of the union with its corresponding committees. Jaeoby serves in addi- ton to the two above named on the committee on the reform of the calen- dar. This American committee ex- poets to suggest to the international committee the following reformed calendar; The year is to begin with New Years day, a day with no other title. It Is not January 1 nor Is named as a day of the week. If the day before 1t Is Sunday December 3l the day following Is Monday Janu- ary 1. This is followed by four quar- ters of three months each, the first and second months to consist of 30 days and the third of 3l days. This accounts for the 365 days of an or dinapy year. In leap year another day is added, preferably at the end of the year, and this day. like New Years day. Is not day of week or month. This may be called leap day. The calendar In print would appear as shown.

The 1st, 18th and 30th, inn portant business days, always fall on week days; holidays fixed by date, such as July 4. always fall on the same day of the week. The calendar is the same for any year.

and acquaintance as few other min isters have ever done. His pleasant address. his human" qualities, the sound of his gentle voice. his always kindly tolerance of every foible which erring humanity is subject to, makes him that rare and beautiful character whom to know Is to love.
 Dr. Hendrix probably never has said In all his life "wounding word" to anyone. He is clothed in the armour of gentle kindness, and is never betrayed into wrathful speech or fierce emotion. He has ever ready the soft answer that turneth away wrath" He is one to whom the world Is a beautiful garden planted with flowers and few weeds, saints and few sinners, to each of whom he cGn be blessing and a benediction. and he never fails to do his duty in the sweetest and most comforting manner.
 And to his deep ecclesiastical learn ing. his great piety and his eloquence in the pulpit, he adds thorough knowledge of the affairs of the world, politics, social welfare, commercial problems and other interests, and his broad analytical mind energetically applied to the study of such great questions enables him to reach such practical and intelligent conclusions that when he speaks his words are of vast import.
 When I asked Dr. Hendrix to point out some of the ''objeetives" for the New Year, in other words, "Beginning the New Year" and what especially he would emphasize, he said:
 The best thing about the New Year is that 1t brings to us individually and collectively the opportunity to begin again If We failed last year in our endeavors we take up new tasks. chastened. and enlightened for new endeavors. If success honored our plans and labors last year, new and larger tasks confront us, chal- lenging us to embark on larger en- terprises. Humanity at it's best Is always In pursuit of a flying goal, and life becomes to us a series of beginnings again. Probably the san est conception of the life beyond is that it offers us chance to begin again to traverse that margin which lies between mans nothing perfect 1 and Gods all complete
 Happily for us our Highlands Methodist congregation begins this year with a substantial asset from last years efforts. A spirit of unity and confidence between the pastor and the congregation grew through the year into morale that will prove one of our best assets in the larger endeavors upon which we are enter Ing. This unity of purpose is evil deneed in the fact that at the heads of each organization in our church ] the same leaders that led US so well

last year are continued in office. We enter upon our work with good and capable leaders, supported by the loyal cooperation of the membership of the church,
 Notwithstanding the financial de- pression that prevailed throughout the year. we raised more money for ourselves and for others than has ever been contributed by the church In one year. We have completed the tower of our building and obtained the chime of bells offered us laA January and thus our property Is largely enhanced. Every day these bells will be ringing out their mes sages to our people. filling our hearts with that cheer and good will through which we are empowered to achieve the practical tasks of the new year.
 "So many good things are always at our doors waiting to be done. 1t becomes necessary for us to deter mine the most urgent and set our selves 10 doing this one thing until it is accomplished. Speaking person ally for a moment-that is, In regard to Highlands Methodist church. there can be no difference of opinion among our people as to what this ob- jective should be. For several years we have all seen the glarinE diff culties confronting the congregation for the lack of adequate Sunday school room. In loyal deference to the appeal of the last general con ference to our people to keep them selves open to tho centenary and educational campaigns. we deferred this much-needed plant until these claims had been presented to our peo- pie Our members have obligated themselves for more than $100.

cessor. Augustus, named the eighth month in honor of himself. and in order that 1t should not have fewer days than the month of Julius in- creased Its length from 30 days to 31 days, taking day from February for the purpose. Then, in order to avoid three consecutive months of 31 days, September was shortened to 30 days and the remaining months alter hating from that point as they now do. In this way the comparatively simple calendar of Sosigenes was up- set and eomplexity introduced into the calendar which has remained there these 2.000 years. forcing mil lions to learn that thirty days hath September" There has been much agitation for relief from this un- scientific calendar.
 Those seeking change naturally look to astronomers for leadership and advice. If the change is to be made it must be by agreement be- tween nearly all of the nations. The matter stands thus: In July, 1919. the representatives of astronomy In the allied and associated nations met in Brussels to create the International Astronomical union. Belgium, France. Great Britain. Italy and the United States were represented. Calendar reform was not the princi- pal purpose of the union, but 1t is the Subject we are now discussing Thirty-two committees were con stituted for various duties, tho last one of which was the committee on the reform of the calendar. Cardi- nal Mercier was made honorary chair man; Bigourdan, Frenchman. chair man. Campbell and Crawford are the Americans on the committee.
 In addition to the international union there is m American section

of mercury can be revolyed with a steadiness which will give the sur face anywhere nearly the accuracy of form necessary for astronomical observation. The experiment was tried many years ago by Professor Wood of Johns Hopkins university.
 He was the first, I think, to try 1t. As was expected by many, he failed to have success. There is no likeli- hood that such an experiment would be any more successful now. 1 do not expect to see 1t tried.
 Jupiter will be morning star un- til April 4, then an evening star un- til October 23, then morning star until the end of the year. Saturn Is morning star until March 25, an eve ming star until october and then morning star until the end of the year.

Neptune Is a morning star until February A. an evening star until August g, then a morning star until the end of the year. Tho planets will be quite in teresting during the summer months.
 The Calendar
 The Roman Emperor Julius Caesar found the calendar of his time so H. logical and confused that he deter mined to make a new one. He sought the advice of an Egyptian astrono- mer, Sosigenes. They established the calendar which, after few modified tions. Is in use today. One modlfica- .tion concerns us here. Sosigenes ar ranged the months alternating 3l days and 30 days. except that Feb ruary had but 2s instead of s0-days in ordinary years. The seventh month of 31 days was named July, in honor of Julius Caesar. Ills sue
