AT THE YEAR'S END
What fixed the time for the ending of one year
and the beginning of another? More light In
the countries where winter is cold and dark and
grim the severest weather come after the old year
goes. It was not in less biting air, but in increas-
ing light that proof was founcTof the "turn o' the
year."
The dead year is often buried to the dirge of
winter's most bitter winds. The frost is goink
deeper, when the season is normal. Nature's
sleep is most profound. There is only one sign that
the sun has turned and is coming back. That
evidence is a little more daylight, a little less of
the darkness of night.
But more light is enough. It makes the change
a time of joy, of new hopes and more confident
turning to the future. There is the promise of
spring in the added light of the dav and the
promise of growing good and retreating evil in the
coming of the new ..year.
It means that mankind has another chance for
better things. It gives hope a new foothold and
endeavor a fresh start. The world is invited to
turn its back on the mistakes and sins and troubles
of the past and look to the ever-wonderful possibil-
ities of the unknown time to come.
There is the charm and joy of New Year's. In
that revival of drooping confidence, in that lure of
the infinite future, lies the appeal of the day
which is always greeted with enthusiasm, no
matter how many generations have seen the hopes
of the year's birth wither before its death. After
many failures success may come. Who knows?
That is the magic question-"Who knows?"
The world gains from year to year in a thousand
little things, and sometimes a great evil long en-
dured goes crushing down. Who can say what
the limit of triumph may be in the better times to
come?
For the world, like every yoyng year, is getting
more light. It has more of the sunshine of truth,
.more of thrlife-glvmg rays SFimowletige. If -
they seem cold and sterile, at times, it is because
humanity's year is still voung. ' 'We are ancients
of the earth, and in the morning of the times."
This increasing light of knowledge, this bright-
er beacon to guide the steps of mankind, must
flower and fruit in richer gains than humanity
has yet won. It is an accumulating force, like the
warmth whieh the sun gives the earth in the
spring.
The thinkers and dreamers of the world know '
that this is so% They are inspired by the con-
sciousness that with growing knowlekge there
must come increased power and higher wisdoni to
direct and control it for the help and uplifting of
mankind.
Their faith sees the life and growth, the color
and warmth of spring, in the lengthening days of
winter. They perceive that the world of men and
women, and of the children, too, though still far
from the full tide of its snmmer is already well
into the long new year of the human family.
They are as certain of the spring for all mankind
as they are that January will pass and May will
come.
