A New Year’s Sermon.
by frank s. hi lxson.
The following sermon was delw- I
ired in the Jefferson Methodist
Cca, on Sunday morning. Jan. 1.
and published by request.
1 he went from year to year in
circuit.”
1 Sam. 7:16.
The word ’’circuit” conveys the j
leaning of a going round; this is
indred to a circle, and the thought
f a circle links us on to the idea of
ring which represents complete
es, and is a symbol of eternity.
God lias not only allowed another
„elve months to roll around and
Bher vs into anew year, but he has
irown open the universe, which with
thousand voices, is ever tel Ling
an of completed circles, of ended
me and of an approaching eternity.
All of the revolving worlds in their
rcuits above us, and around us seem
, tell us that our years are being
umbered and that the rolling num- f
ers are bringing us to eternity. ,
The word “circuit” 'is mentioned
>ur times in the Bible, as in, the
criptures we are told that four
lings move in circuits.
The first is the wind; “The wind
oeth toward the south and turneth
bout unto the north; It whirleth
bout continually, and the wind re
irneth again according to his cir
uits.” (Eecl. 1: 6.)
The chariot wheels upon which.
ie wind rides never wear out, and
is snorting steeds never tire; but
an grows weak and weary with tra
el and hi® head turns hoary with
;e, till his weary limbs and hoary
ead, must (both together, rest in
ie grave.
There is no more nor no less wind
i the world to-day, than there was
hen the morning stars first sang to
other, and the first day dawned up
i the world. The same wind has
>en continually running his “cir
tits,” but you and I have been
pre but for a short while, neither
in we long remain. The wind
ill continue along in his whirling
•urtieys, but we may be making our
■st one. The same wind that play
-1 over our cheeks in childhood, will
ng sad requiems over our graves.
Tlhe second thing traveling in a
circuit” is the sun. The Psalmist
tys, “tHis going forth ie from the
nd of the heaven, and his circuit
ito the ends of it.” (Psalm 19: 6.)
The sun that shed its Light on the
lores of time and flashed out in
izzling splendor after God said,
-ret there be light.” and sped on in
s fierj ship, hill he cast anchor in
ie billows of heaven,, and floated
>r a day over Gibeon, till Joshua
>uld achieve a victory and in hie
ipid course, closed his vision and
hied 'his .face, as he passed by the
:ene of the crucifixion,, is the same
in that continues in the “circuit”
the heavens today.
The fiery engine by which his
lip is drawn, generates its own
iat. an I thus he will continue on in
s "circuit” through ages to come,
ut man’s course, how soon it is
in! We are like the grass at our
et > which in the morning
loursheth and groweth up,
the evening it is cut
>vvn and withereth.” ‘‘We spend
lr years as a tale that is told.”
aid "tteaeh us to number our days
at we may apply our. hearts unto
isdom.”
tlie sun that shone on the head
lonah and caused him to faint by
e city of Nineveh, and made warm
Ki weary our departed mothers as
*'•' us in childhood by the
1 'I. will cast long shadows over
r graves and cause flowers to
eoin where we are buried.
The third that travels in a “ctr
ie God. “(And he walketh in
f - c rcuit of heaven.” (Job 22:14.)
1 that rested on the seventh day
s liever been weary since. Alr
n , -h It is he that sltteth upon
p '"-rcle of the earth” yet, “Hast
01 not known? hast thou not heard
* uhe everlasting God, the Lord,
e < rearer of the ends of the earth,
not, neither is weary?"
( >od “sitteth upon the circle of
6 eanh ” or “iwa’lketh in, the cir
heaven,” we know that the
is in his holy temple, the
' tn rone is in heaven, his eyes
o,d, his eyelids try the children of
Me is “Alpha and Omega, the
Binning and 6ad> t jj 6 first
•he last. He, and he only, will
nue hie “circuit” forever; for
thousand y e a rs in his sight are
as >esterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.”
‘'Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame;
From everlasting he is God,
To endless years thia same.”
Not so with us, for he turns man
to destruction and sayebh, “Return,
ye children of men.”
