NEW YEAR’S SERMON.
It is a good thing to stand upon
the threshold of a New Year and
look with hope and confidence to
wards the coming months.
It is a good thing,at this season,
to look back over the twelve
months that are gone, and haye a
general accounting with our
selves.
Even though we should look
over the wreck and ruin of
good resolutions, with only here
and there a few good deeds stand
ing like sentinels along the way,
yet it is good to make the survey
and have a general summing up
with our hearts and consciences at
this season of the year.
Every good resolve helps a man,
whether it be kept or not. There
fore, let us continue to make good
resolutions, and perhaps we will
keep a few more of them each
year, and it will, at least, save ux
from becoming altogether hard
ened.
The greatest thing in this world
is that principle of Hope that re
fuses to be dismayed by failure
and looks ever towards a bris h *""
day. According to the—
tholOgy, when Pandora’s box of
evils were turned loose upon the
human race, Hope alone remained
to counteract them all. And right
nobly does it do it.
And so, at this starting-over
season, when we all begin a new
leaf in life’s volume, as it were—
we feel sure, each of us, that
things are going to be better and
brighter than they have been in
the past. And we can all help to
make it so, if we will. Not only
can we make it so for ourselves,
but, what is more important still,
we can make it so for others—those
with whom we come in daily con
tact through the weeks and months
of the year.
This is the lesson that we ought
to learn, most of all—to make
things look bright for those around
us. And when we do this, we will
find that we have discovered the
secret of happiness, that turns
everything, like the philosopher’s
stone, into gold. A bright smile
and a cheerful word thrown to a
brother as we pass, may send a
gleam of brightness into a soul
that is dark and gloomy, and help
to lift it into light. These little
things count much in the daily
make-up of life. They are the
flowers scattered along the path
way, that taken all in all,' make
life worth the living.
And let this, then, be our New
Year’s resolve—that we will try
and make others bright and happy
as we pass along through the weeks
and months of the year. If we
keep this one good resolution, it
will be well for us at the end of
the year, when the leaf is ready to
be turned; and it will be well for
us, perhaps, when the volume it
self is closed, and the final sum
ming up is at haud.
Here’s a foreword to our Farm
ers : Don’t lay your plans for too
much cotton this year.
CHINA AND JAPAN.
There is no doubt that Japan’s
victory over Russia, in the late
strife between those nations, Ins
whetted her appetite for war, and
she acts now, at all times, very
much like somebody who is
ing for a tight. After the
in which they fought in t^^^B

it—prematurely, at least.
Those Japanese are great fight
ers—there’s no doubt about that.
They constitute a power that must
be taken into consideration every
time we look at the map of the
world. And by their side is a
countless horde of human beings—
the mightiest nation in numbers in
all the earth, a nation that for
centuries has been asleep, as far
as the outside world was concerned
—and now they are being aroused,
and are beginning to prepare them
selves for combat w'ith the Cau
casian race. Naturally allied to
Japan by homogeneity of race, and
closeness of territory, China, at the
instance of her neighbor, perhaps,
is building a great navy, and rais
ing a mighty army, it is said, of a
million men, who may be just as
good fighters as the Japanese, or
the Europeans.
When Napoleon was once urged
by some of his officers to conquer
certain provinces of China and hold
them as the British held India,
replied, “We might conquer n few
of their provinces, but we should
teach them the art of war, and
haps the time might come when
with great armies and navies
might conquer France.”

Who she was, or or
cannot tell. How and when she
came into my life, is alike a mys
tery. I only know that she is
there — that she is a part of my
soul tonight—my dream of beauty
and my ideal of loveliness.
This 1 know—that it is only
when the wind is sighing at night
in the tops of the pines, that I feel
her presence. And this is the
deeper mystery to me—for she
seems to be a part of that sad and
solemn music. I only know that
she fills my soul, that her name is
now and has always been familiar
—though I do not remember to
have seen or heard it. It came first
on a dark and stormy night like
this, and carried me back in mem
ory—yes, a thousand years, And
in’overy thought, and every vision, walk
we have always been as one,
ing hand in hand, and soul to soul.
Tokita! The name and it’s fair
embodiment came like the fabric
of a dream that night—only it was
not a dream, and I was not asleep.
And ever as I think of her, and
ever as she comes, it is always in
that sweet and mournful music of
the trees, as if she was their very
spirit and the incarnation of their
life.
She is my ideal of all that
is fair and beautiful—she fills
my soul with rapture unspeakable,
and brings me a peace that passeth
understanding. She is mine, and
I am her’s—I live for her, and my
communion with her is the sweet
est thing that this earlh affords.
To her do I go for consolation in
my darkest moods, and ever does
she soothe and comfort.
Tokita, should you ever play me
false, or prove unlike my love, you
will rob my life of all its sweet
ness For'upon your altar hav«I I

bring my incense of love and wor

how long, I-eannot tell; but I have
loved thee with a love that has
never faded, and shall never fade.
Come now, and lay your touch
my troubled and rebellious soul.
Teach me the goodness and the
beauty that I see in thee—sreak to
me with your soft and tender tones,
and woo me from these low-born
thoughts. Oh, Tokita, lift me up
into your own likeness—show me
nobler dreams and visions, until I
shall become like thee.
I hear the soft wind stirring in
the pines, Tokita. Gome now,
sweet spirit, and abide with me.
Lot me feel thy touch, and
thy voice—sweeter than the sound
of music. The tops of the pines
are bending low, and
high and stately secrets to
othei. Come now, come from
their midst, fair maid, and let
feel thy presence. Come,'
Tokita, into my heart and
arid leave me not again.

Vinol strengthens the digestive or
