Good Thoughts on New Years Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pastor of All Souls Church, gives this New Year’s thought In the current issue of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin: "About the happiest Invention of a man was the creation of a Nlfw Year; the feeling every twelve months that we are beginning anew and fresh year; the past behind us and a future bright i\Jth hope. “We are no longer children,, so that we cannot dream of fairies who are going to put magic rings on our fingers and with them command all we wish. We must not even think of a God who Is an infinite fairy, working benevolent miracles for us. “If the past has opened our eyes, we know that good things come as we work for them and deserve them. “No miracles will be wrought for us; the law of sowing and reaping will continue its inexorable sweep, and we shall get what we deserve. We must believe that what this year brings depends upon ourselves.”
