YEARS MERELY
LIFE’S CHAPTERS
Offer Opportunity for Each of
* Us to Write Therein a
Record Better Than
the Preceding.
ii
THE coming year lies spread
like the white plain that
sweeps from the roadside to
the distant forest where the
gray squirrels are making tracks in the
light snow'. On this white sheet a lit
tle record may be written; not a full
life story, but merely a brief chapter
or two, like the chapters of squirrel
life that may be read by one who to
day ventures into the white forest.
» It is a great mystery that lies ahead,
a treasure house of endless possibili
* ties. The span of a man’s life is
short; shorter in absolute measure
fKSnt than the span of a year. For
ach year, when October fades into
November, has wrought completeness.
No human life can bring completeness.
It cannot bring completeness of know l
edge or completeness of happiness or
completeness of good works. The best
man can do, in his poor, limited way,
is to glean as much wisdom and win
as much happiness and do as much
good as the number of his days per
mits. When the human October fades
it may thus be rich and peaceful and
without the scars of stormy days or
the blight of wasted days and without
undue jegret that what should have
been seen and known and done has not
been seen and known and done.
i
A DEAR’S completeness is but a
twelvemonth. Our human incom
pleteness covers many twelvemonths.
How fortunate that each dawning year
means a new opportunity to live and
learn. Again and again we may take
up the thread and advance toward the
goal of apprehension. We may study
God’s works and year by year come
nearer to an appreciation of them. We
can never fully appreciate them, for
our minds are finite, and they are in

finite. But each succeeding year is a
new opportunity. It offers the perfec
tion of completeness, and by even a
partial comprehension of its fullness
we may move toward fulfillment of the
measure of our lives.
“I ajp not afrr.id,” said Tlioreau,
“that I shall exaggerate the value and
significance of life, but that I shall not
be up to the occasion which it is. I
shall be sorry to remember that I was
there, but noticed nothing remarkable
•—not so much as a prince in disguise;
lived in the golden age a hired man;
visited Olympus even, and fell asleep
after dinner, and did not hear the con
versation of the gods.”
ONE who loves only artificiality,
who does not note the excellence
of the world he has been set to rule,
proves himself unworthy of his herit
age, and is punished by bitter unrest.
His life lacks the boon of contentment
which includes all boons. There are,
or course, the few whose mental scope
is too narrow for self-measurement.
They do not even know that they are
discontented and may enjoy life as the
ox enjoys life. They are fortunate.
The unfortunate man is the one who
has, even dimly, an understanding that
the world Is good and beautiful and
that he is failing to reap the richness
that is rightly his.
The coming year is indeed a great
mystery, full of possibilities. Who
ever has not watched and studied the
-^OW many of us are wait
k ing for the opportunities
■ of the coming year! With
„kj how many of us is it the
unuttered hope that tomorrow,
next weeh, next month, the next
year may be as today tn its priv
ileges and opportunities, only far
more abundant.
We are told that the first day
of the New Year is an appropriate
time to form good resolutions.
But the New Year is tomorrow,
and there is a better time for
such a tasK, ancLthat time is to
day. For “now Is the accepted
time.”—Bishop H. C. Potter.
passing years may begin today; it is«t
never too late. Whoever has long
watched and loved the years will
know that to his knowledge, however
ripe, much will be added. He will ad
vance a step nearer to the goal of con
tentment, and in so advancing will in
crease his human usefulness, his help
fulness.
THE year dawns on an earth red
with blood, an earth torn with
strife. It will be for most of the peo
ple of the earth a year of sorrow and
of sacrifice. But for all this it will
not be a had year. Not half of civil
ized mankind but all mankind that has
not forgotten the meaning of civiliza
tion has been unselfishly, heroically
engaged in the needful work of rid
ding the world of a noxious parasitic
growth, the poisonous fungus of mili
tarism. For those who gave them
selves to this essential work it will be
a good year. For all who are suffer
ing that the years to come may be
happier and healthier the year will be
a good year.

brightness. April will spread her
feast of flowers. June will display her
green perfection of beauty. August
will offer the ripening grains; October
the laden orchards. The year will
take no heed of the crime that has
been done by man or of the vengeance
that marched inexorably.

POETS died in the trenches of Gal
lipoli and France, watching God’s
sunrise or the wispy clouds in the
blue. British gentlemen caked with
the mud of Flanders wrote detailed re
ports of their observations of migra
tory birds and of the effect of drum
fire on bird life. French students and
scholars, bearded and dirty, made
careful notes of the flora of the
Meuse and the Somme.
These men visited Olympus and did
not fall asleep while the gods con
versed. Neither did they permit the
roar of man’s fury to drown out the
divine voices.
So it must be a good year that is
ahead. There can be no bad years.
The years are measured by God and
not by the evil that men do.
Joy That AM Can Have.
The joy of living is best found in
the real success of life. Take away
success and there’s no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon
sibilities. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence, for he wants to con
tribute something to the world’s prog
ress, the world’s good. And it is in such
contribution that real joy is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali
zation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the joy this journal wishes every read
er may have the coming year; and will
have if they fully appreciate that the
new year is theirs, to make it truly a
happy new year.
Day Means Much to AM.
New Years suggest intimate personal
views of self. The annual crop of good
resolutions shows how near most
people are to becoming radically bet
ter. The day also bring a sense of the
inexhaustible resources of life. If is
the door into a wonderful future, new
inventions, new discoveries, new
lehievejneuts, of social justice and priv
ilege and joy for the masses of men.
