“Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in
the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the dusk falls early and the 
friendly evenings lengthen under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to our people
to join together in praising the Creator and Preserver, who has brought us by a 
way that we did not know to the end of another year.”
