YEARS MERELY

Offer Opportunity for Each of
Us to Write Therein a
Record Better Than

~HE coming year lies spread
like the white plain that
sweeps from the roadside to
the distant forest where the
gray squirrels are making tracks in the
light snow. On this white sheet a lit
tie record may be written; not a full
life story, but merely a brief chapter
or. two, like the chapters of squirrel
life that may be read by one who to-
day ventures into the white forest.
1t is a great mystery that lies ahead,
a treasure house of endless possibili-
ties. The span of a mans life is
short; shorter in absolute measure
ment than the span of a year. For
each year, when October fades into
November, has wrought completeness.
No human life can bring completeness.
It cannot bring completeness of knowl-
edge or completeness of happiness or
completeness of good works. The best
man can do. in his poor, limited way,
Is to CLEAN as much wisdom and win
as much happiness and do as much
good as the number Of his days per-
mits. When the human October fades
1t may thus be rich and peaceful and
without the scars of stormy days or
the blight of wasted days and without
undue regret that what should have
been seen and known and done has not
been seen and known and done.
A YEARS completeness is but a
N twelvemonth. Our human incom-
pieteness covers many twelvemonths.
How fortunate that each dawning year
means a new opportunity to live and
learn. Again and again we may take
up the thread and advance toward the
goal Of apprehension. We may study
Gods works and year by year come
nearer to an appreciation Of them. We
can never fully appreciate them, for
our minds are finite, and they are in
, 1919-12-25

finite. But each succeeding year is q
new opportunity. 1t offers the perfec-
ton of completeness, and by eve a
partial comprehension of its fullness
we may move toward fulfillment of the
measure of Dur lives.
