N ew Y e a r’s Morning By HEUS MUNT JACkSON N LY a night from old to new! Only a night and »0 much wrought! The Old Year's heart all weary grew, But said, “ The New Year rest has brought." The Old Y ear’s heart its hopes laid down As in a graye, but, trusting, said, “ The blossoms of the New Year's crown Bloom from the ashes of the dead." O The Old Year's heart was full of greed; W ith selfishness it longed and ached And cried, “I have not half I need; My thirst is bitter and unslaked. But to the New Year's generous hand All gifts in plenty shall return: True lorin g it shall understand; By all my failures it shall learn I have been reckless; it shall be Quiet and calm and pure of life. I was a slave; it shall go free And find sweet peace where I leave strife ” Only a night from old to new! Night and the healing balm of sleep! Each morn is New Year's morn come true. More of a festival to keep. All night-, are sacred nights to make Confession and resolve and prayer. A ll days are sacred days to wake New gladness in the sunny air.

NEW YEAR BELL IS SILENT. Famous Relic of American Independ ence Formerly Rang In the Year. E very New Year's eve citizens o f Philadelphia gather round the shrine o f Liberty, independence hall, to hear the N ew Year rung in. Form erly this service was performed by the bell now known as the Liberty bell. Before that memorable day In 1770 when the nation’s fathers gave forth to the world their Declaration o f Inde pendence. whose signing was heralded by the ringing o f the bell. N ew Y ear'* rejoicing was started by the first peal o f what is now known as the Liberty belL A fte r the events o f July 4 , 1776, made the bell one o f the most price less relics o f the nation, custodians o f Independence hall restricted Its use, fearing some mishap, and a fter 1830 the bell was no longer used for the N ew Year's salute. In 1832, on the cel ebration o f George Washington's birth day. It was rung and not again for three years, when on July 8, 1833, while the funeral procession o f Chief Justice Marshall was passing, the bell was tolled. Suddenly the note grew discordant. An investigation was made. I t was found that a rack had been started. The bell had completed its task. No more would it greet the N ew T ear or pay tribute to the nation's great. But from the tow er o f Liberty's cradle an other bell alw ays welcomes the com ing o f a N ew Year.— S t Paul Pioneer Press. will be the respective themes o f pulpit discourses at the Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday morning and evening.
