NEW YEAR THANKS.
(By Mercer Williams.) ....
The old year gone, the New
Year come. The passing of
yti.ia is like the passing of
generations, one year fills the
vacancy of another while gene
ration fills the vacancy of gen
eration.
Seemingly the change of
years brings to me the deepest
sense of solemnity. To part
with the old year in a sense
is like parting with an old
friend, or associate for whom
you have the greatest respect
while it is true of course that
in the old year we have ex
perienced many hardships and
cares, yet it is true that we
have been afforded much hap
piness and joy, many oppor
tunities for success that may
never come within our reach
again, and a happy associa
tion that can never be exper
ienced in all of its sweetness
and fragrance as it once was.
Truly the passing of years
are like the passing of genera
tions is a solemn t. mg. We
love the old year because we
have associated with it. We
know what the old year has
brought to each of us because
we have read its record. Our
meeting with the New Year is
like meeting new acquaintance
of whom we know nothing,
like meeting a stranger, in oth
er words whose face is un
familar with intentisive and
ambitions unknown to us.
But lets give the New Year
a welcome in our midst by ex
tending to its providence our
hands of friendship, commit
ting to its care our every trust
and by all means feel our de
pendence upon the great God
who hath made all things ac
cording to the good pleasure
of His will and for His glory.
It is an easy task indeed to
rehearse with tears and plea
ure the dealings of the old
year with us. We tell repeated
ly the happier events, occas
ions and results of the things
whose abode are now in the
past. But who can tell what
the future holds for us, oh,
who can tell what tomorrow
the next day, the next month
or next year will bring forth.
Avery difficult task is it not?
We may suppose, we may
make a thousand guesses, we
may offer numerous opinions,
but who can tell? Oh! who
can tell but God?
What a wonderful thing the
process of time is. It is like a
great factory with its median
cal means that makes or man
ufactures thousands of arti
cles and turns them out speed
ily by its well devised pro
cess for public usage.
What a beautiful compari
son for time is indeed a great
factory with machinery that
runs easily, swiftly and con
tinually. A factory that does
not suffer for neither the lack
of means or material. Being
Divinely devised it can not
fail but will continue its pro
duce moments, days, months,
years, centuries and decades
until time shall be no more.
Let us join in together and
make this New Year the sweet
est, greatest and best year of
our exsistence, turning our
thoughts from the things that
are behind, towards the future
possibilities of success that are
ahead. And above al 1 things
let us not forget to revrence
God who has bestowed all
past blessings and mercies
upon us. Let us not forget to
set new resolutions, not only
set them but stand by them de
termined to do the things that
right and honest in the
sight of God and all good men

Well, the New Year is here
and a lot of sickness in this
part, most every family. There
is some sick which makes it
pretty sad with us but the
Lords will must be done.
the Lords will towards us is’W
give us joy and peace if we
obey Him, but if we disobey
Him then trouble and sorrow,
grief and pain, so it seems like
we have disobeyed Him in
some way by the way the pes
tilence that is on us just now
the boll weevils and flu wars
and pestilence is an evidence
that something is wrong, for
Good book tells us that if we
obey the Lord we shall not like
for any good thing. May God
help us all to examine our
selves and see whether we be
in the faith or not. Now I be
lieve that our whole nation has
gone wrong and I believe that
it is time for another call for
this nation to ask God to for
give us of our sins and remove
those plagues from us. Some
people will say that the Lord
has nothing to do with those
weevils and flu but the bible
tells us. Behold I set before
you this day a blessing and
curse. A blessings if you obey
the commandments of the lord
your God, which I command
you this day, and a curse if ye
will not obey the Command
ments of the Lord your God,
but turn aside out of the way
which I command you this day
to go after other Gods which
ye have not known. Now we
can see that God has all powen
in heaven and on earth, and
He deals out justice to us all.
May the holy spirit help us to
search the word of God A see
where the trouble is. The Lord
knoweth them that are His.
Deut. 1:13., and I command
you at that time all the things
which ye should do. 29- then 1
said unto you, dread not, neith
er be afraid of them. Now
this was spoken concerning
the children of Israel, or
what befell them on their way
to Canaan and we are on a
journey now and we have a
command just as the children
of Israel and we must obey our
commander or else trouble
will befall us. So let us hear
the command and obey the or
ders thkt our Captain hafc giv
en us and these troubes will
be taken away and not before
May we all heed the orders
and march forward.
Painful Then.

Ne^lJ^s
(N OTH*—Tills article, printed la the
Boston Olobe In 18*3, predicted many
things which have become a reality In
much lesa time than anticipated.)
HIS New Year’s eve
while I lounged
with nothing else
to do, I scanned
each column of
the Olobe and al
most ere I knew a
growing dimness
stole across the
printed page; I drew It nearer, and be
hold I ’twas yellowed o'er with age.
My hands, I found, had wrinkled
grown, my locks were changed to
gray; my form was bent, my vision
dim, my teeth had passed away. And
as I gazed I heard a voice, “Good
morning, grandma, dearl X wish you
many, many times a Happy, Glad
New Year.” Then tall men said they
were my sons, ind daughters fair to
■ee told me this wasn’t ninety-three,
but nineteen forty-three.
