THE PASSING AWAY OF 1891.
It is getting very near the time
for poor old Ninety-Four to go out
for good. The bell-ringers *re wai -
ing for the clock to strike that
they may ring in Ninety-Five. He
comes so cheerfully, a bright-eyed
open-hearted, cu ly-headed boy,
and hands you a pure white slate,
up >n which you will write your
life-s ory for the year.
He tells you that whatever is
writ m fan s It can’t be blue
penciled, it can t be x’d, and no
rubber will erase it. Frightened?
Well, pe haps each of us is.
Welcome the boy Ninety-Five
with a ringing of bells and the
singing of sweet songs,if they will,
but you and land our neighbor,
who have met so many years when
j they were young, let us greet him
: with a prayer, a short one, perhaps
i only one word.
Yet there is a better prayer, ami
one that,if we say it, will, through
all the year, give us a helper. Say
it in your heart, you who are my
j neighbor, and remember that I
am saying it with you :“Lord,l be
lieve, help thou my unbelief.”
Then no matter wha ! may come
no matter ho v great the sorrow,
you will have faith, and with it
you can do anything.
