pRANCIS GAY and the Lady of the House would like to wish you every blessing and happiness in
this New Year.
Now heres a toast to absent friends, God have them in his care,
And heres a thought for all we love, and happy days well share,

That every mile may bring a smile, no matter what the weather.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through :
Strong Deliverer, be Thou still my strength and shield
