To the New Year

Oh child New Year, on whom the mantle falls
OF the departing year, who leaves to thee,
The labors. tasks, the duties and the calls
Which are the heirlooms of the past, to be
A precious trust the heritage of time,
How will thou face the future all alone?
How front the foes of sin. and vice, and crime,
Which muster round with force and might un
known?
Take courage, child of time. be not dismayed,
Equip myself with faith and hope and love,
And seek for strength and wisdom from above;
With these to nelp thee. never be afraid.
Go forth with ~gladness on thine untrod way.
And strength will come to thee from day to day

nings for Japan, with its idling and many pleas
ures, at last comes to a close. On the second day
of the year the duty of work is celebrated. In the
home the children strive TO show to their parents
the best they can do in penmanship or In memory
of things TO be learned. Girls try their first orna-
mental needlework or piece of music; merchants
open their shops with a show OF receiving their
first goods for the year. On the street many pro-
cessions of coolies are seen bearing beautifully Or
namented specimens of the trades of their masters.
Heavily loaded wagons, brilliantly decorated with
lanterns, flags and advertisements, drawn by oxen
covered with many colored cloths, pass from dis
trict TO district, accompanied by singing and dane
ing workmen.
Toward the evening Of the second day street
~peddlers, crying Treasure ships for sale!" go
about among the crowds. They sell rough draw
ings of the Seven Gods of Happiness" afoat in
a boat. Multitudes buy these caricatures of an
ancient sacred group, much as we might buy a
pictured Santa Claus. That night the treasure
ship" must lie under ones pillow. The dreams
that come then mean much for the rest of the
opening year.
On the third day of the New Year the fremen
Of the towns have their annual parade and give
public exhibitions of acrobatic skill in many places.
These exhibitions are no mean shows. Some Of
the performers display an agile ability in climbing,
balancing and leaping that is of an extraordinarily
high order.
Indeed. all the days of the first fortnight of the
new year are red letter days, until the fifteenth
day comes, when seemingly a most comical end
ing of the whole festal season takes place. The
people after that settle down to the commonplace
order Of regular daily labor. The Japanese people
at the present time do not take this closing event
more seriously to heart than we of this land now
regard the ride of Tam O'Shanter; but, theoreti-
cally, the inhabitants Of the internal regions dur
Ing the first fortnight Of the new year have as
merry a good time as the people of this world. On
the fifteenth day, however, the instruments of tor
ture in hell begin to work again. On this day II
is that the temples consecrated to Emma o, the
king of Hades, are crammed with devotees and
gather large sums Of offerings from fearful sin.
ners. II is a wonderful sight, a temple of Emma o
In mid-January, in one Of the great cities. A Ro-
man carnival could not be more ~josting, Jolly or
absurdly funny. japanese fun making is at it's
freest there, and all that is done seems to be for
given the worshipers, If their contributions to the
treasure boxes of his majesty, the regent OF the
inferno, are generous. With the festival of this
god the new year on earth and under the earth
has for the Japanese passed away as a feast, and
life's duties fairly begun again.
OF course the Japanese New Year is today fast
losing some Of its old time characteristic fascina-
tons, but enough Of its unique quaintness and
charm remain to give it distinctiveness among the
festivals of the nations, and to keep 1t an object
for foreign tourists to enjoy.

To the Neu Year
and the Old Friends

The neon wanes pale in the sky.
And the stars all blink for morn:
The old year is to die,
And the new year to be born.
We have passed through the vale of tears.
We have trod the journey long.
We have shared our hopes and fears.
We have shared our grief and song:
And we've shared them all with our old rrians.
Our true friends. our few friends.
And we'll drain anew to our old friends
The friends that are always true.
