Greetings
Greetings to all our readers for the New Year ! May its every day be to them a spiritual Christmas, and God's angels their Santa Claus ! To our loved young country," too, a greeting ! To God's kind keeping we commend it in all the years that are to come. ' Our fathers' Cod ! from out Whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand. . . We thank Thee for the eia done, And trust Thee for the opening one. ' Oh, make Thou us, through centuries long, -In peace secure, in justice strong*; Around our gifts of freedom draw The safeguards of Thy righteous law ; And, cast in some diviner mould, Let the new cycle shame the old.'
