Topic: New Year [From the Argonaut, San Francisco, California]

It matters not by which calendar one reckons the going of the old year, the birth of the new. The real New Year is not marked on any human calendar; it comes not by the calculations of man, or by the gyrations of astronomical spheres.

The advent of a new year means the coming of new—and better—thoughts, which in turn are the unfailing harbingers of better lives, healtheir individuals, more tolerant neighborliness. The dying of the old year represents, conversely, the uprooting of the old order, the plucking up of weeds, the tilling of the soil of the human heart that the blossoms of love, kindness, consideration—the Golden Rule—may shine forth anew to brighten the human pathway.
