The Old Year and
the New
A Sermon for New Years Eve
by
REV. STEPHEN PAULSON

My Times are in Thy hand.-Psalm BIS.
NAD and solemn are the last hours
-, of the dying year. Only a few
months ago a New Year was
given unto us, fresh and pure from
Gods great ~storehouse of time. 1t
has spent its life upon the earth, and
its footprints will never be effaced.
The departing year has brought to us
Gods numberless blessings it has
seen many noble deeds done, and it
has seen progress in many depart
ments of life.
The passing of another year must
emphasize to every thoughtful person
the swift fight of time. Looking
backward over the past years of our
life they seem to shrink to the size
of beads strung around a child's neck.
Seeking an image of mans career, the
prophet sees his days swifter than a
weaver's shuttle; his years swifter
than an arrow, curving as it rises TO
its fall. What is mans life? he asks.
1t is a cloud d~issolving in the sun
shine. 1t is a summer brook swollen

Our
Superstitious
Vein
Encnclme Wreath Of Fancy
Bedecks New Years Day

w YER since the dawn of time the
happenings of New Years day
- have been said TO foretell the
luck of the coming months. For there
is a vein of superstition in the human
race. and all of us share in its delu-
sions. There is no day in the year
without its encircling wreath of fancy :;
this first day of them all is wondr0us-
~ bedecked. Not even Christmas is
and it stands first in the folklore of
every language. On New Years day
il ancient Egypt. when as vet the
pyramids We're unbuilt, there were
grand professions and smoking sac
%ritices. In Sparta it was celebrated
by the conservation of youths to mill
tary service.
Among the Saxons and old Germans
were great rejoicings. feastings and
csrousings on this day. and the was
sail bowl passed merrily around. This
was a great vessel filled with ale,
sugar. fruits. nutmeg and spices. There
was enough for the whole community
and the great bowl ran freely all day.
In all countries there have been
charms and devotions peculiar to the
opening year, for a desire to peer into
the future is really common to US all.
no matter how we affect to deride the
idea. The Bible charm was one famil-
lar TO our gr%andfathers, and was used
by religious people even down TO the
present generation. 1t is solemn end
interesting, and well worth recording.
"When the clock strikes - on New
Years eve, pick up your Bible and
open it at random, and walking back
ward TO a table. lay the book down,
face open. upon it. Turn around three
times, take up the book, read the verse
upon which your thumb falls. 1t will
tell your fate for the coming year.
For instance, if it should be: "And
He will love thee and bless thee and
multiply thee or "If I take the
wings of the morning and dwell in the
uttermost parts of the earth" we *
pect a very pleasant year. But conceive
the horror of one who should open
to these words: so he died, and was
gathered to his fathers or I'm hell
he lifted up his eyes, being in tor
ment."
In Switzerland the maiden borrows
her mothers wedding ring, ties it with
a hair from her own head, then sus-
ponds it just over the rim of a tea
cup, all the While counting rapidly the
years of her own age. OF course the
hair-hung ring trembles and knocks
against the cup, and each little tap
counts one year before she will wed
so she must count very fast, or he
shocked at the number of taps. In
Norway the kind of fish caught on
the day foretells "fisherman's luck"
for the coming year. In rural New
England almost every locality has
some special charm of fortune-telling
of its own for this day of fate. The
Chinese have used cards for thou
sands of years, and the queerest thing
in the world is a Chinese New Years
card. 1t gives all the complimentary
titles of the owner, and is almost as

by sudden rains. but 500 running out
and leaving the stones bare again.
1t is a tale that is soon told.
These last days of the old gear urge
us to husband well the time that is
still given us. To a shrub a year
means only a leaf to the vine, a clus-
ter; TO the tree, a new ring Of wood.
But TO a man a year means a large
portion of his life which has been
used or wasted. Youth often unthink-
ingly throws all responsibilities on the
years to come. To him everything
seems possible in the future. Then he
thinks to have time for education.
thrift, let the present be ~prodigal as
it may. The morrow will suffice for
the forming of habits and the building
of character. So dazzled by the fu-
ture the youth allows the years to
slip through his hands, and the result
and a moral feebling. AS you pause
now and think over the past, you
must realize that the morrow holds
no harvests which the laborers called
yesterdays did not sow and cultivate.
There was an ancient custom of put
ting an ~hourglass into the coffin of !
the dead to signify that their time
had run out-a useless notification to
them. Better put the hourglass into
the hand of every living man to show
him how swiftly the sands of life do
flow. But, after all, time is of value
only as we make the best use of it.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts,
not breatbs;

large as a wall map. In olden times
it was the custom for tenants to give
New Years gifts to their landlords
and every loyal subject owed a gift
to his sovereign. We read how good
Queen Elizabeth was such a favorite
that her gifts were maryels of taste
and extravaganza. In our country we
give presents on Christmas day. but
in France they are reserved for the
first of the year.

Reaching a Prospect

Very good. But how about the customers who do
not happen to come into your place? Why not tell
them about these special attractions through the me
dunn of THE HERALD? The prospective customer
may not come into your store once in 3 months but
the Herald goes to the customers home every week.

Now, Mr.. Merchant, You Know

that there is a certain amount Of buying at all sea-
sons and you know that in the dull season. you are
more anxious than ever for your share Of the bust
ness, because you need it to pay expenses. When a
customer comes into your store these days you sell
him what he asks for and then, if you are a good
salesman, you call attention to certain articles of
merchandise which you think your customer may
need, and which, through quality or price you think
may prove more attractive than what your competi-
tor has to offer.
