There is a difference between being

you may suddenly realize that you are
travelling northwest instead Of north,
which you had supposed and desired to
be your course; and that discovery
may cause not little confusion in your
mind. AS long as that confusion lasts.

A WISH

When the world to thee is new,
When it's dazzling dreams deceive thee,
Ere they pass like morning dew
Faith retrieve thee!
When the glo:y fades away
When Of light the clouds bereave thee,
When the shadows mar the day
Hope relieve theel
When despair's destroying breath
Comes at eventide to grieve thee
With the bitterness of death
Love reprieve theei
When the bells at Curfew toll,
When the lingering sunbeams leave
thee,
When the night o'erwhelms thy soul
God receive thee!

Ga1hSNS Years day the soldiers of
his army should take a
vow to refrain from indulgence in
strong drink for whole year.
The practice of beginning the new
year with good resolutions. however,
is very. very old. The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common to many peoples.
Time was when the New Years
resolution was a solemn affair, marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example, the Japanese, 800 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmities were ended
under penalty of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished !;
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away in exchange for new in the
belief that the assumption of new
conscience was complete only with the
assumption of new covering for the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time of SOL
emn remuneration of all follies and an
amendment for the future. In the days
of the Pharaohs the Egyptians sym
holized their publication with elabor-
ate baths and fasting; the Persians
and Phoenicians greeted the New Year
with PRAYER to the heather images and
with Negotiations.
With the passing of the centuries old
Now Years vows have lost their for
NAL character. Turning over a new
Leaf is now matter of individual
and not national concern. Swearing
off, is even favorite jest with the
humorist and cartoonist.
Nevertheless, the modern man is
more sensitive 70 the appeal of the
New Year than he shows in public.
What makes the New Year is the new
ness of life that human nature brings
into il. 1t is a New Year to everybody
according as everybody tries to live
over again, and pushes forward and
Turns plan to action and discourage
ment to hope. People rely too mucn
on resolutions to make a yeag new.
