filled. Children returned home fully
convinced that Christmas trees were no
humbug, cvcnif they did not come till
New Years, and the friends Of each
pastor thought they needed rest, 50 one
was presented with a splendid study chair
and the other with & beautiful sofa
pillow. The poem was written and read
by the pastor of the Baptist Society.
Also, the valedictory in poetry, written
by Miss Cornelia Coy, was beautifully
rendered. and which We publish by
request.
Dear friends, the old year has silently gone,
Gone and passed like mOurnful song
And as the sun of this lovely morn
Arose and another New Year daWned,
Did we lift our hearts with grateful praise,
And thankful words to our Maker raise;
That we had been spared to greet once more
Our friends and loved ones as OF yOre,
Within the walls of this dear church here,
With another gay and happy New Year;
Dear little children. You are happy / see
And your eyes wistfully turn from speaker to
And wonder which of these presents are thine ;
And it certainly seems very long time
To the anxious heart and waiting mind.
Care and sorrow has dimmed your brow,
And your life is sweet and happy nov.
You have not yet learned disappointment and
woe,
But all is iOv wherever you go:
May the New Year to you a happy one be
And remember Christ says come unto me,
He will not refuse you because you are small,
He loves you the same as though You We're tall.
Nav your life ever be thus joyous and gay.
And grief and tears never cloud your day;
To the youths and friends of this dear Snndsy
School
Another wear Of your life has been told,
And do you not feel that you are almost old.
Three hundred and sixty-fivc more days are
And eighteen hundred seventy-one IS with the
past.
Are y6a Struggling the hill of science to climb
( Let Hope with her finger point straight ahead,
You can succeed ifyOu viii but try;
Press onward, right onward, without sigh,
/ Remember the greatest men of our day
Have fought and batIled and conquered The
Let the iiqht of the eagle ever be thine.
Onward and upward true to the line.
And thus high up on the temple Of fame
May all endeayOr TO inscribe their name.
Ever be honest. upright and true
And the motive be right in all that you do:
And there is q temple not made with hands,
4 temple away in another land
Be sure yOu have an entrance there
In that world above where al IS fair:
For what shall il profit man, you know,
If in the world above he has nothing to show,
For all the years Of his lite spent here:
And when the angel of death IS near,
He realizes not then nor when he is Old.
That he has gained the whole world and lost his
own soul.
Teachers and patrons. your success ] applaud,
And I am sure yOu feel paid by the hustle and
crowd,
YorI n 70 clad Won have made their New Year
daar
You have welcomed them all from many mile,
And wished them Happy New Year the while.
q 1,a,- none Of these dear little faces be missed
When y-0u Gather once more in a scene like this
May these children comfort you when Won are
gray,
And arise and say blessed are they.
