What difference does a date on i the catenate' make? What differ. encs is there between. 1st January and 31st December? Ts all the fuss about a new year just a whole lot of nonsense Do you know of any single year that was better than the preceding one? We all know that there is a difference. The New Year means a new beginning. It ran mean 0 complete change in our whole outlook on life. The New Year bas in it the prospects of great- er happtnese Inc us all. It provides scope for all tite joys of the old year in addition, to that of its own. It is ie true that the mere changing of a e7 date cannot turn us from unhappy people into happy people, but the ° changing of our outlook can help us t escape many of the unhappy ex- periences of the old year. Always we have God to help us, The Bible says that God, sitting on the throne, makes all things new. He is able to make each new year a new beginning for lis, and He is able to renew the 'you' and 'me' that we take into the new year, With Him helping us, whatever cornea, it will { be a ba.Dpy new year—such a yeas as i the Post wishes for all its readers.. cee+gselrf'elseers?grwPee+.tgV, d3 ..ag _ d. 5P nu 1 ru Ji U9 0 A 0 R 9 r1 Holiday Visitors - M.
