Let justice never be denied, Resist the wrong, defend the right; Where West meets East stand thou in pride 0f noble life,--a beacon-light.

THE NEW YEAR

The past is gone beyond recall, The future kindly veils its face; Today we live, today is all We always have or need, our day of grace.

The world is God's, and hence 'tis plain That only wrong we need to fear; 'Tis ours to live, come joy or pain, To make more blessed each New Year.
