The New Year
A •-
Nineteen hundred and twenty-six
will be buried in the pages of history
tonight tit 12 o'clock when the joy
bells of the New Year peal out.
We are seldom fully satinfied c at the
v.ork we complete, if it is a house we
build, something should have been
done differently; if it is the business
we have transacted, we see where we
have-failed to follow the best avail
able methods.
Always something might have been
done better if we had just known.
Yet, we are pot to know about our
physical being. The greatest care may
be taken and accidents may happen.
There are thousands of ways we may
be hurt or even lose; our lives. We
cannot safely insure our financial
success. There is rust, there are moths
thieves, floods and storms to
oiir houes and land. We are unable
to set our sails to all the winds that
blow in the busy world we inhabit.
However, the most important and
valuable asset man hats may be as
sured without the slightest variation
or the least fear of danger, ami that
is character. We know exactly how to
build character. Obedience to our
Father, true to ourselves and love and
serve our fellowman makes u men
>»ood ajid true. It may be that some of
u: have good inventories in business

THE GIFT OF SLEEP
For hours now I have been looking'
from my hotel room window and 1
see before me a large city with muny
apartments and big office buildings.,
It is past midnight and I seem to
hear the softly breathing of hundreds j
as jthey sleep in peace. They did an;
honest day's work and went to their |
sleeping place tired but contented and i
found rest. A great blessing—the jjjift J
of sleep.
And 1 seem to see' those, who can-1
not leep. Is it due to hunger, dis-1
tress or disappointment? Did they
| start today full of hope and encour- 1
i agement only to meet with failure and
I
j discouragement ? Will they start a
-1 gain torhorrow,' a new day and a new
; beginning, with a new determination .
| to win or will they be beaten before j
jthey leave home? Will they forget |
! their yesterdays of sdrrow and with a
prayer to God start out again with
r:ew hope and increased courage ?
We all have the e restless nights. I
Our minds are so troubled with the i
many concerns of the day just gone, I
sleep will not come. But this condi- j
tian is ofen brought on because we j
fail to let Jesus direct our lives. He
wants to direct your life and my life 1
in its entirety. When we are blue
luid lownhe«rted we sometimes think ,
of Him then. But when things are go
ing well we so often forget the Giver.
, In this great city tonight hundreds
jre enjoying restful sleep. The last
thoughts and words of many were j
ebout Jesus. And when this is the
case, God is able to step into the ,
|,
home.s and creep softly into the beds:
and give re ting sleep and pleasant!
dreams. He laone understands the J (
human heart and its longings.

It is a beautiful thing to look upon
jw child sleeping at night and prob- '
ebly wjhy it is so wonderful is because
Jo us was near when the little child
said,. "As I lay me down to sleep I
pray the Lord my soul to keep."
