Take up the ark of the covenant and
pass over.-Joshua, 3:6.
The long journey in the wilderness
is over The endless stretches of sand
will haunt the tired eyes of the pill
grims no longer. Beyond the swiftly
gliding river lies Canaan, the Land OF
Promise.
Joshua is a born leader of men and
as such knows what they will do, IL
appealed TO in the right way. The
River Jordan flows between the Prom
be crossed. With the same feeling
that afterward animated Douglas to
take from his breast the jeweled heart
OF the dead Bruce and fling it over the
heads of the advancing foe, shouting:
Fight, my men, for the heart of
Bruce!" so Joshua, with the deep re-
ligious consciousness of a Jew, gives
the order to carry forward the Ark of
the Covenant. No one Of his follow
ers will dream of tagging behind when
he sees that sacred symbol in front.
And SO, following in the footsteps of
the priests, the people, old and young,
cross the Jordan and enter upon a
new phase of their national life.
The parallel between our case, as We
stand on the threshold of new year,
and the Jews on the eve of their en-
tering Canaan is so apparent that it
can be seen at once. AS the tired wan
derers from Egypt stood facing the
Promised Land, so do yon and | stand
facing 1909.
How are we going TO commence our
journey in the new wear? Joshua

Entering the New Year

though he lived long, long ago, and
though he was but leader OF mob
of liberated slaves, can show us the
way. The captain of the Jewish host
sent forward the Ark of the Covenant.
We, who are the children of the larger
hope, can do nothing better than TO
send forward into the new year the
Cross of Christ Why? Because only
by the power of the Cross can we
hope to pass successfully through the
trials and temptations and TO over
come the kings of passion and selfish
ness which so surely lie waiting for
us in the next IL months.
1t must appeal to nearly every one,
this ending of an old year and the be-
ginning of new one. A man must be
dull indeed if il awakens no thoughts
of a larger life, a more consecrated
manhood, a more devoted discipleship.
The past, let us remember, is dead;
the future is always alive. Ii holds
aloft in its strong right hand the
morning star of hope and whispers to
each child of man: 1T is never too
late TO mend.
Let us face the new year with brave
hearts and better determinations, plac-
ing before us as we advance the Cross
of Christ, believing that in proportion
as we are loyal 10 this symbol shall We
have strength given us to endure hard
ness as good soldiers of the Master
patience to suffer without giving way
TO despair, sorrow and misfortune
and spiritual courage, so that we can
come through every temptation tri
umphant and unafraid.
