of future grace. W e live in anticipation and hope rather than in useless retrospec tion. W e hear the echo of the words of Paul: “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which aré before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:13, 14). Now, Lord, what wait I for? On Thee alone; My hope is rested, Lord, seal me Thine own. Only Thine own to be; Only to live to Thee, Thine each day begun, Have you learned something this year? You have had plenty of opportunity, you know. Think it over. Fifty-two Sab baths for hearing and learning and think ing about the .tilings that really count. Three hundred and fourteen other days for trying and testing and using the gains o f the Sabbaths. Perhaps you have learned: That it is easy to do God’s work when you are going God’s way. That it pays to go apart from the crowd — even the worshiping crowd— for a quiet moment of meditation. That service }s* the normal, healthy, and satisfying life of the Christian. That the more you know your Bible the more you love it. That stewardship is not hardship. That, in the school of Christ, willing ness is better than brilliance. That the church is more worth loving than ever, and never had greater need of being loved for its work’s sake. That self-will has no right to blame providence when things go wrong. “As we pass through these lingering hours of the,Old Year and begin the New . . . for you, as for myself, I would breathe the earnest prayer that you may ever remember what life is for, and be utterly unwilling to turn aside into the by-paths oP ease and self-seeking. May your vision of duty be clear, and your purpose steadfast, to know the exquisite happiness of helping all the people you can, being highly resolved not to waste any gift of life on profitless things. May you live always for the best things, rather than the second best. May you be given the seeing eye, the hearing ear, the under standing heart, that you may not miss the deeper, larger, more vital things of life. . . , Whatever the pain that may pierce your heart, may you always be able to trace the rainbow through the rain.— George W. Truett. Speak a shade more kindly than the year before, Pray a little oftener, love a little more; Cling a little closer to the Father’s love: Thus life below shall liker grow to life above. The past is fettled, the future is come, Therefore 1 for the present, Walk lighter, Look brighter, Gird up tighter, For “the Father himself loveth us.” Thine, with each set of sun, Thine, till my work is done. —Anna Warner. sfc * JK ; S ide L ig h t s Footing up the Year's Gains

“I only wish that the good men and women of England and America could know what it means to us boys and to the people of the Hills to be supported by them while we may learn the Word of God. Many boys would gladly come to learn, but they have not a rupee. They are willing to give their lives if some one will help them while they study and prepare to go out,” writes this zealous young worker. Shortage of funds has just compelled us to send back to their heathen tribes. where there is not a single Christian, four young men eager for Christian training. SHALL WE TURN THEM AWAY??
