TRUST IN THE
FUTURE
A New Year's Poem
By WHITTIER
. I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
. Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait tae muiiled oar.
No harm from him can come to
me
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where his islands
lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Bevond his love and care.

green lanterns, with a candle of pis-

should be seated on mats or low seats,
and the menu should contain dishes
