his old family Bible reads thus: "On
Thursday, the 22d day of September,
A. D., 1876, about As minutes after 7
O'Clock in the evening, it pleased AL
mighty God in his holy and benign
Providence to remove by death my be-

Farewell 1900. Welcome 1901, An
other year and century passed away
as the old clock in belfry of time struck
the hour of II last Monday night. A
new year and century also are at hand!
1loW strange it seems to us! AS we
review the year just closed, and think
or all the god things it has brought
TO us IN our lives, and our homes; as
we remember the countless mercies
and blessings which have crowned and
crowded our pathway, as the days
were gong by; let US recognize the
loving, benefcent hand of the Divine
Giver, and offer Him now the true,
sincere gratitude of our hearts.
Wonderfully and richly has the Lord
blest us in ten thousand ways during
the past golden year and the cen fury
that is now gone to return no more!
Thank heaven fDr 1919, and also for
the nineteenth century! May we not
have lived those blessed, but now de.
parted years in vain.
Let us learn lessons of wisdom from
the many mistakes and failures of our
past lives, and redeem the time that
remains,
Wonderful indeed has been the
past century, we believe, by far, the
mostSwonderful Of all, on the lines Of
invention and discovery; of the arts
and sciences; of the grand, signal and
glorious triumphs of civilization, edu-
cation and Christianity; of sublime
victories on the side of truth and right.

The history 70 that century is in
many respects glorious one in the
record Of this old world! Let US re

have lived in that remarkable period
of time.
Another century lies before us; an
other year is at hand! The clear, clean
pages of the new volume of 1901 are
now at our hands.
What shall the record be in each of
our lives? We bid the new year well
come to our hearts, our lives and our
homes. What it has in store for us
we cannot tell. 1t is, indeed, well that
we do not know. We have just been
wishing each other a "Happy New
Year." Let us seek to make it such to
ourselves, and to all with whom we
may associate. Let us resolve to make
it "happy'' year in it's truest and
best sense. Let the months and years
OF the opening century be consecrated
by us to noble, lofty and holy pur-
poses! Let us seek to make it the
best and grandest period of our lives.
Let us each, by Gods blessing, make
noble, manly record on the new pag-
es which to-day lie before us
We are to remember that we are liv-
ing for the future, for eternity! What
Shall the new year and century witness
for us in the pathway of life?
Golden opportunities for doing good
are before us. The opening century is
radiant with hope and Inspiration!
What path shall We pursue? Which
way shall we go? Will any one be
made better and happier by our living
this year?
Shall we, by word and deed, send sun
shine and joy into human hearts and
homes? Oh, let us live wisely and we'll
