New hopes, new chances. To the thinking man and woman, Dec. 31st, means much. It 1 is a line of demarcation between an old world and a new. The three hundred and sixty-five days that have (passed, are gone beyond re­ call with all their hopes, opportun­ ities taken and missed, with all their joys and sorrows. Of itself this • -knowledge inevitably brings regrets for looking back on the irrevoc- aible past is a sorry business. Thus much wiser are we, if we look for­ ward to the gloripus possibilities of the unknown future. We stand today on the threshold of a new change—a chance- to obliterate the past and right ourselves in the eyes of God. Let us, therefore, con­ sider how we stand in regard to our religious life. Are we progress­ ing in the way of Grace, or are we at a standstill, through apathy, and indifference. We live in a careless age and alas, now few try to break away from the modern trend, and live as practical {practising Chris­ tians. Now, in order to do this, in most cases it means a complete re­ organizing of life, and first and foremost Sunday must be taken in­ to account.