Said I: “My memory has failed;
how goes the world today?”
“You shall go out this afternoon and
■ee the town,” cried they.
At that the tears flowed down ray
cheeks. Quoth I, “The days are ended
when these poor eyes could see the
sights.”
"Oh, no! wm’U have them mended."
A grown-up son then seised a knob
and gave three pulls upon It:
HMllMii/iill ~The c * r wtll be
your bonnet." And
Ihe coupe came;
|jp£ fabled horse was
j son i s t turned
and touched a
thlnk I’i lost m y
mind If I should
tell how * ast we
V hew, for we left
\\ the wind behind.
" We went to see
the surgeon first.
"The lenses crystalline have "grown
too fiat with age," he said. "We must
put new ones In."
With that he hypnotised my mind
In some peculiar way, such rare sweet
visions floated by, then quickly passed
•way.
I woke, my eyes were strong and
well, and hastening to depart we paid
the fee and entered next a gallery of
art But as to pictures, when I turned,
so very strange they seemed, I thought
the artist must have sketched the
stories he had dreamed.
"We never think of painting now,”
my guide suld, with a laugh. “These
•re but landscapes In the moon, taken
by photograph.”
"What! are there people In the
moon?" /j)*
“Oh, yes, Indeed!" said he. "Here It
a lunar telescope; look through and
you will see."
I gazed, and to my great surprise
distinctly saw them walking. I listened
at another tube and there I heard
them talking.
“You see," said he, “we’ve learned
to catch such swift. Intense Vibrations
In the thin ether that we bear their
slightest Intonations, look sur
prised,” my son went on. “I’ll show
those eyes of yours a sight worth
while, our famous scheme that beats
the Paris sewers. These llfttle gutters
ramify through all the Streets and
streets and catch the rsdu and hall
and melting snow. These tiny gratings
match, conducting down to pipes be
neuth, which take It miles below
straight towards the center of the
earth, where the great heat, yon kuow,
will turn It Into steam of course, and
up it comes ugaln, by other pipes, to
spin and weave and cook and print for
men. It feeds the factories through
the land with no expense for fuel; It
polishes for artisans full many a
precious Jewel. We've laid large pipes
through all the streets to warm the
winter weather, so rheumatism's out
of date and done with altogether.
"Now, mother, we will go and lunch
In Afric’s sunny clime," and drawing
put hla watch he aald, "I see there's
ample time. The sub-Atlantic tunnel’s
done; we’ll take It over there. The
cars are sent through every hour by
th# force of compressed air." He
plnced me on a cushioned seat within
an egg-shaped car, suspended In an
Iron tube. I felt a sudden Jar, and
then, to my astonishment, conscious of
nothing more, I found that we were
ptandlng upon the farther shore.
And soon we reaches a city near
the Mountains of the Moon. (They
told me Ethiopia would be admitted
soon as one of the United States, for
China late had been.) We found a
place to order lunch, by three tall men
brought In. They served us well, but
spoke uo word, while gravely bowing
low.
Quoth me: "I thought that slavery
was done with long ago."
“So ’tls,” said he. “Then who,” I
asked, "arc these three stalwart fel- 1
‘• w,r
“They are not human, mother, dear:
they’re only tame gorillas."
Much as I feared the tunnel
then, I feared gorlllus more, aDd glad
was I to come again back to oilr
beloved shore.
"When home once more my son re- i
marked: “You’ll want to see the play
fat the Olympian
theater; It la their
matinee."
-1 thing I'd like
to stay Indoors,"
I snld, “and rest
need not leave
the house,” he
answered with a
smite. “We do not
go to theaters
like the canaille,
I hope. Just dark
en, close the
drawing - room,
open the dloscope
and you wIU see
the actresses, the
, cornices and
frieze. Beside It stands the telephone
and you can hear with ease.”
“What Is a dloscope?” I cried.
“A small, objective lens, so placed
,as to command the stage (as all the
world now kens), connected by elec
trie wire with yon white plate of glass
that’s framed In panel on our wall,
and over this will pass the scenery and
actors both until the play Is through.
By electricians It was tried In 1882.*
But that Is quite old-fashioned, so I'll
show you something new. You’ll want
to ride In my balloon directly after
tea; I’ll take you, If you’re not too
tired, up to the Polar sea.”
His kindness overpowered me, and I
began to weep, when someone shouted
In my ear, “You are crying In youi
sleep.”
The Globe had fallen on the floor,
the lamp was growing dim, so what
my son might yet have said Is knows
to none but him.
•A fact.
BANISH THAT STRAW MAN
Supposing you thooght you had been
able to ward off all bad luck during the
coming yeur by merely throwing a
straw Image out of your house on the
last day of December. You would
have thrown out not only one Image,
but a dozen. And supposing that with
the discarding of the straw effigy you
had thrown away all your sins. This
Is what the people of far-away Kores
believe. On the day before New Year’s
the wise and far-seeing head a t each
family carefully makes a rough Image
of straw, which, with great ceremony,
■ls tnken to the door and thrown away
with all the vigor a man would exert
when he threw away HI fortune.
