The hand on the great dial of Time has moved once
more! 1914 has passed into inert listlessness and will be
known no more^ save upon the pages of current and fu-
ture history! In its stead, the New Year, 1915, has been
ushered in to us, bright and untarnished—a new record
book, as it were, whose pages of immaculate whiteness
are without spot or blemish.
Yes, 1914 is gone; its record is written indelibly upon
the rocks of Time—it cannot be changed! If we failed to
scatter the sunshine of hope and cheer—if we shirked our
duty for gain or through fear—if we allowed our lives
to become 'calloused with sin and let our life-boats drift
aimlessly down the broad and placid stream of “Don’t
Care;” it matters not how far adrift we may have been,
nr how much we may have fallen short in our hopes, our
ambitions, or our desire for ajhigher and better life—let
us remember that the past is dead; it is gone from us for-
ever; it has been gathered up and garnered in by the
Master Hand that guides and shapes all human destiny,
and, with it, has flown all of its opportunities for doing
good! r
But, let us not forget the glories of the present; let
us remember that each day and each year we make the
unchangeable record of our lives! Let us begin on the
lily-white pages of the new year-book, 1915, with the de-
termination, that—when the last page has been turned
and filled, when it must be passed back into the indes-
tructible archives of the past—no canker of sin or
blotches of wrong-doing will be found upon its pages!
Let’s plan for the future and DO in the present; if we
have flowers to place in the hands of friends and loved
ones, let’s do it while they are here to enjoy their frag-
rance ; if we would encourage the wayward, or assist the
unfortunate, let’s be about it; if we would broaden the
golden realm of Love and scatter abroad the gospel of
Good Cheer, let’s do it NOW—in the living, vital, pulsing
present—the only time we can claim as our own.
Let your record of yesterday be what it may,
You can’t be excused from DOING to-day!
Let’s not rest on our record of yesterday, or last
year; we have a NEW record to make this year—to-day!
It comes to us only through the bountiful goodness of
Him who gives us life, health and the means of happiness,
and those of us who misuse this glorious present, will be
fortunate indeed if we have a “to-morrow” or a “next
year” in which to atone for our wrong-doings and put
our hearts and onr lives in atune with the love of God and
humanity!
Let’s start the New Year off by beginning to DO the
things we have been promising our better nature we were
going to do! Planning for the future is alright, but
DOING in the PRESENT is essential to every well reg-
ulated, happy life! ; ,; ' J
