Night on the sea, and one lone ship
In the midst OF the darkness there,
trackless waste spread all about
And the blackness everywhere.
But cleaning In the sky above
Are seen the beacons of the night.
Set there to guide that lonely ship
Across the trackless sea Alright.
The waves roll high and toss the ship,
A plaything on their turbid crest:
The sea lifts up its eager arms
And opens wide Its hcaving breast
But safely stu the vessel rides.
For one there is who guides Alright,
Because his eyes are fixed upon
Those faithful beacons OF the night
No vessel sailing Ger life's sea
But safely may the harbor And
II the Great Beacon OF the sky
Be ever kept in sight and mind.
The light, at times, may shine but dim,
The way seem dark. the harbor far,
But he cannot get or the course
Who guides his vessel by the Star.

The New Century.
When In the dim gray east shall risa
The morning OF thy birth
When thy first dawn steps from the skies
Upon the hills OF earth
Shall waiting nations breathless stand
Oppressed with haunting fears,
OF what thou holdest In thy hand
Thou coming Hundred Years!
Or shall a glad world welcome thee
With laughter and q song
Thou unborn child OF Destiny
Whose reign shall be so long?
Who knows!-we only know that thou
Shalt enter like a king
Into thy courts-that we must bow.
Whatever thou dost bring.
What matter whether war or peace
Thy heralds shall proclaim
The story OF the centuries
Is evermore the samel
Thy chiidren-years shall tell abroad
Through all thy mighty span.
Naught but the Fatherhood of God
The Brotherhood of Man.
