When another January arrives il 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
a 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 a resiliency of elastic joy. 1t is
not necessary to wait until the first
of January in any approaching year
to win the wisdom of such a heavenly
faith or to experience the benefits OF
such a spiritual quickening. The
promise of God is now, to every one
that belieyeth. Each morning may be
a 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.

any doubter optimistic, and gives to

between the old and the new. Into It's

New Years day is generally observed
as a holiday and as an occasion for
paying ceremonial social calls, in
France, even now, New Years pres
ents have not entirely disappeared.
New Years day is not observed on
January l in every country, although
most nations nowadays use the Gre
gorian calendar, and consequently be-
gin their new year on that day. In
Russia The Julian calendar is still in
use, and as a quarter of a day in each
year is lost by that system, there is
o an accumulated loss of 10 days.

TO January IA of our calendar. The

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 10 celebrate New
Years eve with some festiyity, which
is prolonged until past midnight. At
the stroke of u every II 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-
ligious watch meetings held in some
of the churches in this country on
New Years we. In England on New
Years eve, in some houses. a curious
custom, or superstition. is observed.

AS TO THE

The Jewish year is solar-lunar, and
may consist of as few as 1853 days and
as many as 3S5. New Years day usu-
ally falls in September. The Moham-
medan years usually consist of 354
days, being purely lunar, and the leap
years, which occur in certain twelve
months of a cycle of 80 lunar years,
contain 355 days. The first day of
Muharrem-New Years day-may in
course of time make a whole revolu-
tion of the seasons An instance of this
may be given. The first of Muharrem,
1906, fell on February rs, while the
Mohammedan New Year last year be-
gan on March Z. Inasmuch as it is
purely lunar, the Mohammedan year
is almost unique in the calendars of
the world. While the Chinese year con-
forms to the eastern idea, being found
ed upon lunar months, a month is add
ed to every so, TO make time conform
with the solar year. Consequently,
the Chinese New Year may begin any
time between January 81 and Febru-
airy %.

REVOLVING NEW A

The ancient Egyptians had a year
more or less conforming to the Julian
style, inasmuch as it contained 365
days. In course of centuries this made
New Years make a complete revolu-
ton of the seasons. This fact, only
recently properly appreciated by Prof.
Petrie, the Psychologist, led to many
misconceptions and retarded the solu-
tion of mysterious feasts and rites
which now are perfectly we'll under
stood by archaeologists.
Anciently, in Rome, the new year
began in March, in the neighborhood
of the yernal equinox, which would
seem to be a reasonable, if not logical
time to begin the annual cycle. March
% was, until the latter part of the
sixteenth century, the day when the
new ear began in most Christian
countries. Numa is said to have made
the Roman year begin on January /,
the day held by pagan Rome sacred
in honor of Janus, who was thus sup
posed to turn at once back upon the
old year and forward into the new. and
subsequently New Years day was. at
various times and in different Chris
tian countries, celebrated on the pres
ent Christmas, March l, March % (the
Feast of the Annunciation), and East
er day.

CUSTOM OF GIFTS.

Almost everywhere the custom of
making presents on the first day of
the new year has been observed. When
1t originated, or where, it would be
extremely difficult, if not actually i'm
possible, to say. 1t is sufficient to
know that the observance has the
sanction of remote antiquity. In the
eighth century b. c. Tatius, king of
the Sabines, according to traditions,
began the custom among the Romans.
At first the gifts were merely emblem

attic and of little price, being branches
cut from the wood consecrated to
Strenia. the goddess Of strength.
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.
1t was in Rome, too, that the habit
of masquerading at New Years APP
pears TO have originated. The custom
still observed in Italy now is confined
to the celebrations at the Epiphany
and at the carnival time.
