The Sew Year. This is the time when everyone \ says, “A Ilappy New Year.” anil too ] j many make promises only to break ‘them. After you have resolved “to s ! do unto others’ as yon would have i J | them to do unto you.” then the best i | resolution you can make is in. the ! t weighty lines of Tennyson in Loeksley Hnli: “Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Kintr out the narrowing lust of sold; Kill? out the thousand wars of old; ‘ King in the thousand years of peace. King in the valiant man and free; _ < The larger heart, the kindlier hand; , King out the darkness of the land; King in the Christ that is to be.” These words are used every year , many times by many people: but they are so great that time and everlasting use cannot “stale them.” The familiar life, the common Jot, ist j before the most of us. AVe can best*’ honor it by cheerfully aud earnestly making the most of it. A Happy New Year to you all.
