A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A happy new year to you, child of
today. May you know more of sun
shine than of cloud, and more of glee
than of sorrow; may your tumbles and

and long, your play be unrestrained,
your sleep refreshing and your dreams
pleasant
happy new year to you, bright
youth and rosy checked maiden of our
city and country, all happinesss in
the ambition, the joy, the friendship,
the competitions and the rewards of

deavor whereby the firm, enduring
basis of true manhood and of noble
womanhood are laid; with what success
comes two-fold happiness-happiness
! to others and happiness to yourselves.
Go forth gaily and confidently into the
new year, you who are are beautiful
in the fresh vigor of your youth.
To you, whose lives are hallowed
with the grace of maternity, not one,
many, many years of happiness, Live

to see the lives you have cherished ex-
pand into beauty and usefulness--live

wards of gratitude, of veneration and
of love.
A happy new year to you grand

Look out upon all around you and
see how passing fair the evening is,

cornerstone Laid.

The cornerstone of the new Bap-
fist Church was laid with simple
ceremonies yesterday afternoon.
While it is frequently customary to
lay the cornerstone of church edi-
fees before they are dedicated, IN
this instance it was deferred until
after the dedication ceremonies for
a number of reasons, among others
being the fact that they found they
could not we'll lay the stone just
before the dedication, and they then
decided to wait and deposit an ac-
count of the dedication in the box.
Among the things deposited in
the church were some leaves out
of the old Church Bible; the Church
Covenant, a copy of the Maryland
Messenger, the church paper which
contained an account of the church;
an historical sketch Of the church
during the first twenty-five years
of it's existence; copies of The Daily
Banner, Jan. Is, 1910, and the
Cambridge Record ,Jan.17, 19l0,con-
tanning accounts Of the destruction
of the frame church building; a
COPY of The Cambridge Record OF
May "a, 1911, containing an account
of the dedication exercises, and 4
list of the names of the Chufch
Building Committee. A Lincoln
penny was also put into the box

gregation and friends who had ga

CrothePs Strong With The $1,000,
He Says.

To the Editor of The News:
From certain sources. and notab-
" the press. the impression is given
that the candidacy of Governor Gro
theirs has been weakened by his &C.
tivity in the Police Board trial. Ger
tainly these impressions were not
gathered from that large rank and
file of voters who give little atten-
ton and less expression to politics
and whose part is played only at
the polls when they quietly and 81
lentIy cast their vote according to
their conviction (the $4,000.
My inquiry discloses that among
the right thinking people, those
who are more Interested in the high
moral tone of their city,the church
people and the mothers and fathers
who with young sons and daughters
to rear to respectable man and wo-
manhood, Governor Crothers has
gained thousands Of adherents,
where he has lost hundreds.
When a man in public office has
the moral courage to do his duty as
he sees it, when that performance
holds out promise Of great sacrifice.
he deserves the support Of the
public, in whose interest he under
takes it. An executive whose pro-
gressiveness has brought forward
more constructive legislation and
policies than Maryland has been
accustomed to should not be over
looked by the masses of people in
whose interest he has faithfully Ia
bored. w. IL. Kllllan.
