tower, which was begun in lilo by
Filippo and Ottono Garisenda, and

1T is the presence of Christ in our days

Of the past is failure. Prospection
without Christ to cheer and encourage
is discouraging and perilous. New
Years resolutions without the Christ

dismal failure. Samuel Johnson gave
expression to this truth when he said:

great man. But we I'll have to make the

are trying in our strength to make and
keep New Years resolutions. But Sam
uel Johnson did not rest there. His
prayer was finally: 20 God, grant ne to

going to forget those things which are
behind he did not mean that he locked
the past in the chamber Of impenetra-
BILE oblivion and rushed heedlessly on

No: but he did mean that the failures

not to handicap and discourage him

those same failures and mistakes and

him by which he would avoid those same

A ND in the speech of the days of the
n past is found prophecy of the fu-
ture. No one who stands upon the
threshold of the New Year but wonders
what is hidden within its bundle of days.
Man never possesses more than the pres
ent; God is the custodian of the future.
But the days Of the past may furnish
something more than a hint sometimes
of what the future will be. The sowing
of the past brings the reaping of the flu
ture. Do you fear to let the days Of the
past speak because they may prophesy
Of an unhappy fruitage to be garnered
from the days of sowing gone by? Per-
haps; but will foolish blindness and re-
fusal to hear the message of the days Of
the past avert the undesirable reaping OF
the future? Nay, verify! Days should
speak, and multitude of years should
teach wisdom" And IL we patiently and
humbly receive their message we may be
able to change defeat into victory, and
failure into success. Ard what is the
supreme message Of the days and the
years? 1t is not of man and his 6oings,
but Il is of Christ and what He has done
for man. The days Of Christ upon
earth have not ceased to speak. Christ
the Son Of God, Christ the perfect man,
Christ the sacrifice for sin. Christ the
Saviour of the world. And every day
since Christ wrought out the redemption
OF man from sin has been laden with tho
message OF the Christ.
