NEW YEARS POEMS: What Makes the New Year New? What makes the New Year new? Not resolutions lightly made, Or worthless dreams born but to fade; But faith in Christ instead of fate, More room for God and less for hate; The world receives its second birth When God through Christ controls the earth. That makes a New Year new. —George W. Wiseman I See a New Day I see a new day coming And all it brings is light, The new and good for mankind Against the dark of night. I see the old things shining In the day that brings to view The good, the kind, the lovely, The heroic and the true. I see this new day dawning— Its sunrise clear and bold Bringing to light the ancient Beautiful things and old. —Raymond Kresensky Continuity We have a contract with the past, Unwritten though it be, To help the dead attain at last The goals they so much longed to see. We have a contract with today; With our contemporaries here, To better the universal way And lessen hate and fear. We have a contract wit htomorrow, That men shall carry out our plan, That they shall have the right to borrow And use our good in their life span. God has a contract with mankind In all ages and with me. Men and the ages intertwined Shall build the City of God to be. —Pliny A. Wiley Too Few Among the Many Too few are rich, but all can be charitable. Too few are heroes, but all can be courageous. Too few are geniuses, but all can be educated. Too few are Caesars, but all can be strong. Too few are famous, but all can be known by their deeds. Too few are saints, but all can be kind. Too few are free, but all can strive for liberty. Too few are film stars, but all can be beautiful. Too few reach the top, but all can climb. Too few, all too few . . . But in today’s world, you can be among the few too. ONE OF OUR VERY POPULAR PLANS RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN This type of plan provides the greatest savings element of any plan of insurance. It provides a level amount of insurance for a period of years after which the benefit starts increasing. When it starts increasing, and thereafter, the cash value is equal to the face amount. By age 65, the cash value for each $1,000 initial face amount is $1,656, which will provide $10 monthly income ($8.84 for women) for the rest of the member’s life with a minimum of 10 years’ payment. Thus, the member can provide insurance upon his life and save for retirement at the same time. Furthermore, his retirement income is guaranteed for life. Age Limits This plan would be issued at ages 16 through 55. Amount Limits This plan would be sold in amounts of $1,000 initial face amount and more, up to the Federation’s usual limits of issue. It is suggested, however, that if the member were using the plan to save for retirement, he would require at least $5,000 or $10,000 insurance so that a retirement income of at least $50 to $100 a month would be guaranteed. Supplementary Benefits The accidental death and waiver of premium benefits can be issued witli this plan. The additional amount payable upon accidental death would be the initial death benefit under the certificate. This plan has substantial cash and paid-up insurance values upon default in premium payment. Early Retirement By applying the cash value under a life income settlement option, the member can start receiving a retirement income at any time prior to the normal retirement age of 65. The income will, of course, be less than at age 65 due to there having been fewer premiums paid and due to the greater expected future lifetime of the member.
