Vol. XXXIX Collegedale, Tennessee, January 3, 1945 No. 1 Happy New Year To All

By E. F. Hackman, President, Southern Union Conference

here is something about coming to the close of the old year and crossing the threshold of the New Year that I like. I must confess that I do not like the idea that the years are passing by, that all my friends T are getting older around me. But we can all thank God that with each passing year we are one year nearer the coming of our blessed Lord. "For now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed." I like to come to the close of the old year and look back on the many providences of God. I see His workings in a thousand different ways and my heart rejoices. I see His blessings upon the advent movement which ' He has established in the world. I thank God that during the past year the lives of our workers have been spared. No losS by fire or other disaster has come to our many institutions. I thank God for the progress we see everywhere. Hundreds of souls are rejoicing in a knowledge of the truth who were not with us when the Old year began. Yes, ,I like to think of these things and to thank God for His multiplied blessing& On the other hand, I look back over the year and see some things I do not like. I see where I have made, mistakes which I knOw have wounded others and'brought grief to the heart of my Saviour; but I am thankful that Jesus understands and forgives our mistakes and gives His grace to overcome all unrighteousness. Yes, in His mercy God has given us another New Year, so that we may make our failures stepping stones to . "I went to the throne with a quivering heart; The old year done; `Father, hast Thou another chance for me? I have, lost this one.' "He took the old year, stained and blotted, And gave me a new, one, clean, unspotted. Then down into my sad heart smiled, `Do better, next time, my child.' " .. This is the time to make resolutions, and while some do not believe in so doing, for fear they Will break them, yet it is always good to renew our determination to be more faithful in the service of God. I find that great men in the past made New Year's resolutions and they did great things for God, because, like Jesus, they set their faces to do the will of God. Jonathan Edwards, a mighty preacher for God and a great soul-winner, drew up the following resolutions for the New Year: _. "Resolved to live -with all my might while I do live; "Resolved never to lose one moment of time but todmprove it in the most profitable way; "Resolved never to do anything which I should despise, or think meanly in another; "Resolved never to do anything I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life." In David Livingstone's diary the New Year entry for January 1, 1870, reads: "The Lord help me to finish The work in hand before the year is out! Thanks for all last year's lovingkind nesses." The'entry for January 1, 1871, says: "Father, help me to finish the work to Thy honor." . Is that not a wonderful resolution to have for the New Year--to finish the work that God has committed to us? I belieVe Jesus was possessed of such a desire. It was uppermost in His mind. No one could read the seventeenth chapter of John without receiving this impression. Let us therefore-thank God for the privilege of seeing another New Year. Let us say with the Apostle Paul, "Forgetting those things which are behind,, loi and reaching fOrth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high call- 3 it of God in Christ Jesus." ' I extend to our thirteen hundred conference and institutional workers and all our people in the Southern Union my wish for a very happy and prosperous New Year in the Lord.
