MIR. MILBURN,s NEW YEARS.
Some Thoughts He offered His People
Mt Vespers.

at Vespers.
At the vesper service at the First Pres
byterian Church yesterday afternoon Rev.
J. A. Milburn talked Of the greetings of the
season. I'VE have met to-day and have
wished each other happy New Year, 4"
the pastor said. 1--WE have meant it, too;
it is not simply thought-it is the real ut
terance of the heart. Fundamentally men
are tender and kind to each other"
Mr.. Milburn went on to say that his hear
ers should know that the coming year will
not be year of peace and happiness to all
people. Many are disqualified from being
happy for various reasons. Some cannot be
happy because Of their excess of ambition
They want too much. Others are defeated in
their pursuit of happiness by narrowness
and limitedness. They live too much IN the
small segment Of their being.
God means that all people shall live
happy lives" said the pastor. what a
glorious world this Is, and God has put us
here to grow larger. God has given US all
kinds of truths for all kinds of minds
When we are in a serious mood He has
in light mood He has given US
light fiction that we may laugh
large the world is. God has given you the
whole human race and every man and wom-
an that lives has a demand on your heart
God wants your heart and mind to be
large. Now, we must do something to be
happy First of all, no man can live within
himself and be entirely happy. Let US live
in nature and for humanity. If there are
some who suffer and are destitute, let US
live for them By giving our lives and love
to those who suffer we shall find happiness
in their blessings. There is no way we can
the lives of other men. We must learn self
COmposure, too There is no man l like so
we'll as the statuesQue man-the man who
will not permit himself to be amazed and
disturbed by the small things of life. We
must learn the fact that we are a greater
force than circumstances. Rule your own
passions and your desires. Be self-cOmposed
in the year 1899 and you will be happy. We
must also have great, strong faith. When
some great sorrow comes to US what are
we going to do? You have been fortunate
but this may be your bad year. What refuge
have you, what arm to lean on when sorrow
cOmeS-When death comes to take your
child, your father or mother or your wife?
When this sorrow comes. what then? Faith
real faith; faith in the God that makes ali
things just. Faith in the God who is near
to you when you are in need"
Mr.. Milburn thanked his friends who had
thoughtfully placed a watch on his desk
The ttmepiece had been set in the top Of
the desk and viii remain there. Mr.. Mil
burn said he had abandoned the habit Of
carrying watch and often had been great
~ worried during his sermons, fearing he
was preaching too long or not long enough
BY the thoughtfulness of his friends. he
said, he would hereafter be saved the EN-
barrassment.
