Once more the holidays are over,
with their delightful mystery, and
their atmosphere of pleasurable ex-
element caused by a departure from
the general routine for purposes of
pleasure. With their passing comes
again the discovery that we are Co.
ing on in the new year much as we
did in the last. The same round of
work stretches out before us; there
is the same round of social duties
and the same circle of good, old
friends, just one year dearer than
they were in 1910; and thankful
indeed are we if there is the same
precious family group bound to-
gether with the same strong letters
of love and loyalty. We are in the
habit of looking forward to next
year" as time when things will not
be as now, when, in some vague
way which we do not understand
and cannot explain, there will be a
great and sudden change always, of
course, for the better. The opening
of the new year brings US just the
slightest trace of disappointment
when we begin to realize that the
days are just like other days and
there is to be, after all, no recon
struction. It takes time for the
truth to be born in upon US that we
make our own world, and that if
there is to be a reconstruction it
must be within ourselves and caused
by our own effort, and that it will be
gradual. If we can look back upon
the past year and feel that we have
been more useful to those about US
than we were the year before, that
there is some group of persons, or
even just one person. whose world is
happier because we are in it, and
then if we can look ahead to the new
year and see where we can be more
useful than we were last, and make
some one happier than ever because
we are broader and living a fuller
life, we are bound to look forward
to happy new year. What we
have been makes US what we are, "
but what we are makes US what we
are going to be. The gift is within
ourselves, and it rests with ourselves
alone whether we realize a happy
new year of progress toward what
ever goal we have set ourselves, or
whether we are unhappy and dis
contented and lose, by lack of effort,
what happy circumstances have
given US.
