THOUGHTS FOR THE NEW YEAR
Spent is another year!
Hath it been sad, my friend, or full
of cheer?
If full of cheer, rejoice; for it will be
Forever more a precious memory.
If full of sadness, then rejoice the
more
That it is o’er.
If gainful it hath been, in gratitude
Place it among your treasures that
are good;
If wasted, yet to wo'rry call a truce—
A new year is at hand and waits your
use.
This little verse embodies the
soundest of sound philosophy. Wise
is the man, woman or child who puts
it in faithful practice. If the old
year has laid burdens upon us, now
is the time to drop them; it does not
pay to start with a handicap. If there
is any trouble we can remedy do this;
if we cannot the thing to do is to put
it resdlutely out of the mind, keeping
our faith in the all-good and our
hearts filled with gratitude for what
blessings are ours. That is the way
to begin the year. Only so can we
give our best and win the best from
life. L. S. E.
OUR SOLDIERS ARE
COMING BACK CLEAN
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
This is the song for a soldier
To sing as he rides from home
To the fields afar where the battles
are
Or over the ocean’s foam.
“Whatever the dangers waiting
In the lands I have not seen,
If I do not fall—if I come back at
all—
Then I will come back clean.
I may lie in the mud of the trenches,
I may reek with blood and mire,
But I will control, by the God in my
soul,
The might of my man’s desire
I will fight my foe in the open
But my sword shall be sharp and
keen
For the foe within who would lure
me to sin,
And I will come back clean.
I may not leave for my children
Brave medals that I have worn,
But the blood in my veins shall leave
no stains
On bride or on babes unborn
And the scars that my body may
carry
Shall not be from deeds obscene,
For my will shall say to the beast,
OBEY!
And I will come back clean.
Oh, not on the fields of slaughter,
And not in the prison cell,
Or in hunger and cold is the story told
By war of its darkest hell.
But the old, old sin of the senses
Can tell what the word may mean
To the soldiers’ wives and to innocent
lives,
And I will come back clean.
