This week in Adventist history, we look into the publishing of the poem, “What Shall I Wish Thee?” in the January 1, 1974 issue of the Signs of the Times. Written by A. Collet, the poem opens:
“What shall I wish Thee;
Treasures of earth,
Songs in the springtime,
Pleasures and mirth…” Also published in the January 1, 1924 issue of the Asiatic Division Outlook were the words written by Herbert White:
“Once again we are by the providence of God permitted to live to another New Year. The old year with its joys and its sorrows, its victories and its defeats, its pleasures and its disappointments is forever in the past…” Elizabeth Henry tells us more about this story on This Week in Adventist History.
