There is something attractive about
a new path. an untrodden way New
possibilities of beauty, new sights aud

never travelled before. The lure of the

ordained that "No man should know

The untrodden path Of the New

plans for progress, for forward steps
In your life during the coming monthsy
Rich blessings await us along this
unknown way-are you going to be
prepared to receive them? Dangers
also await US, new temptatlons-ar
you going TO be prepared to resist

you'll come to Jordan; and Jordan
means obstable, difficulty, opposition.
Have you a Guide to lead you over
these Jordans? 10 is not promised
that we shall have as spectacular de-
liverances as the Israelites had; but Il
Is promised that IL you follow in faith
without fear or hinching you shall get

And what about that Guide to lead

us greatly when we set out on un-

US, and especially one who knows the
/ way which is so new 10 us. And If
we know that there are dangers and
difficulties on the road ahead, It is
supreme folly TO attempt It without
competent guidance. We can have
such guidance in the new year which
we are entering the guidance Of Jesus
Christ. No path in the days to come
is known to US. 1t is ours TO choose
whether we shall have Christ's COM

For His promise is, when thou pass
