 The selections of Vice Chancellor Garrison, of New Jersey, to be secre- tary of war is in line with th- idea the president-elect always has had that the head of the war depart1ent should be a man of unusual adminls- trative ability.

 Tlis solemn oath today Are gathered all a nations hopes and
 fears
 Guide him alright, we pray. Thy children. groopng blindly to-
 ward the light
 Throughout the ages long, Have often missed the purpose of
 thy thought
 And blundered into wrong. But still with forward faces toward
 the right
 We leave the troubled past At birta endowed with breath of God,
 We must
 Look upward to the last, And come before thy mystic. unseen
 throne,
 With naught of pomp today To bring the chosen leader of our
 race
 And humbly kneel and pray. We cannot point the way that he should walk today: Tay thoughts beyond us rise And so we ask thee, Lord, to ever lift.
 The veil before his eyes Show him thy light and from thy bounty grant To him vision clear, That he may lead us on our forward way
 Devoid of guile or fear
