New Yeor, 1917

CndrleS Lamp was amply JuSClned
when he observed that: mo one
ever regarded the first of January
with Indifference" So long as time
matters at all to men, the start of
a new year will be an occasion of
significance. 1t is an appraisal point
for a twelve-month period closed.
Likewise, it is convenient oppor-
tunity for the making of plans, the
formulating of resolutions actually
to be kept.
A new beginning may seem diff
cult to many people. Yet the theory
Of changing deliberately and con-
sciously is common enough in ordi-
nary human experience to require
little, If any, argument. Thousands
have proved by the power of their
own thinking the efficacy of per-
sonal conservation. Most of the
great social achievements of the
past have been effected by the sin
cere, enthusiastic, whole -souled CO.
operation of ordinary human beings
who chose to labor together. One
reason why there is hope in the
world today is that during 1946' there
was a discernible decline in passion
and correlative growth in patience
among numerous groups. =
1t is no empty platitude that
people have been learning that they
need each other. A mutual appre-
citation has been developing among,
nations, between classes and raceSf
and religious organizations. Thei
fact that issues have been drama
tized is something to rejoice aboutx
Only those tensions which are hidden
from public view deserve to be
dreaded. The problems that multi
tudes are conscious of will be solved.
1t is part of the essential doctrine
of progressive civilization that plain
citizens are competent to manage
their own affairs.
But it is good to emphasize the
duty and the privilege of each
individual to contribute to the solu-
tions desired. At New Year espe-
cially the personal factor in the life
Of the inclusive world community
should be stressed The divine in
junction: ITO do justly, to love
mercy and to walk humbly with thy
God" was not spoken to the masses
so much as to men in their distinct
integrity. Each separate spirit must
be enlisted If, as the minister of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation
prayed on the eve of Christmas, we
are to be "neighbors who will live
as brothers"
During 1947 humanity will have
another chance to put that doctrine
into practice. It has paid a very
heavy price for the privilege of
further endeavor. Therefore, it
enters upon the New Year solemnly
The compulsion of a tremendous
challenge demands sober attention.
Not casually is the split atom to be
dealt with, not lightly are poverty
and crime and sorrow to be con-
sidered. The future wants reverence.
Saint Paul's beautiful message to the
Philippians is worth quoting: Work
out your own salvation with fear and
trembling For it is God which
worketh in you both to will and
to do"

new program Of social and labor
legislation.
This is something Of gamble,
and risky gamble at that. But
the Ohio Senator is not one to
tremble at the prospect of taking a
chance. He will fight for legis-
lative program that will be his own
program, and he will accept the
fact that it will make or break his
presidential prospects.

Letters to The Star
Pleads for Career Employee
Displaced by Veterans
no the Editor Of T.ne stAr:

To the Editor of The Star:
The time now is ripe to call the at
tention Of the new Congress to a de-
plorable condition in government today.
Few people seem to realize the influx
of veterans into the governmental serv-
ice. This is as it should be because
they have earned the right to the best
that the Government can give. How
ever, their rights and privileges should
not be conceded at the expense Of loyal
and experienced career employees" !"
Many Of us were rejected by the armed
forces for physical reasons and had
no choice in the matter Many of us lost
members of our families in the con-
fiict. Many of us fought just as hard
in our jobs to win the war as the men
at the front and many Of us now are
being displaced by veterans of little
experience. This is bitter pill to
swallow after having served the Gov
ernment faithfully for Is to Is years
The new Congress may not realize
that the Government worker is the eyes
and ears OF the voter back home but
every worker falling in this category can
affect the next election by reporting
this injustice.
The new Congress can adjust this
condition by legislation giving the
career employees equal rights with vet
Grams and unless this is done we have
but one recourse-the polls.

The Saviour as a Guide

a
To the Editor OF The Star:
II said to a man who stood at the
gate of the New Year, Give me light
that I may tread safely into the un-
known And he replied and said to me-
Put your hands into the hands of God
that shall be better than light and
safer than known way"
The above quotation was used in a
speech by King George vi during the
war AS we, launch out into the un-
charted sea of 1947, I can think of no
better advice for mankind than those
words. For in following this advice we
have the assurance of an unfailing
guidg with Him we can find love and
life+the abundant life. He will give us
the equilibrium that we need so much,
that keeps us from going to pieces, helps
us to take the bitter with the sweet, to
be more tolerant with our fellow man,
and to see the good in others; to dream
noble dreams and to put them into
action through love and service to
Others. Walking and working with Him
daily, we can build beautiful, wonder
full world of lasting peace. He ever
stands as beacon light ready and will
ing to guide us into the harbor of the
abundant life. DAVIS BURGESS, Jr.
