I A New
I Year's Song :
H
ON NEW TKAIV8 BVE In England,
All In the olden day,
The children went a-carollng,
AH In tho olden way;
Ard ever ns they journey'd on,
This chorus would you hear:
"God send you happy, God send you
hnppy.
Fray God send you a happy New Year!"
Across the fields and meadows
And through the frosty light,
While starry eyes and starry skies
Illumed tho wintry nlnht,
Tho children caroled blithely on,
In chorus sweet and clear: ,
"God send you happy, God send you
happy.
Pray God esnd you a happy New Yearl"
Our days .nre sadly, modern,
Our ways are modern, too;
Dut hearts still beat as high -with lovo
As once they used to do
Bo take the old-time message.
Good friends, both far and near;
"God send you happy, God send you
happy.
Pray God send you a happy New Yearl"
Nora Archibald Smith.

A Rule
of Life
ii ii
THOUGH every day Is a new be
ginning, and so far ns our person
al experience is concerned a
"new year" may styt any time, there Is
something about the ending of Decem
ber nnd the first week or so of Janu
ary thnt makes even the careless
thoughtful. The passing year has
brought both Joy and sorrow what
may not the next havo In store?
Where shall we bo when the New Year
bells fall on our enra again? Who will
bo with us? Shall we be 111 or well?
Disquieting questions that disturb our
en to and mnkc us Inclined to fenr.
Wo have blundered sorely, It rauy be,
In the old year; some of Us pages are
blurred with regret, or the sombre
stains of remorse. And no matter
wjint happiness may hare been ours,
tnere Is always something we did or
left undone which saddens us us we
remember. Shall we make tho same
mistakes once more, leave the sumo
blotted record? Our hearts grow chill,
end we turn away, disheartened on the
New Ycar'6 threshold.
This is quite tho wrong spirit in
which to face the battle thnt lies be
fore us. It Is right that we should
look back to see where we failed, and
how. But this once recognlred, with
our plea for forgiveness a plea thnt
will never be refused if we are truly
borry we must lift up our hearts
ngnin and set out to slay our enemies.
They nre within us, not without. In
sldo our citadel dwells that evil tem
per, that pride, that Indolence, that
greed or envy which tempts us to de
sert our colors to think that tho fight
is hopeless, Kach or us has his own
special temptation, and, once we real
ize tlio form ours takes, tho way lies
Htntlght before us.
It's the fashion to smile nt New
Year resolutions, so often mado only
to be hroken; but they are a definite
help If we make them firmly Intending
to keep them I They will only weaken
us If wo throw them to a troublesome
conscience merely ns a sop-yiomethlng
to keep It quiet for the time, until It
coes to Mepp again. Providing that
they bo BiKuclently elnstlc to change
Mit'lr form when there Is reasonable
cause, rules fence in duties that might
be neglected nnd keep them In the
forefront of our minds. But to multi
ply rules Ih n big mistake, for there
is one which, faithfully kept, will
make us both blessing and blessed.
.The Itule of Love. Just loving our
neighbor us we love ourselves; serving
him, trusting him, hoping for him.
Refraining even under grave provoca
tion from saying what would sting If
he said it to us; forgiving him ns wo
would be forgiven; considering him no
we would bo considered ; helping him
when he needs It with the thoughtful
dellcncy which makes help acceptable
instead of humbling; respecting his. . . ,-'"
weakness, his prejudice, bis Infirmity; I
laughing with him Instead of ut him;
und, should thcro come a time when
sincerity demands, we should say what
we know will not please him, taking
core to blend truth with charity.
All tho "little" rules we muko for
ourselves come Into line with this one.
Tho Rule of Order ob, how many
New Years bnve jve not begun with
the resolution that we would not leave
our things about, nor lose th.cm, nor
hide thrm away I For we cannot Ira
untidy nil to ourselves any more than
we can be III tempered und not spoil
someone else's pleasure; nnd nothing
Is more upsetting to already wearied
brains than the fuss nnd worry of
hunting for things which should be
ready to hand. The Itule of Punctil
iousness in little things, thnt famous
"oiler of the wheels of life." will make
us both polite nnd punctual, as we
must be If we would be pleasant to
work with (Judging other people's
preferences by our own I). Tho Rule
of Gettlng-Up-Tn-Tlme (this almost
deserves all capitals!) means. If kept,
n great deal more than our own con
veniences, since everything we do or '
leave undone Is bound to react on our
neighbors.
And even If wo often fall to keep,
even fitfully, the B'den rule which
enjoins us to love them ns ourselves,
every effort wo make In this direction
brings Its own reward, hero nnd now.
As we grow irto the habit of thinking
of people- kindly we ceare to bo an
noyed nt their peculiarities, nnd create
an atmosphere of good feeling In
which they corfo to be annoyed at
our. We must nlways remember that
the bearing nnd forbearing Is not
needed on our side nlone ns Thomas
a Kempls said long ago, when wc find
our neighbor difficult to put up with,
we may ho sure that he finds It equally
difficult to put up with us. There will
always bo need for self-control and
pitlence; but when wc reckon up gain
and loss on the oro of 1023, In tho
measure we hare kept tho Itule of
Lore, so one will outweigh the other.
"We turn and look upon the valley
of the past year," says Stopford
Brooke. 'There below are tho spots
stained by our evil and our fear. But
as we look a glow of sunlight breaks
upon the past, nnd In the sunshine !
a soft rain fulling from heaven. It
washes away the stain, and from tho
purity of the upper sky a voice seems
to descend and eater our sobered
hearts, liy child, y forward, abiding
'n faith, hone, and love, for lo, I am
with you alway'. . . ."
May tha New Year brine ns all noar
each other a children f tb name
dear Father. Exchange.
