The ]'resident's New Year ntrs.a,gc'
was 'based on the words, "The Lord
event before them in Et pillar of cloud
by clay." Referring to theChildren of
Israel the speaker said, "They real-
ized how snitch they needed guidance,
and their great need brought them in
closer touch with 'God. \Ve, too, need
guidance in these difficult times, when
our faith is challenged by the power
of evil '111 the world of 'loday. We,
too; may find that God is !behind the
clouds that overshadow tis, and that
He is able to make all ,things work to-
gether 'for good."
"1\lany calls will .count to us," said
the speaker, "for war work, and we
must 110 all we can to 'help: but we
mast not allow the work -of our
church and I\V!M.S. to suffer. If 'we
could only realize that our offerings
.are not just ;going to pay a worker's
salary, Isms to (bring new hope 'to the
lepers, to heal the eick, to- raise the
fallen, and to .care for the little
children, 'jut as our Lord did when
He teas 'here -on earth, surely our
'prayers and ottr gifts would the 'off-
ered glad''ly to .supply all (that is
needed. :es we look ,hack. we can see
that we have made mistakes, and leis
undone tiling: that we ought to have
done. in the coming year, forgetting -
those things that are .behind, may we
press 'forward to more consecrated
service for the Waster."
