A New Years Thought.

If we knew you and you knew me,
tbs seldom we would Disagree;
But, never having yet clasped hands,
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right,
And treat each other ''honor bright. .
How little to complain there'd be
If knew you and you knew me.
Whene'er we skip you by mistake
Or in your bill some error make,
From irritation you'd be free
If knew you and you knew me.
Or when the checks don't come on time
And customers send US nary line,
We'd wait without anxiety
If knew you and you knew me.
Then let no doubling thoughts abide
Of firm good faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give,
Living ourselves, let others live:
But any time you come this way,
That you will call we hope and pray:
Then face to face we each shall see
And I'll know you and you'll know me
Selected.

To the members of the Columbia and
and Zion Baptist Church:
/ have known the members of the
Columbia Baptist church little more
than a year.
The representatives Of the church
while comforting with US as TO our
acceptance Of their paStOrate showed
a disposition to make the pastOrate
pleasant and comfortable for pastor
and family. This did much to decide
our coming.
On our arrival at the parsonage
many of the members came, bringing
good things to eat and otherwise gave
their welcome
Through the months since, these
expressions Of appreciation have been
repeated
On Christmas eve the lights were
turned on as Christmas gift.
But this did not satisfy their gener-
GUS spirits They gave US another
pounding Of good things too numer-
Gus to menSiOn.
Old Santa came from Zion too,
And Christmas cheer he brings;
He brought four bags Of flour
And many other things.
These gifts and the spirit that
prompted them and in which they
were given, make Us sing "Bless be
the tie that binds.
We thank you.
