The phrase begging the question"
or in Latin ''petitio principii." signifies
the treating Of proposition as fully
demonstrated fact when It L. actually
only a premise or statement brought
forward and not yet proved. In other
words, to beg the question is to as

The irrevocable year of 1912 is
now almost history.
It's defeats, hopes, aims, ideals,
sorrows, happiness are a part OF
the past.
We would recall much of this
past. Much of its ignominy and
failure. But no, it is part of
eternity and held in sleep which
God holds tight, with its sad days
and glad days which never shall
visit us again with their bloom
or their blight.
Since we cannot undo or atone
the failings of 1912 we are led to
exclaim Let them go, since we
cannot amend or cannot atone,
God in His mercy receive and for
give them.
But the greatest thought for
us at the threshold of another
year, is not the past failures; but
the future year. "a
The most important question is:
"Shall l write in 1913 the writing
of 1922"
Yesterday coerces today. To
day coerces tomorrow. Today is
yesterday lived over again. To-
morrow will be a repetition of to-
day.
What I wrote yesterday I shall
most probably write again today.
What 1 write today l shall most
probably re-write tomorrow. My
past failures will reassert them
selves in the present and compel
me to act contrary to my better
desires.
The irrevocable past Is solemn.
But the unwritte MIXTURE is more
solemn. The solemn thought is
this: Shall the failures, sins, pet
ty meannesses of 1912 coerce and
force me to repeat them In 1918.
Humanely speaking 1913 will
be 1912 lived over again. HUI
namely speaking l shall write in
1913 the writing wrote in 1912.
But l will not dwell upon

If milk is thin or old or sour,
Whatever fault they claim,
The milkman, every day and

Is sure to get the blame.
In many an area-way he grOpes

For many a sixth floor flat;
No easy path is his to trot,
