In this l>r, Taimage's Itrs' disc mrse
fur I re n? w year I e speaks wonls of
encouragement to all the timid and
doubling. The t \t is lCxodus xii. 2.
''This month shall 1>* unto you tie
beginning of months; it shall he the
first month of the year to you."
The last month of t he year has passed
out of sight, and the first month
of the new year has arrived. The midnight
gate last \\ edne.sda> opened, and
.January entered. She deserves a better
name, for she Ik called after .Janus,
the heathen deity who. they supposed,
presided over doors and so might lie
expected to president the opening of
t he year. This moid h was of old called
tlie wolf month because, through the
severity of its weather, the hungry
wolves came down seeking food and
devouring human life. In the missals
of the middle ages .lanwrav was represented
as attired in white, suggestive
of the snow, and blowing the lingers.
as though suffering from the cold. and
having a bundle of wood under I In*
arm. suggestive of 1 lit* warmth that
must bo kindled.
Yes January is t ho open door ot t he
year, and through that door will route
what long professions, some of them
bearing palm leaves and some mvrtle.
others with garlands of wheat and
others wit It cypress and mistletoe.
They are coming, and nothing can
keep them hack 1 he events of it
twelvemonth. It will. 1 think, he one
of the greatest years of all time. It

The lamest year for main a decade

reared its millions ofauirriagc a It sirs.
We can expect greater events in t Ids

The 11 res are kindled in furnaefs not

The velocities whirling ?h rough the air

the earth might cease to tremble with
the last- cannonade and the heavens
cease to he lighted up with any more
contlagat ion of homesteads and the
foundries that make swords lie turned
into blacksmith shops for making
plowshares.
The front door of a stupendous year
has opened, before many of you there
will be twelve montlis of opportunity
for making the world better or worse,
happier or more miserable. Let us
pray that it. may be a year that will
indicate the speedy redemption of the
hemisphere. Would to Cod that this
might be the year in which the three
great instnnnenls nowehiellt\ used for
secular purposes might he put to their
mightiest use in the world's evangelization

swift wing, such lightning fool, that
it occurs to me that it maybe the angel
that St. .John saw and heard in apoc-,
alyptic vision when lie started hack
and cried out. "1 saw another angel
dying in the midst of heaven having
the everlasting gospel to preach unto
them that dwell on the earth and to
every nation and hindered and tongue
and people!" They were tongues of tire
that sat on the heads of the disciples
at t he Pentecost, and why not the
world called to (Jod by tongue of elee- j
trie lire? Prepare your batteries and
make ready to put upon the wires the
world wide message of "whosoever
* will."
Furthermore, t.ltis month of January
has the greatest height and depth of,

chains. The fountains, that made highest
leap in the summer parks now toss
not one jet, for every drop would boa
frozen tear. The sleds erauneb through
the hard snow. Warmest attire the

may defend ourselves against the fury
of the elements. Ilardestof all the
months for the poor, let it he the season
of greatest generosity on the part
of the prosperous. I Tow much a scuttle
of coal or a pair of shoes or a coat
or a shawl may do in assuagement of

sun went down at 4:30, but In this

We shall have more light for t lie home,

Again. I remark that the month of
January has seen main of the most
st upendous events in the world's Inston
and a rocking of cradles and the
digging of graves that have alfeeted
nations. In this month American in- I
dependence was declared, followed I?\
Lexington and hunker Hill and Monmouth
and Valle\ forge and York- !
town. January saw the pi. clamati n
that alHilished American slavery.
Though at the time there were two
mighty opinions and tlmv were exactly
opposed those who liked the (I it'llinent
and t hose who disliked it there
is hut one opinion now. and if it were
: put to vote in all I lie states of the
'south, "Shall slavery lie reinstated'.-'"
: there would he an overwhelming vole I
of "No!" The pen with which I he I
! document was signed and the inkstand
I that contained the ink are relics assa- 1
ered and valuable as the original l>ee- j
laration of Independence, with all its
erasures and interlineations. The institution
which for seventy or eighty
years kept the nation in angry controversy
has disappeared, and nothing is
left to light ahout. The north and
mi-Mini ii iouay arc in ;is complete accord
as ever wen- tlnte and cornet in
the same orchestra. The north has
built its factories on the banks of the
Chattahoochee and the Hoanokc. and
the south has sent many of its ablest
attorneys into our northern courthouses,
its most skillful physicians
into our sickrooms, its wisest bankers
into our exchanges, its most consecrated
ministers into our pulpits all 111 is
the result of the proclamation of .Ian.

Hut January, like all the other
mot hs of t lie year, has bad it s sadnesses
and its disasters. during this
month died Llniueus, the botanist of
Sweden and the world, who called the
roll of the llowers and shrubs and
trees, putting them into companies
and culling them by their names, his
beautiful statue standing in a park of
Stockholm, a rose held in his right
hand. During this month expired
Francis Hacon, and (larrick, and
Louis VI., and William Pitt, and
Francis Jetfrey of the immortal pen,
and Disraeli t he llrst, and Kdward F.v
ereu, hum itruco, and Catiline. In
this month died Peter t.lie (treat, the
man nf whom it was written: "lie
pave a polish to his people and was
himself a savage, lie taught them the
art of warfare, of whieli he himself
was ignorant. Kroin the sight of a
small boat on the river Moskwa he
erected a powerful Meet, making himself
an expert and active shipwright,
sailor, pilot and commander. lie
changed the manners, customs and
laws of the Kussians and lives in their
memory as the father of his country."
Itn 1 I cannot read the epitaphs of
one (ait of a hundred illnst rous graves
in this tirst moidh of (lie year. Many
of those well known gained half their
renown and did half their work
through the help of tiioseof whom we
know little or nothing. Lord llcrsehel
is known all the world over and will he
known through all time, hut little is
said of her who was lx>rn this lirst
month of the year and without whose
help lie never could have been what lie
was his sister. Caroline Lucretia Augusta.
She helped him hunt the

the most unlucky properties in the

was recently expended to sink a shaft

(lov. McSweeney regretted his inability

A detail from the local police force

the people jamined around the car and
