Some cynic may say it will be the

Ping Out,
Wild Bells

HHkA>M ne UytnS CIOuuJ AAS
BSHRNgB frosty light;
EASA The year is dying in the
night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no
more;
Ring out the feud of rich and
poor;
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife'
Ring in the nobier modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and
blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and
right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust OF
gold;
Ring out the thousand wars OF
old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

T refused to betray the boys conf

ilege I had contended for; that this
confidence should be respected by the
courts in the interest of truth and
justice.
The lower court disagreed with
me. I was found guilty of contempt.

They were not liars. The courts
were simply stupid institutions that
promoted lies and neriury. They did
not know how to lift the spell of fear
that was the cause of the lies.