The fourth and last that moves in
a “circuit” is man. “And he went
from year to year in circuit.” (1. Sam
7:16)
The Psalmist says, “Man is like
to vanity, his days are as a shadow
that passeth away.”
J'Hojw swiftly the yeasr of our pil
grimage fly,
As weeks, months and seasons roll
silently by;
Our days are soon numbered, and
death sounds our knell;
We scarce know our friends till
we bid them farewell”
As we stand upon the banks of the
New Year, we can look back over the
old one and see mis-spent hours,
wasted time, wicked acts, unkind
words, all floating down i'fe’s rapid
stream to the ocean of eternity,
where they will wait to condemn us
at the last “great day.”
"Our lives are rivers gilding free,
To that unfathomed, boundless sea,
The .silent grave!
Thither, all earthly pomp and boast
Roll, to be swallowed up and lost
In one dark wave!
These truths should cause us now
to humble our hearts in l repentance
1 and stir our sou’s to better deeds
and warmer love for the God of time
and eternity.
( Like the beautiful custom in Ger
many, let us on this new year forgive
every enemy, and as the high priest
: once a year went behind the veil
! with the blood of atonement and
came into the presence of God; so
let us on the first day of tbe new
year make a visit to the fountain for
sin and uncleannesss, and with the
blood of atonement fresh upon our
hearts, let us come into toe presence
of our Heavenly Father, and walk
I with him from day to day.
j ‘'We are standing on the threshold,
we are in the open door,
; We are treading on tJhe 'border, land
we have never trod before;
Another year is opening, another yefd
is gone.
We have passed the darkness of the
night, we are in the early morn.
“Then hasten to fresh labor, to watc
and pray and sow,
Then bid the new year welcome, and
let the old year go.
Then gather, all your vigor, press
forward in the fight, i
And let this be your motto, “For
God and for the right.”

ONE BALE COTTON AND
SEED BROUGHT $106.80.
A whopping big bale of cotton and
t!he seed from same were brought
to the cilty one day recently by Mr. j
L. L. Williamson, a prosperous fa ram: j
who lives in Banks county on route]
29. The proceeds resulting from the
two products amounted to $5106.80, a
remarable sum for a single bale and
the seed it produced.
Mr. Williamson says he raises a J
variety of food products, and vouches
for fthe statement that a farmer who j
meets with no misfortunes, can be- j
come independent by diversifying his ]
crops and raising cotton as a sur- !
plus.—Commerce Observer.

TRAIN NO. 13.
Just before Christmas, ai IU a,
we were waiting for a train \ v
tent medicine vender was stam . g
near, and remarked, “I wouiu >t
ride on that train for one thou < J
dollars.” On being asked why e
made such a declaration, said,
up there at the bulletin, and see what
the number, of the train is, and that
will explain just why I said what. I
did.
We looked at the bulletin, und .saw
■that the train was number 13. We
told him we were not afraid of it,
but he shook his head and said,
‘|Never will I ride on any train that
is numbered 13.”
About that time the train came
thundering up, and we bearded it. As
it was leaving the station, a man
who occupied the seat just to our
rear began to groan. The man on
same scat laughed at the pecu
liar groan of his companion. The
man then groaned again, and said,
“Dent let me die.” Passengers on
the car ran to him and began to rub
his face and hands, but in less
than three minutes after we boarded
the tran the man was dead. The
dead man was a lawyer of Atlanta,
named T. A. Willingham, and the
companion said before reaching He
lena he seemed In good health and
quite jo ly.
When the train had gone about
twenty miles further, another man
became demented, and became so
violent thait when the train reached
the next station, a policeman was
sent for, and the unfortunate man
taken off and carried to prison.
Our train went about twenty milee
further, when there was a wreck in
front of us.
In Macon, we were delayed about
three hours, and in At'anta about
seven hours; and the first thing
that we heard on arriving at home
was that our cook, who had, been
with us for the past thirteen years,
was dead. We do not care to ride
on 13 again soon.
