Journal. i . - , WEARING OFF" is said to have originated in the twelfth century with Louis IX of France, who decreed that on a certain New Year's day ther soldiers of ms army should take, a vovvto refrain from Indulgence in strong drink for a whole year. The practice of beginning the new year with good resolutions, however, is very, very old. The 'custom goes hack to the beginnings of recorded his tory and was common to many peoples. Time was when the New Year's resolution was a solemn affair, marked by elaborate religious ceremonies. For sample, the Japanese, 300 years be lorefhrlst, made much of the day. All outstanding accounts and debts were cleared away, all enmities were ended under penalty of the law. The dwell ing house was swept and garnished; oia furniture and old clothing were cast away in exchange for new In the belief that the assumption of a new was complete only with the assumption of a new covering for the body. Iiy contemporary peoples was the ew Year day regarded as time of sol emn renunciation of all follies and an amendment for the future. In the days of the Pharaohs the Egyptians sym bolized their purification with elabor ate baths and fasting; the Persians and Phoenicians greeted the New Year , h Player to the heathen images and wIUyW:HIations. . i the passing of the centuries old j Year's vows have lost their for jnaL character.

"And," she added, "maybe that's a real good wish for John, too." "I wish I could, make my wife hap--py," said Jimmie. - "I wish I could make my husband Jealous," said his wife. "He wants me to be happy and he doesn't care how. If he only loved me the way I love him he wouldn't want any sucfr thing. don't believe there's a man living who knows what love means "My best wish for all my friends," said a 'writer, "is that they should have financial success. Perhaps money can't buy. happiness but It can buy all sorts of things to keep happiness In. It can buy health and strength, freedom from anxiety and leisure to do the things yon want to do.

It (Joesn't follow that a man will be happy because he Is rich ; but If a rich man knows how to be happy, he has a cinch. A poor man may know how and be all the more miserable for knowing. I wish with all my heart that you-had a mil lion and would lend me about four hundred." ; "What I want first is life," said the alleged philosopher. "The will to live Is fundamental, and needs no explana tion. I want health, because without it I am half dead. , I want food, shel ter and clothing to sustain life; and I want association with my fellows In order to expand It. I want freedo?n to satisfy these wants to the fullest ex tent ; therefore, I want everyone t be free. And I want everyone to Want freedom so that they will co-operate with me in getting it. I want knowl edge tojunderstand my wants and give me the power to satisfy them ; and I want others to 'share this knowledge so that we can work together for still greater satisfaction. I want no master to restrict my energies, and no slave to restrict my independence. I want cultured and educated people about me ; therefore, I want everyone to have education and culture. I want to 'live in a world where no one is nervous, or worried or afraid. Therefore I want to abolish poverty and the competition of man . against man. I want all the energies which the world is now ex hausting ir. war applied to the manu facture of the things we want. And I want these things distributed 'freely for the people's use, by a system of O'.stribution which would make war un thinkable. So I don't want much only a world-wide revolution." "There's no need 'of wishing you prosperity," said a young -woman of sixty-five. "That is equivalent to wish ing that somebody else has worse luck than you. I can't wish you more hap piness, because that may mean any thing from intoxication to vegetation. What I wish for you is youth the con stant consciousness that life is ahead of you, not behind, and a constant wil lingness to go ahead and welc&me It.': "My best wish," said a man who thinks he, is a thinker, "is that your own best wish comes true. The.trouble with most people is that they want you to have what they want and think yon ought to want, not what you actually do want yourself. I don't know what you want most and I don't care, but I hope you get it." , the highest regard, and its Individual observance, here and there, always ex cites surprise and the use of the tern?

The first half of the studfes, the part we have now m ave naa to do wtb the calling and gaining of Peter and John. najj. the lessons for the first quarter of 920, will have to do with vucir service.

Peter s fereat confession (Lesson 6) Matt. 16:43-24. i.ne Lordhad been reveallne him self In various ways to the disciples. He now examined them to see what they knew f ahout himself, peter, as spokesman tle rest of the disciples, confessed fiojth the., Messiahship and Deity of CJrlst v , 4. y itnes"es of Christ's eiory (Les son 7) Luk9 :28-36. The disciples were offended at the revelation ,of the cross ; their hopes were shattered because they could not see beyond tile cross. The transfigura tion convinced them not only of his es sential gloryj but gave them a fore- gleam of his triumph in his coming Kingdom (II Peter 1:16-18). 5. Jesus corrects John's narrowness (Lesson 8) ? Luke 9 :46-56. ! The disclpfes needed to know that all who are really doing the Lord's work, casting out devils, and canting hem out Ih' tJhrist's name, should be received Into fellowship and bidden Godspeed. L Religious intolerance Is displeasing to Jesus. 6. Jesus teaches true greatness (Les son 9) Johri j3 :1-J6. The truly jreat are those who take the lowest fcfice in service for others.! 7. Peter aid John asleep In Geth semane (Lessen 10) Mark 14 :32-42. Though Chflst was suffering the aw ful agony Iijthe garden, his disciples were asleep. Because they did not watch and pry, they failed In the hour of temptation! 8. At -the tibial crucifixion and resur rection of ! Jwsus . (Lesson 11) John 18:15-18; 19B5-27; 20 :1-10: 21 :1 5-1 9. Peter's presumptuous self-confidence kept him fijkn heeding the Lord's warning. He played the coward and even indulge in oaths. Note the steps In Peter's downfall : (l) Self-confidence (Mark14 :29). Jesus had just told them thift all of them should be offended. butTeter was determined to show the Lorf that he was mistaken In him. (2); Failure to watch (Mark 14:37). Self-confidence Is always fol lowed by uri?ratchfulness. One who thinks himself strong will go to sleep. (3) Failure til pray (Mark 14 :38). It Is the one wo realizes his weakness who always :eeks the communion of God in prailer. (4). Zeal without knowledge -' 3lark 14 :47). Peter thought now p make up for his lack of watchfulness and prayer by out ward acts. Jtany today are equally foolish. (5) Ijollowing afar off (Mark 14:54). Chrllfs rebuke of Peter for his ignorant zal cut him to the quick. He was not rady to forsake him. but followed afar bff. no doubt wondering what would me' . the outcome.
