That year we hold the loveliest of It's

NEW YEARS DAY

With mirth and joy the New Year
comes again,
Fair aspirations hover in its train,
And golden hopes of peace and right
eouSnesS
That show the good to which we might
attain.
Why fingers peace? Why groans the
weary earth?
And why, mid splendors. do men die
of dearth?
How long for harvest must the now
ers wait?
When shall the longed for New Day
have it's birth?
Be patient, brother; let us do our best,
And strive amain at Brotherhood's be-
hest
To raise the fallen and to cheer the
weak;
And leave to ripening Time and
Heaven the rest.
