"IN THE BEGINNING GOD."

John B. Willis

As New Year's day draws nigh, the traditional time for "making another start" in all good endeavor, not a few of us will be visited by the remembrances of many a good plan and undertaking earnestly entered upon in the past which has seemingly come to naught, and though we may be ready and glad to reenlist for the cause of this and that winsome ideal, we are likely to do so with more misgiving and less joy than becomes a time of good decision, and for the reason that past defeats are permitted to augur the repetition of such experience, the unhappy outcome of former undertakings are allowed to count as lessening the likelihood of overcoming in the tomorrow-trials of our faith and strength.
