Nodlaic shúgach
Is Bliadhain Nuadh sheunmhar
Do gach aon
De chlann na nGaodhal;
Sláinte fhada
A's saoirse a d-tíre,
A's easbhuidh bhrúide
Le saoghal na saoghal!
Ó bhruid Shasanuigh
Ní'l ach am beag
Go m-béidh siad saor,
Go deó is choidhch';
Muna bh-fuigh Parnell é
Le cáint is chómrádh
Gheabhfuigh croidhte cródha é,
Nár chlis ariamh.
Seo ár nguidhe
Gách la is d' oidhche,
'S fuagruigheamh go minic é
Le guth is peann',
Nách m-béidh Éireannaigh feasda
'Na g-ceoláin shuarach,
Gan tir gan teanga
Aig a g-clann'.
Bídheadh bróid mhór orraibh,
A Fhiló-Celtuighidh,
Do chongbhuigh an spioraid
Beó go beacht,
Tá 'nois in áirde,
'S nách n-ísleóchaigh choidhche
Go m-béidh 'n námhuid ruaigthe
As ar measg!
We hope the supporters of the Gael
and the Irish Language Movement
will redouble their energies until Irish
autonomy is a fixed fact. Twelve years
ago, when the agitation for the preser¬
vation of the Language assumed a tan-
gible form, the prospect of Irish auton-
omy seemed very blue indeed. But
the cry of "Land and Language" which
issued from its ranks have revolution-
ized the "Great British Empire" and
brought Irish Freedom to be an accom-
plished fact.
Owing to the obligations contracted by the So-
ciety in connection with the purchase of their pia-
no, they have decided on having a little Fair to
raise funds to meet said obligations, and have on-
ered the following

Members and regular members who do not pay

a bit of shame these will sometimes ask "How

what they owe to the Society it would be well e¬
nough.
