The New Year.

Tho year 1878 is numbered with the past.
No power on earth con recall 1t or in any way
change tho ovonts which marked its passage into
the great oyole of past ages Sins of commits
sion and omission, neglected opportunities,
wasted moments can never be repaired. We
are all one year nearer the grave. Youth is one
year moro remote and wo have advanced ono
year towards the time when the strong men
shall bow themselves and the grinders cease to
grind. It is good time for reflection. It is q
proper moment to review the past, reform its
errors and start upon q new and better career.
At tho beginning of o new year mon usually
settle old accounts, and then the follies and OK
travaganoics Of the past year are brought pro-
minently before them. AS thcy con item after
item of expense, how few there are but form
resolutions to be moro prudent and economical
in their worldly transactions in the future. The
new year never fails to bring its lessons Of
worldly wisdom and reform. Would it not be
we'll for every individual and for the country, if
men, OF the timo they are thus harvesting worldly
wisdom and settling their accounts with their
fellow men, would reflect on their past lives and
consider the debt of love and gratitude they owe
to Him, who has preserved their lives and their
health for 80 many years. Meditation, says
Spurgeon, is the couch of tho soul. No man
reflects seriously without being benefited both
morally and spiritually. When as they entcr
on new year they think of their hclpessncss
and dependence on God, they cannot fail to form
resolutions of Improvement in their duty to the
Gver of oil good, The day will come, sooner
or later, when all who fail to do This will regret
it. Youth spont, health impaired and time
wasted can mover be recalled. When old age
comes and wo stand on tho verge Of tho grave,
our wealth or our wisdom oan avail us nothing.
Then VIC may think Of our youth, its errors, its
follies, its vanitics, and long to live over our
days that VIC may apply our hearts TO true
wisdom. Our longing will be in vain. Our
youth can never return. Each moment of time
only carries US nearer to the great unknown.
WI cannot stay the ceascless course of timo one
moment We cannot go backward one day.
Our opportunity has been enjoyed and if we
have failed to improve it, ours shall be the fault
and ours the punishment. Tho shipwrcoked
mariner, on lone spot of land, would give oil
ho possessed and oil he ever hoped to possess to
once more plant his foot on tho solid shore.
So the aged, when ho sees before him the open
grave and behind him misspent life would give
all his possessions to once more travel over the
pathway of life, that he might live soberly,
honestly and rlghteously before Cod. Let US
oil, then, at the opening of now year reflect
on these things before it is forever too late, and
while settling our debts with our fellow men,
settle with Him who is our greatest creditor,
and let us oil strive in tho future to value life
for what it is-a preparation for cteruity.
