like this Some think that ignorance is bliss, While ruthless hands and schemimr fools Maks rule or ruin their vicious tools; With no respect to God or man, Destructive methods are their plan; Not using methods for defence. Resort they te fool’s violence; Imaginary wrongs they’d right, By senseless torch or dynamite. Ob, rulers of our mighty land. Check this vile scourge with firmer hand! Thea tranquil peace will come in lie-u — Ring out the Old! Ring in the New! * Bear this in mind, what e’er befall. The baud Divine rules over all. And when we greet the glad New Year, With all its joy and social cheer. Let each resolve hie best to give. That this old world may better live, And as we go but once this way, Let’s shed sweet sunshine's golden ray, And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down By adversity’s cold, sullen frown. Then when the sands of life are run, We'll here the welcome, Well, well done! C oms , reap the joys prepare 1 for yon!” Ring out the Old! Ring in the New! —G eorge W.
