And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight -- God keeps the key.

"I had a big New Year's Eve - they tell me. But New Year's Eve is a lot of fun. We had a big party. We didn't like our furniture anyway. It was eighteenth-century Provincial. Now it's twentieth-century splinters. I invited Les Brown and the band over. We didn't like our neighbors either. I invited the brass section, too. We don't even like ourselves."

I do not know what still awaits,
Or what the morrow brings;
But with the glad salute of faith,
I hail its open wings!
For this I know --
that in my Lord
Shall all my needs be met;
And I can trust the heart of him
Who has not failed me yet.
