PRESIDENT HAD HIS HOBBIES
John Quincy Adams a stjekler for
Regular Hours-Known as Stu
dent of Astronomy.

John Quincy Adams was stickler
for regular hours at the White House.
Promptly at ten o'clock every night
all lights had to be blown out. He
believed in going to bed early and
getting up early. During the summer
months he arose at four O'Clock, and,
accompanied by his son John. who
was his secretary, would hustle down
to the Potomac and indulge in good
swim for an hour or two, while Mrs.
Adams was overseeing the prepare
tion of a good breakfast for them.
When it became too cold for swim
ming he remained in bed until six
O'Clock, and would then take a brisk
walk up TO the capitol and back be-
fore breakfast.
Adams was great student of as
tronOmy, and had a telescope on the
roof of the White House so that he
could study the heavens at night. He
planted many trees in the White House
grounds and urged members of con-
gress TO collect seeds and send them
to their constituents.

chine. After they heard piece or
two. Mary started to look it over, and
said: ''It's not like ours"
Mrs. Case asked: "What kind of
machine have yOu?"
Mary engaged in deep thought. At
last she exclaimed: Its a Scotch
collie"
Mrs. Case said: "Why, never
heard tell of that kind of a talking
machine"
Billy spoke up. saying: "Mary is
always getting things wrong; it's a
fox terrier. If you don't think Pm
right, Mrs. Case, you go over and look

For most of US the memory of the
past is a chamber of discomfort. Let
therefore the old year bury from
sight its story of sin and sorrow and
failure. Let there be sincere repent
ance for the follies of the past. and
!. then let q new man step forth 10 meet
with hope and determination the glad
New Year which God desires shall be
a blessed year for every child of
earth. When God forgives, He for
gives utterly. He casts mans sins
Into the depths of the sea-" Why
then should memory thrust its hooked
pole into the sea to dredge the bot
tom and bring up by the locks some
pale memory which God has plunged
into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans
life Is not In the past, but In the
days to come, for our times are In
His hand.
And how many of us are waiting
for the opportunities of the coming
yearf With how many of us Is II the
unuttered hope that tomorrow may
be free from the sins and the mis-
takes Of yesterday? ! pray God thEt
for you II may be so. Your times are
in His hand, and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Him
rule 1t, and strive with the help of
the Spirit to walk the way of His
commandments. Forgetting the
things that are behind, let US press on
for the prize Of the high calling in
Christ Jesus" t..
. The passing year also must remind
US that there will come last year for
each one of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready to see the curtain rise upon
eternity? are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry, and to enter into
the marriage supper of the Kings
SOM Our times are In Gods hand,
and no man knoweth what day or
hour he may be called from his labor.
Though we live to be counted among
the oldest inhabitants we must depart
at last. Others have gone before US
and are going every day, and yet we
seem so eager to forget our own NOR
tally. Nay, let Us rather look for
ward with anticipation, believing that
God will then give us a New Year
which shall be without sin and tears
and sorrow and pain. where love shall
rule, and where happiness shall be
complete in the fullest service to our
God.
The New Year bells will soon be
ringing. Do not fail to make some
personal preparations for its coming.
Make resolutions for the future on
the basis of your experience of the
past. Every heart knows its own
needs. and its own weaknesses. Be
not discouraged by past failures, but
pray TO God earnestly to help to fu-
ture successes. Take this New Year
as holy gift from gracious Father
and begin TO live IL carefully and
prayerfully. Do not strive to carry
the burdens of future months. but live
each day as If II were the last and
the best. In spite of all the ills which
we see in the world today, let us be-
lieve that the New Year will be a
blessed year TO all mankind. and let
each one of us do our Httermost to
make II so. May God look upon us
all in mercy and may he let this

Ring out old shapes OF foul disease.
Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
