Making a Happy New Year
by W. G. Strong
"Open to me the gates." What more
in caningful 'part of the old temple
architecture could have dramatized the
forward march of time than those majestic
doors that wouldslosc at the end of the day
and open anew with the light of dawn. It is
this picture of gates closing to mark, the
end of the old year and gates Opening to
herald the beginning of a new year which
so tremendously impresses us as we pause
on its threshold to reflect upon the events
of the past year. As we contemplate upon
the past, let us resolve to walk into the
future with malice towards none and
kindliness towards those fellow pilgrims
whom we shall meet and greet in the way.
This is the time for the age-old ritual
associated with the turning of the
calendar; a time for review and forecast;
for looking back and looking forwar d; for
resolutions and rededications. The fact of
another January does not mean a wiping of
the slate and a start on a clean one.
Problems of individuals, organizations,
nations and the whole world have a habit of
holding over. What was unsolved in 1974
remains to be solved in 1975. Factually
nothing changes because a "4" has given
way to a "5". But there is a change
although the calendar has little to do with
it. Marking the New Year serves a purpose
as a symbol. It is like a sign post or a
highway marker. It tells us that we are
headed somewhere and cannot stop the
flight of time. There is one year less to do
what we should do and want to do; One
more year grant ed to achieve whatever
goals we_ have set.
Time •
The approach of a New Year prompts
reflection on the strange dimension of
existence called time. Poets and wise men,
in all ages have recognied time as both a
bane and a blessing. John Milton called
time "the subtle thief of youth." That
description requires no explanation to
anyone Over twenty-one, It has a double
meaning for middle-aged parents who
have learned that time turns children into
teenagers and teenagers into adults. And
it all happens so quickly. "His golden locks
time bath to silver turned. 0, time so swift! -
0 swiftness never ceasing!" wrote Peele
four centuries ago. But time does not move
swiftly for everyone. It moves in divers
paces with divers persons. For some it
ambles, for some it trots, for some it
gallops and for some it seems to stand still.
Robert Burns alleged that "nae man can
tether time nor tide."
It is a paradox that although even a child
can tell us, what time it is, the profoundest
philosopher cannot tell us what time itself
is. One sage defined time as infinite
movement without one moment of rest.
We sense the pass ing of time in our
consciousness. We measure its progress
with delicately adjusted instruments. We
mark its flight and read the record it leaves
behind. What is time? The shadow on the
dial, the striking of the clOck, the running
of sand in the hour-glass, day and night,
summer and winter, months, years,
centuries - these ar e but arbitrary and
outward signs;* the measure of time not
time itself. Nature is a huge clockmaker's
shop in which thousands of time pieces are
forever ticking. Pulse beats indicate the
fleeting moments; the rotating of the earth
marks the passing of day and night; the
phases of the moon, the moving of the e
months; the revolution of planets, the
march of years. Geology studies the
wrinkles written by Time of Earth's brow.
Astronomy studies the clock-work of the
heavens. Archaeology, peering among the
relics of the ancient past, traces the
footprints of Time in ages gone by. In our
common parlance we speak of Father
Time, visualizing him as an old man With a
long white beard carrying. a scythe in one •
hand and an hour-glass in the other.
"Remorseless Time -
Fierce spirit of the glass and sc ythe
, what power
Can stay him in his silent course or
melt
His iron heart to pity? On, still on,
He ptesses and fotever."
-The Thief
Time is too often a thief who 'steals the
strength from a man's muscles and the
youthful beauty from his face. Time robs
many of us of our health and finally stripS
us of everything we have. However, to the
Christian, time has a moral and a spiritual ,
meaning. Time is a trust. What are we
doing, with ,it? Are we .frittering it away,
letting it slip through - our fingers,
squanderingitin wanton waste or are we
treasuring it using :it ' •to a maximum
advantage, filling every: minute. with sixty
seconds' •werth ef-service to. God and to:
man? Time cannot be recalled. Time past
is time over which we have no poWer but
time to come applies a test to us and lays
upon everyone the PpciSsibility of Social,
moral and spiritual choices. It behooves
each of us ;to ask,•f ",„-",What am I doing 'with
my time?"
New Ye:Ai':
Each one of us can make 1975 a truly
New Year, ,,One, of the great hindrances in.
our our world is that so, many people., ordinary
citizens and leaders in national 'and
international ,affairs 7 refuse ,to become
neW tliemselges. We change the calendar
but we do not change ourselves. We do not

There is no scarcity of new years but there
is a.,scarsity,of individuals who Ane rnoVed 1
