upon the term year" That another
year has come is relatively unimpor.
tant. The stress is to be laid not on
the quantity but on the quality Of
ones life. All that an earnest soul
can do is to live each day of the new
year by itself. as it comes in its turn.

ways. watch unto prayer and boast
not themselves of the morrow. SUM-
cient unto each day Is the burden and
blessing thereof.
The newness of the new year Is es.
sentially a newness of spirit. A new
man will always enjoy the new year.
When another January arrives 1t Is
distinctively the time to slough off the
old and to put on the new. There is
an old nature to be discarded, and a
new spiritual manhood to be assumed.
The trouble with many people, how.
ever. is that they try to remake and
to reform themselves, forgetting that
few good resolutions. more or less
loosely kept, can at best only touch
the outside and possess no interior
efficacy in the recesses of the spirit.
The new man who Is really worthy of
the name is the new man in Christ
Jesus. Where Jesus Is there Is always
newness of experience. renovation OF
the moral nature, freshness Of hope
and resiliency of elastic joy. It is
not necessary to wait until the first
of January In any approaching year
to win the wisdom Of such heavenly
faith or to experience the benefits of
such spiritual quickening. The
promise OF God is now, to every one
that believeth. Each morning may be
resurrection day. each evening a
time Of golden promise fair. yet not
as fading. as the sunset. The New
Year Joy is for all of life, all the
time.
1t Is stimulating and encouraging to
feel that brand new year Is offered
for happy employment, and that the
old records with their motley pages.

fresh, unstained pages substituted in
their place. It is helpful to remind one
self that those broken resolutions Of
1908 may be renewed In 1909, and,
what is better, reinforced by more OF
that prayer and divine grace for want
OF which the idealizing resolves of the
past year were soon forgotten or went
so sadly unfulhlled The new year
means, accordingly. new hope, a new
song, new endeavor, q new outlook.

These were presented to the king as
an omen of good fortune. The gifts
became more pretentious as time went
on, and In later centuries some Of the
Roman emperors demanded New Years
presents of great value from the
''magnates" of those days. AS the
Roman rulers were gentlemen who
were not to be trifed with, the pres
ents usually appeared on time after
notice to the wealthy was given.
Ic was in Rome, too. that the habit
of masqueradng at New Years ap-
pears to have originated The custpm
still observed in Italy now Is confined
to the celebrations at the Epiphany
and at the carnival time.
FESTIVITIES OF THE DAY
In some countries, notably in Great
Britain and In some cities In Canada
and the United States. the new year is
welcomed in by festivities on the eve
of the day. In Scotland, for instance.
It is customary to celebrate New
Years eve with some festivity, which
Is prolonged until past midnight. At
the stroke Of IL every one present
wishes each other a Happy New
Year." The custom is also common
IN many parts of Germany, where the
salutation is "Prosit Neu Jehr."
Similar to this custom are the re.
llgious watch meetings" held In some
of the churches in this country on
New Years eve. In England on New
Years eve, in some houses, curious
custom, or superstition, is observed.

which are not taken seriously.

GEN. A. P. STEWART died yesterday
at Biloxi, Miss, whtro he went from
Chattanooga about three months sgo'
hoping that the climate would prove
beneficial. Gen. Stewart was in his
eiChty-seventh year and was one Of the
two last lieutsnart generals of the Con-
federste army. General Buckuer is now
the only ex-lieutenant general OF the
Confederate army now living. Like q
lone oak ia clearing, the later has
lived to see his conferes one by one pay
the debt of nature. While ex-Confede-
rate generals have long since become few
and far between, the rank and file is also
Jsiog depleted yearly. Their memories,
however, and the cause for which they
bstted will ever remain green in south
ern hearts.
