The Century's watch Night.


What a meeting on this midnight ID
o'clock, the two professions of the
mighties of two centuries Uncover all
heads and bow reverently in prayer.
Thank God for the good done by the
procession coming out of the past and
pray to God for good to be done by the
procession coming out of the future.
But halt, both professions Halt Halt!
Break ranks Back to your thrones, ye
mighties of the nineteenth century and
enjoy the reward of your fidelity Back
to your homes, We miehties of the TWEEN
tieth century, your congressional chairs,
your judicial benches, your presidential
mansions, your editorial rooms, your
stupendous responsibilities and do the
work for the twentieth century, Fare
we'll and tears for the one procession.
Hail and welcome to the other process
sion.
1t has been a custom in all Christian
lands for people to keep watch night as
an old year goes out and new year
comes in. People assemble in churches
about 10 o'clock of that last night of
the old year, and they have prayers and
songs and sermons and congratulations
until the hands of the church clock al
most reach the figure IL, and then all
bow in silent prayer, and the scene is
nightly impressive until the clock in
the tower of the church or the clock in
the tower of the city hall strikes IL, and
then all rise and sing with smiling face
and jubilant voice the grand doxology,
and there is shaking of hands all
around.
But what a tremendous watch night
the world is soon to celebrated This
century will depart at IL o'clock of the
31st of December, of the year 1900.
What a night that will be, whether
starlit or moonlit or dark with tempest
1t will be such night as you and l
never saw. Those who watched the
coming in of the nineteenth century
long ago went to their pillows of dust.
Here and there one will see the new
century arrive who saw this century
enter, yet they were too infantile to APP
preciate the arrival. But on the. watch
night of which 1 speak, in all neighbor-
hoods and towns and cities and conti-
nents, audiences will assemble and bow
in prayer, waiting for the last breath
of the dying century, and when the
clock shall strike IL, there will be a
solemnity and an overwhelming awe

hold it until the people there wake up
to tie realization that their greatest
security and prosperity lies In annex <,
