Card of Thanks
A friend stood at the door;
I11 either tiglit closed hand
Hiding rich gifts, three hun-
dred and three score;
Waiting to strew them daily
over the land,
Each drop he treads in it, and
passes by,
Even as the sower.
It cannot be made fiuitful
till it dies,
Friend, come thou like a
friend,
And whither bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot
comprehend
Will hold our patient hands,
each in his place,
And trust thee to the end:
of making many resolutions
at the first of the year to be!df
quickly broken, let us strive ^
to meet each day bravely, and
take what it briugs unques-
tioningly.
Oh, hand some lamp like
hope above the unknown
waj,
Kind years to give our spirit
free scope,
And our hand strength to
work while it is day.
You owe it to your city to
make the following resolutions
with the coming of the new
year—
To join the Civic League.
To be an active worker in
the year 1916. , ^
To make your home more , M
