Toast To
The New Year

By United Press Leased Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. S1.-The fol-
lowing toast to the coming year,
filled with optimism and the
prophecy of greater things was
written for the United Press by
the Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, the
famous Brooklyn Divine;
" The year that Is passing will
rank as one of the great years Of
history. Other years gave man a
mastery Of fire, steam and cleo
tricity; this year leaves man the
aeToplane and his mastery OF the
air.
Il has been great year for
medicine and surgery and has
brought the cures OF two OF the
most malignant diseases of all
time
Il has been a wonderful year for
peace for the war against war has
never won so many victories. Ii
braries, colleges and hospitals will
remember the year for the mil
lions upon millions OF bounty
II has been great year for lib
erty, overthrowing monarchy In
Portugal, bringing democracy TO
Turkey and Persia and the begin
ming OF constitutional government
to China. To England II has
brought the passing Of the heredi-
tary House OF Lords, with plans
for an elective chamber.
The old year gave us a wonder
full advance OF intellect, the eman-
ment that is making the common
people as powerful as kings and
the laity to be as influential as
priests. Never have the reasons
for optimism been so numerous or
so weighty.
But the achievements OF yester-
*.day are only prophecies Of good
things to come For all patriots
and Christians It is better far
ther on" The great word of the
old century was democracy; the
word of the new year should be
= cooperation and service. The mot
to, "All for each and each for all,
. would bring in the Golden Age"
The old year with its social
: wrongs, its abuses and It's sins is
going; let il 60. The new year with
its opportunity TO push back the
rim Of night and to flood the world
with light and progress is coming.
Yesterday for memory. to-day
o for work. tomorrow for hope and
aspiration.
