New Year’s Wishes By WILLARD M. ALDRICH* M a y we take this opportunity through the King’s Business to wish you a Happy New Year! May health, prosperity, and success be yours. May you he surrounded hy friends and cherished hy loved ones. May the deepest longings of your heart find satis faction. World conditions being what they are, we are beginning to get used to being sur prised that we are still here and not blown to bits. Year hy year we have been made conscious that this year may he the last — and for many, even in the natural course of events, it will he. W e wish that in some way we could guarantee to each one all the ingredients which go to make up a happy life. But it is not in our power to grant health, suc cess, and prosperity, and only in a limited sense can we supply the heart’s need for love and friendship. But we do know and recommend One who can bring happiness throughout the New Year -— the Lord Jesus Christ. He is able to give health, happiness, and success, and to know His love and His faithful friendship can mean more to you than anything else in the whole, wide world. He is able to give more than happiness. He can give satisfaction and joy, even when the things that make for happiness are swept away. Should health fail, prosperity vanish, and success disappear; should death re move friends and loved ones (and we all face these prospects in the new year); in short, whatever happens to take away happiness, Jesus Christ can give you peace, joy, and satisfaction in the new year and through all the years to come. Let Him be your confidence. Trust Him as your Saviour. Confide in Him as your Friend. Receive forgiveness at His hand. Share the eternal life He freely gives. With Him as your Saviour, come what may, your soul will he safe and your life sheltered in His love. The past is gone and cannot he re claimed. Why not forget those things which are behind and reach forth with vigor unto those things which are ahead. Jesus promises forgiveness for the past to all who will heed His call, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he [God] removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12). God’s love and pardon is wonderful. Have you experienced His forgiveness through Jesus Christ, His Son, of Whom it was written: “Behold the Lamb of God,' which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)? Jesus said: “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). In the New Year, make it a point to learn more about this wonderful Saviour and Friend through Bible reading and church attendance. *Dr. Aldrich is President of the Multnomah School of the Bible, Portland, Oregon.
