"A Happy Metz Year.

A happy New Year," How many
people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? IL
wish you happy New Year," Does
Il not seem that the wish carries
blessing with it? And 1 believe it
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtless
ones who never read between the lines.
Ise u analyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests itself is, what con-
stitutes happiness? A little friend of
mine tells me that 1t Is to eat all the
candy he wants and not to go to bed
until he wants TO do 20. Another

Our Worlds WIckedness.

But for this divine feeling I think
our world would long ago have been
demolished. Just think of the organ
lied wickedness of the nations, See
the denominations continental, Behold
the false religions that hoist Moham-
med and Buddha and Confucius, Look
at the Koran and the Snastra and the
ZendAvesta that would crowd out of
the world the Holy Scriptures, Look
at war, digging its trenches for the
dead across the hemispheres See the
great cities, with their holocaust of
destroyed manhood and womanhood.
What blasphemies assail the heavens.
What butcheries sicken the centuries,
What professions of crime and atrccitv
and woe encircle the globe. If justice
had spoken, it would have said. THE
world deserves humiliation, and let
humiliation come" If immutability
had spoken, it would have said: Il
have always been opposed to wicked
ness and always will be opposed to it,
and away with it," If omniscience had
spoken, it would have said Il have
watched that plane. with minute and
all comprehensive inspection and L
cannot have the offense longer con-
tinued." If truth had spoken. it would
have said, 81 declare that they who
offend the law must go down under
the law" But divine love took diff
