a much more popular holiday than Christmas n

IN Colonial times a popular holiday only n Vir-

Roman churches were popular. The Puritans con-
s,5ered the celebration of Christmas positively
sinful as partaking too much OF ''popery and
ureacy" and Thanksgiving Day was the great
festival OF New-England. To-day Christmas out
ranks II popularity both Thanksgiving and New
Years, and its proximity TO the rst day OF the
new year has tended 10 eclipse the latter alto

the Rev. William r. Hunt, OF Orange, y. J.. and

report Of the commission these two speakers re-

A Happy New Year.

FOR THE NEW YEAR
The short noon weeps that the hours are feet
And hides the steps OF the suns bright feet;
But the moon laughs low in the midnight sky,
For she sees the suns face from her throne on
high.
Behind the blank OF the vaporous seas
Clean still. as OF old the Hesperides-
The bloom o. the rose tree Is wtthered and goes
But a new flower sleeps in the root OF the rose;
And spring shall coma with flute and = fire.
Ana wake new passion and old desire.
The scarlet peoples shall fame and pass
Out of the clusters OF cool young grass;
And the brook shall dance against warm green
And the brown fields uur-nez with shocks and
sheaves.
Out of the city that roars and cries
I send you a dream OF delight Of the eyes
OFT Of the heart Of the winter-trae
7 send you a leaf from the young years primo
Out Of the toll and the trouble of night
1 send you q song of the dawIs deAsht.
For all things die TO arise again.
Save pain, and sorrow, the shadow OF pain;
And beyond the reach Of the rack and the rod
