"This is a new day"

ALICE S. HINKSON

How prone are mortals to dwell in the past, because of the joys they think it has usurped or the regrets it has not surrendered! Indeed, many hold so tenaciously to the happiness that was once theirs that they fail to experience the abundant measure of good which is awaiting them in the present. How well the lines of a loved hymn ask and answer the questions (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 391):

Why search the future and the past?
Why do ye look with tearful eyes
And seek far off for paradise?
Before your feet Life's pearl is cast.
