THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.

LIE OLD AMI NEW 1Eah.
The old year has gone, we have al
ready entered upon the the new
year and we recall with regret II
many golden moments triied away;
the precious time that God has given
US to improve, wasted. We might have
lived so much better; we might have
cheered some lonely hearts or raised
the fallen by the wayside. We might
have been more thoughtful of others
and less thoughtful of self. We might
have by loving smiles and kind words
made sunshine instead of gloom in our
homes. But regrets are vain, we can
not recall one word spoken or undo
one deed done So IS the year has winged
it's flight and is numbered with the past
let US bury all our faults and misdoings
in q fathomless grave and at the begin
ming of the new year make firm re-
solve to live for nobler things. Now is
the time to make new resolutions and
rot only make them but determine
to keep them. So let every one be
thankful this festive season for we nave
much to be thankful for. God has in
deed been good to us during the past
year. He has blessed us abundantly;
He has showered his blessings upon US
each day; He has preserved our lives
and has given US health and strength.
Then should our hearts not swell to
overdowing with gratitude to Him, the
giver of all good gifts. So while we
enjoy health and the comforts of life,
while we are gathered around our fire.
sides, happy with our loved ones, let us
not forget those whose hearts are bow
ed with grief There are many homes
plunged in the darkest gloom. Homes
where bereavement has come, where
some loved one has been called away.
Into such homes the advent of the new
year brings no joy, no sunshine; so let
us pray for them that they may DE sus-
tanned by the help of Him who said:
"Come unto Me all ye that are weary
and heavy laden and / will give you
restn Let US remember the needy and
be willing to administer to their need.
The lowest place of service is the high
est point of character. Wishing all
happy New Year, let all join in saying:
Bless the Lord, OH my souland forget
not all His benefits. G.. @.
