Another Year of Wonders

In the days when il was still fashionable Latin
phrases into writing to show the authors versatility, they
used TO call such the just passed Annus
Mrabis. the wonderful year" The poet Dryden popu-
arzed the phrase by his poem of that title the
1866, which such time for England crowded with
great events the great fire Of London the defeat of the
Dutch fleet and shower of others.
BY any such standard 1910 certainly such year.
Free nations fell like tenpns and vast world found
growing number of people locked in bloody combat from
Chungking to Athens

of the greatest gravity in the making We know that
two worlds at 1--WE have that less authority
than Hitler hmselD and know that during the
year. one. or the other may become triumphant.
In years past it has been our fate to read in the history
books of those tremendous periods when the world in
fux when the Asatic invasions of Europe finally
hurled back when the Roman Empire at last fell prey
TO the northern barbaans when the Moors driven
from Spain When Napoleon's name became charm
TO brighten the children of continent And always
wondered what must have been like to live in such drift
ing, dangerous days?
Well, know. We. too live in just such time
We know what life is when humanity has launched mighty
events, like who open dixie to the only to be
swept away on the tide of their making.
To child every new day is as if the world has begun
again. The child grows and begins to think in terms of
weeks Of months, then of But with his short
span, never grows old that year loses significance
To the oldest woman the dawn of year has
a certain fascination After ALL these pages Clean they
have not yet been neatly lined with constructive deeds
splotched with destruction Both the good and the evil
remain to be recorded.
Let the auspices be never so dark and menacng we
cannot be The evils clearly presaged may
happen at ALL there may be OF those white day
good and happy things which have failed to cast
shadow before them Such is the fascination of the
