A NEW YEAR'S THOUGHT.

By S. S. Times

THROUGH the whole new year before us we are going to be under the eye of God. The eyes of the Lord thy God are upon thee from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. We could not have a better text, or a better thought, than that for the coming New Year's day. It will give us strength to make resolutions, and it will give us grace to perform our resolutions. Such a thought is a warning from sin, a power in labor, and a comfort in sorrow. The presence of an earthly friend will put out of our mind a temptation, or give us strength to overcome it; and, more than that, in the presence of that friend, there is the joy of companionship, and the confidences and the whole atmosphere of love. So is the presence of God; it is both a glory and a covering. God's friendship through the year is our bulwark and our high tower, our sweet solace and our great joy.—S. S. Times.
