| half so significant as the growth in our own country of the community consciousness. It Is the word of Holy Writ that God made us to dwell to- gether, and this Is evidenced in the deep instincts which are now finding expression in the several community organizations that have sprung up In our midst. It is the peculiar province of the church to interpret to mon these elemental emotions which well up from time to time in human so- ciety radically effeeyns individuals and society. We shah try to value this thing and profit ourselves and others by a large interest and aotivi- ty in community affairs.

 --Tennyson's Tn Memoriam-" 
 With the beginning of the New Year today-1s22-even the most casual and happy go lucky of uS pause for . moment to summarize our blessings of the past 12 months and anticipate the fortunes Of the coming year.
 Despite the funny paper, ''car- toons" and the joke columns" of the newspapers, we may even go so far as to make little resolution or two for the little pink New Year of 1922. and some of us really "stick to ! them' If you only knew it, and as we reflect back on the ones we made last year, we have at least ono or two of them left. mileposts on the road of 1921.
 In looking over the way we have come since last January we should reel upon pretty good terms with fortune. and backed by the happiness and achievements of the year now closing. we should be able to face the future with confidence. But In case we are not satisfied with the record of the past year. whose fault is 1t but our own? And as we have been re- sponsible for the complexion of af- fairs in the past it Is also in our power to make of the new year what we will. Just as through personal default we may have fallen short in accomplishing what we had

wished, so we may by personal effort succeed in the future.
 Despite regret at past failures an exhilarating sense of freedom and power comes with realization of per sonal responsibility in the shaping of the future. Worth any amount of sweet passive hopes Is the feel ing that no combination of circum- stances can be powerful enough to paralyze will power and trust in en- deavor.
 In the matter of New Years reso- lutions let us put aside the idea of their puerility as suggested in the cartoons and joke columns, and Il formances and achievements it seems advisable to turn over a new leaf, why let us do so with no jocular apologetic anhouncements to label our determinations as unstable im- pulses. It's never well to make much fuss about resolutions for they do not prosper well in the limeIlsu..
 
 The same principle holds good with all manner of resolutions. Suppose, for instance, we make up our mind that we are too much given to gos- siping or sarcastic remarks of profli- gate waste of money, extravaganza. worldliness or any shorteoming, and resolve to break off this habit Jan uary 1. Now, if we really wish to about our virtuous pledge. Neither will we be too sternly resolved never again to repeat just one little bit of a story about some one, or to make a two-edged remark. We will in stead simply take our resolution and our power to keep 1t fer granted. And as result, of this course we will meet with more ultimate success than we would, did we hold too strict rein upon ourselves.
 Each of us wants advice=a word from those in whom we have confi- dence and who hold our love, when ever any great event happens In our lives-and the first day of this glad New Year I can think of no one whose words would be more cherished and more valued than those of pr. w. R. Hendrix, the beloved pastor of High lands Methodist church.
 Those of us who sit beneath his gentle presence each Sunday and hear his kindly admonitions, and love him for his deep piety and religious life. know his sincerity and his beautiful Christian character, and to those who do not have this great privilege his words today on Beginning the New Year" will fall like "the gentle zephyrs at eventide"-so tender. so sweet and so true.
 Since pr. Hendrix's residence in Birmingham, just little over a year ago, he has endeared himself to friend

 You are impudent" interrupted his father. ''If I had tried to make such joke at my fathers expense when l was your age he would have taken me out in the woodshed."
