ON
NEW TEAR'S EVE In England,
All in the olden day,
The children went a-caroling.
All In the olden way
And ever as they journey'd- on,
This chorus would you hear:
"Ood send you happy, God send you
happy.
Pray God send you ajiappy New Tear!"
Across the' fields and meadows
And through the frosty light,
While starry eyes and starry skies
Illumed the Wintry night,
The children caroled blithely on,
In chorus sweet and clear:
"God send you happy, God send you
happy.
Pray God send you a happy New Tear!"
Our days are sadly modern,
Our ways are modern, too
But hearts still beat as high with love
As once they used to do
So 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 Tear!"
Nora Archibald Smith.

Tal
HOUGH every day Is a new be
ginning, and so far as our person-
,_s_ experience is concerned a
*hew year" may start any time, there is
something about the ending of Decem
ber and the.first week or so of Janu
ary that makes even {he careless
thoughtful. The passing year has
brought both Joy and sorrowwhat
may not the next have in store?
Where shall we be when the New Year
bells fall on our ears again? Who wlir
be with us? Shall we be ill or well?
Disquieting questions that disturb our
ease and make us inclined to fear.
We have blundered sorely, it may be,
ipt the old year some of its pages are
blurred with regret, or the sombre
stains of remorse.. And. no, matter
what happiness may have been ours,
there is always something we did or
left undone which, saddens us as we
remember. Shall-we make the same
mistakes once more, leave the same
blotted record? Our hearts grow chill,
and we turn away, disheartened on the
New-Tear's threshold.
This is quite the wrong spirit in
which to face the battle that lies be
fore us. It is right that we should
look back to see where we failed, and
how. .But this once recognized, with
our plea for forgiveness?a plea that
will never be ^refused if we ajcv truly
sorrywe must lift up our hearts
again and set-out to slay our*enemies.
They* are within us,"*hot without. .In-
side our citadel dwells, that evil tem
per, that pride, that-indolence, that
greed or envy which tempts us to de
sert our coloreto think that the fight
is hopeless. Each of us has his-own
special temptation, and, once we real
ize the form ours takes, the- way lies
straight before us.
Ifs the fashion to smile at New
Year resolutions,' so often made only
to be*broken but they, are a definite
help If we make them firmly intending"
to keep them! They will only weaken
us if we throw them, to a troublesome
conscience merely as a sojsomethin
to-keep it quiet for the time, until It
goes to sleep a gala?* Providing that
they be ^sufficiently elastic to change
their, form when there" is reasonable
caused rules fence Imdutics that might
be neglected andv
vwe
ke,ep them in the
forefront* of our minds. But to multi
ply rules is a big mistake, for there
is one which, faithfully kept, will
make us both blessing and blessed.
The Rule of Love. Just loving our
neighbor as 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 lis forgiving him as we
would be forgiven considering him as
we Would be considered /helping him
when he needs it'with the thoughtful
delicacy which makes help acceptable
instead of humblin'g respecting, his
weakness, his prejudice, his infirmity
laughing with him instead of at him
and, should,there come a time when
sincerity demands,, we should say what
we 'know will not please him, taking
care to blend truth with charity.
All the "little" rules we make for
ourselves come into line with this one.
The Rule of Orderoh, how many
New Years have we not begun with
the resolution that we would-not leave
our things about, nor lose them, nor
hide them away! For we cannot be
untidy all to ourselves any more than
we can be ill tempered and not spoil
someone else's pleasure and nothing
Is more upsetting to already wearied
brains than the fuss and worry of
hunting for things which should be
ready to hand. The Rule of Punctil
iousness In little things, that famous
"oiler of the wheels of life," will make
us both polite and punctual, as we
must be if we would be pleasant to
work with (judging other people's
preferences by our own!) The Rule
Of Getting-Up-in-Tlme (this almost
-deserves all capitals!) means, if kept,
a great deal more than our own con
veniences, since everything we do pr
leave undone is bound to. react on our
neighbors.
And even if we often fail to keep,
even fltfullyi the golden rule which
enjoins us to love them as Ourselves,
every effort we make in this direction
brings its own reward, here and now.
As we grow Into the habit of thinking
of people kindly we cease to be an
noyed at their peculiarities, and create
an atmosphere of good, feeling in
which tiiey cease to be annoyed at
burs. -We must always remember that
the bearing and forbearing is not
needed on our side aloneas Thomas
a Kempis said long ago, when ^we find
our neighbor difficult to put up with,
may be sure^that he finds it equally
difficult to put up with us. There will
always be need for self-control and
patience but when we reckon up gain
and loss on the eye of 1923, in the
measure we have kept the Rule of
Love, so one will outweigh the other.
"We turn and look upon the valley
of the past year,"\ says Stopford
Brooke. "There below are the spots
stained By our evil and our fear. But
as we look a glow of sunlight breaks
*4ipon the past, and In the sunshine Is
/a soft rain falling from heaven. It
washes away the stain, and from the
purity of the upper sky a voice seems
to descend and? enter our sobered
hearts. *My child, go forward, abiding
in faith, hope, and love, for lo, I am
with you alway'
May the New Year bring us all near
each other as children of the same
dear Father^Exchange.

troubles there are few of them that
cannot be adjusted satisfactorily. It's

ture of their fellows and there will
