New Year. By RAY |. HOFFMAN.

Gaze forth on the bright, shining sun
 of tomorrow, Think not of the faults and mistakes
 of the past, Nor drink from the gall favored goblet
 of sorrow Take one backward look and let that
 be your last. The old year has gone and the new Is
 before us, The road to the future is open to
 you, So mingle your voice with the joy
 swelling chorus And heed to the call of the year that
 is new; Away with the thoughts and the words
 pessimistic, The wrongs of the past and the
 things that annoy; But substitute action and deeds opti-
 mistic
 And anchor yourself in the harbor
 of joy. The future depends upon striving and
 trying
 And doing your best with your own little part, The slogan of all should be "Doing or
 Dying
 Just swing into line with good rum
 ming start, Forget all things past that are border
 ed with sadness. Retain only that which is wholesome
 and sweet; Oh! may the new year be O'erfowing with gladness- A gladness unstinted, minutely com plete. So keep straight ahead on the new opened highway, The sunshine is bright and the sky is clear blue; Retrace not the past's narrow, rough ened old byway, But travel the road of the year that is new.

New Year Greetings.
By R. T. HART.

From out of the dark and silence And separation long In grateful, glad remembrance
 I send this little song: The year has seemed long one
 Without your voice, your smile, Yet blessed, holy memories
 Have cheered each weary mile. In absence still cherish
 These memories of you And send these lines on New Years
 morn
 To pledge my faith anew. God grant that ere 1t closes
 All blessings 1t may bring To you who've frightened many yearn And to whom now will sing. May it be bright and happy,
 And may it's smiles and tears Weave OCT your life rainbow
 Of hope for all your years.

The Old Year. By JOSH WINK.

We bid goodby to thee, Old Year, But not with sad regret; For long the scars of thy sore wounds Will be upon us yet. A record thine of blood and woe, Of nations in fierce strife, The greater one for world control, The weaker ones, for life. Thou hast kept arms in mems gripped
 hands,
 The tears in women'S eyes, The dread In little cfrffdfen's hearts. Death rattles in their cries; Lands hast thou swept of homes and
 crops.
 Where toll contented reigned, Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
 kill,
 With blood the soil hast stained. Across the seas thy direfuf work Hast planted seeds of hate In fearful deeds and wrath to come To live and germinate. o Hateful year, o fatal yearl Pass frdp our shuddering sight. God grant the year which waits its
 birttF
 May bl4 where thou didst blight!

Little New Year.
By KATHERINE FAITH.

 The old, old Year goes out at the foor. But the little New Year comes in sAffd to take the place of the squan-
 dered days There's Year just about to begin! He's dear little chap, Is the small
 New Year. And deep in his eyes of blue Is the promise of all the joy that life Is holding In store for you. Health's shining there-if you'll cross
 your heart To live with wise discretion And then follows Sleep. and then fol-
 lows Play, And Love joins the dim procession. And trailing behind are the ghosts of
 the years That wait on the Grown-Up Shore. And haunt all the paths of After-a-
 While
 That lead to the Futures door. The New Year stands on his tippy-toes And puts in your two brown hands The reins of his steeds, CAN and
 WILL To drive through the deep life sands. And hard he stares with his wistful
 eyes, Wond'ring if you'll get through And hoping that all of the dreams he's dreamed Will have the good taste to come true.

Goodby, Old Year.
By THEODORE H. BoIcE.

The time has come to say goodby, Old Year, for we must part: And 'tis reluctantly we speak The word that wrings the heart. For you have been faithful friend Through all your twelve-month stay. A friend who clung to us by night And walked with us by day. We well remember when you came, A bright and smiling youth, With all the promises of hope And all the cheer of truth. We hailed you then with merry shouts, And fondly clasped your hand; With you we started on the road
 To newer conquests planned. Meath sunny skies we journeyed on
 Along life's thoroughfare, And you were ever at our side,
 In all our joys to share. Through days of toll and days of rest
 We always found you near, A loyal friend, companion true,
 With purpose ever clear. When skies were dark, and rough the
 way,
 And grief and trouble came, You through misfortune to us clung.
 Your friendship e'er the same. Through summers heat and winters cold, Z5rhrough gladness, doubt and fear. [,e 6u with us steadfastly remained A-zzzk- 4 Icy lGsaGa}} G} ffrfend,~ Old Year. But now you're sadly aged, old friend, Your hair is white as snow; Your steps, once firm, are faltering, And you desire to go,
 We cannot keep you 'gainst your will, And so 'tis with sigh We clasp your trembling hand and say
 "Goodby, Old Year, goodby!''

the Years s Close:
By CHARLOTTE FiskE BATES

If fault of mine. or pride or fear, Has cost one soul, or far or near, One bitter pang, one burning tear, May the hurt die with thee, Old Year. If sorrow ever deafened me So that, in vain, on Doubts dark sea. One called on me despairingly, Old Year! o. hide that cry with Thee! If gracelessness in anything Has weighted some poor struggling
 wing,
 Or heedlessness has left sting, O speeding year, my pardon bring! If have failed where need was sore Appreciation's wine to pour, Selfishly keeping 1t in store Now, Heaven absolve me, implore! May every wrong and hurt of mine. Or felt or given, leave no sign, Touched with the blessed anodyne- Good will! Gods peace! the Birth

DISCUSS FOREIGN
MISSIONARY WORK
AMERICAN BOARD
Several Hundred Mission
aries Attending Annual
Meeting of Commission.

Toledo, o., Oct. 21.-The American
board OF commissioners for foreign
missions will begin its annual meeting
in the new auditorium Of the First
church in this city next Tuesday, and
will be i'll session three days. Presi-
dent Edward C. Moore of Boston will
preside. Two to three hundred cor
porate members, returned foreign mis-
sionaries, and workers in home fields
and their wives, officers of the various
women's mission boards and theologi-
cal students will attend, in addition to
many prominent Congregational min
listers and laymen.
Owing to the crisis brought about by
the European war in Armenia and 9th
er foreign fields, the meeting will be
the most important held by the board
since its organization in 1910. Twenty
five missionaries from Turkey, India,
China, Japan, Africa and the Balkans
will be seen and heard in brief speech
es during the three days. Dr.. g. Glenn
Aslins of Provinces is to preach the
annual sermon. Other prominent
speakers will include DR.. Harry p.
Dewey of Minneapolis, Prof. Edward |.
Bosworth of Oberlin, and President
Albert P. Fitch Of Andover Theologi-
cal seminary.
A picturesque session will be that of
Thursday evening, when four young
men from mission fields will tell
"What the American Board Has Done
for Our People" Columbus X. Sim
ango is to prepresent Africa and S. J.
Theodore is to be heard in behalf of
India. Turkey is to be represented
by G. I. Pushman, an Armenian we'll
known in Chicago business circles,
while Shoowu Chuan, a student at
Hartford Theological seminary, will
speak for China.
Probably the liveliest discussion of
the convention will center around the
report of President H. C. King of
Oberlin on South America and the re-
suits of the Panama conference Many
persons believe the American board
ought to establish missions in Latin
America, the only great field in which
it now has no work. Others feel that
till re-enforcements of workers and of
money have been sent to needy and
clamoring ields now occuuied, no new
york should be attempted. Both par
ties will point to the large increase in
subscriptions last year-the receipts
totaling $1,207,000, as an argument
for hir opinions.
