LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT. Written by Cardinal Newman, and one of | the late President McISinley's favorite hymns. | It will be sung at St. Patrick's hall tomorrow l forenoon and at City hall tomorrow afternoon.J Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! | Keep Thou my feet! I do not ask to The distant scene; one step enough for nae.
 was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
 Shouldst lead me on; loved to choose and see my path; but now
 Lead Thou me on!
 I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears,
 Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.
 So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still
 Will lead me on Der moor and fen, OCT crag and tor rent, till
 The night is gone And with the morn those angel faces Which have loved long since Q, and lost awhile.
