The greeting that now comes by wire from a son on the other side of the world in former times was brought by the son himself, who sel dom went more than n day’s coach ride from the old homestead. Then father* and mothers, brothers and sisters, cous ins and grandchildren could all gather under the same roof. Then presents did not have to be done up iu packages and seut days ahead across the contl- uents or seas iu order to arrive at their destination in time for the annual holi days. But each brother and sister, each child and parent, could deliver the Christmas gifts with a smile and seal the holiday good wishes with a loving [ kiss. Some of us can remember the good old times when New Year’s day was a day of hospitality, dedicated to the re newal of old acquaintanceships by a custom now almost fallen into desue tude. That was the ancient custom of the Dutch settlers of New* York and the modern custom of our own fathers and mothers and older brothers and sis ters of making and receiving calls on the first day of the new year. The good spirit of the new year seemed to say to all fathers and husbands and brothers and sons: “Go forth and find out how many friends you have in the world. Go forth and renew your old acquaintances. Go forth and encour age each home for the coming struggle j of the new year.” Then wives ami mothers and daughters in the early ' eighties kept open house. Then New Year’s day in New York and Brooklyn brought such scenes as were witnessed 200 years ago, when the daughters of the Netherlands welcomed their friends to the ancient mansions on the Battery of New Amsterdam. Every dining room was tilled with tempting viands. Everywhere on every street went the men folks eniling, “Happy New Year!” Tims in many a troubled home came | courage and love and faith iu God and man on account of those friendly New Year Salutations. A New Year’s greeting is the sermon of this morning. With the same kind ly spirit in which friends used to come to my mother’s home and wish her a ! • Happy New Year” and with tender in their horses. If one farmer can have dcst of eyes. Why? They were look- in the twinkling of an eye. You would lag at a magnificent field of wheat that a few days ago was almost ready to he harvested. But that wheat by the storm was battered down and crushed into all sorts of shapes, like the waves of the sea tumbling upon the beach. They were looking at the wreck of a whole year of work. They were look ing into the bloodshot eyes and the red tongues of a hungry pack of wolves about to be unleashed by starvation, which soon would be growling and snarling about their doors during the coming winter. Ah, yes, it makes a great deal of difference how one looks s'* a coming year’s labor before and after a destroying tempest! Most of you, like Job. have bad your “torna does of trouble” which have wrecked the home and destroyed your business and killed your cattle and sheep and left you stripped and forlorn. Not Every Dark Cloud n Tempeat. But though hitter trouble may have assailed you in the past that is no rea son wliy you should think every dark cloud presages for you a destroying tempest. Indeed, I go further than that; I do not believe your past storms of troubles have all been destroying tempests. You are still living, you have survived your worst troubles, and now, chastened and strengthened, you are going forward armed by past ex perience and wiser by your trials, strong In faith, to meet what the new year may bring. It can bring with it nothing But he will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe his people too. When the great philosopher wrote the words of my text he was expressing a negative truth. “He that observeth the winds shall not sow,” and the con verse of that fact is that if a man will only go forth with a brave heart, if be will only plant and sow his seed faithfully and conscientiously, God will give him a large harvest. “To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.” Will you not believe this? O man, will you not go forth to your coming year’s work with a brave and a hopeful spirit for a coming conquest? But there are some whose apprehen sions of coming trial are based on facts of a different kind. “My trouble,” says one, “is not due to a lack of faith In God or in my own ability, but in the loyalty of others. The apostolic ad vice not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers extends further than the marriage relation. I am finding that out in the broader sense of business. It also means that those who are un- | equally yoked together can never pull well as a team. My business associ ates and I are fretting and worrying and irritating and retarding one an other's labors.” Yes, brother, I at once catch the meaning of your Bible simile. Al though born in the city, I have spent a great deal of my spare time iu the country, and I have witnessed again and again feats of horse team pulling.

What you need, O man. at the begin ning of this new year is to take a big Inventory, not of your misfortunes, but of your blessings. Find out all the bright things you know about your life. Bepeat them over and over and over to yourself. Get faith in God and in yourself. Then your associates will get faith in you. By their increased labor you will get faith in them. Then, to gether with faith in each other and faith in God, you will go forth with re newed zeal for the seed planting and the multitudinous harvest will surely come. Never let your associates know that you have lost faith in yourself. The poorest song a farmer ever sung in the time of sowing and seed planting is the pessimistic song of oid, which will destroy the enthusiasm of every farm hand: Thirty days hath September, April, Juno and November; From January up to May it ralneth every day; All the rest have thirty-one, without a blessed ray of sun, And if any of them had two and thirty They’d bo Just as wet and twice as dirty. “Well,” says some one else afflicted with New Year’s timidities, “I not only have lost faith In myself and in my associates, but I have also lost faitli in the good deeds which I try to do for the lost and the need?- I xm not an angel. I make no pretense of being a perfect man, but I do try to do some good in tbe world. Almost all my good intentions have gone for naught. I can understand the disappointment of men who have made honest but who now arises with tears in her eyes and says, “Thank God, I have been saved from sin,” may tomorrow be treading again the old path of wicked ness. That man who signs the pledge tonight may be drunk again next week. That penitent gambler is only penitent until you give him a start in life again, and then lie will gamble away bis sub stance just the same as he has done in the past. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth lately wrote a book entitled “After Prison, What?” After prison for most ex-convicts is prison again. Two-thirds of the inmates of the penitentiary serve more than one term each. Once a thief for many of them is always a thief. I.abor Not Lost. “All that you state is true,” answers the missionary of the New York slums. “One-third, one-half — aye, perhaps three-fourths—of all our reformed cases may become backsliders. But if one out of every four—aye, if one out of every ten—be saved, is not the tenth man worth all the effort we have be stowed on the other nine? All the seed the farmer plants does not fall on good soil. Shall the farmer cease to plant? All our labors for Christ may not bring in a gospel harvest, but are not tbe re wards we receive a multipotent bless ing for our labors, no matter bow great they may be?” The New York mission ary is right. “Yes,” some one says, “that is very pretty talk, but it does not bear well the test of logic. If while I sow one good sqed nine other men are sowing tares, will not tbe nine tares increase just as rapidly as the one good seed? In time will not the earth, instead of being covered with the glory of God ‘as the waters cover tbe sea,’ be covered with tbe blood of a destroyed world? Instead of the world being better, as we would wish, is it not morally and spiritually becoming more and more depraved? Have I not a right, then, to my new year timidities?” No, my futile attempts to help people, for the brother! No, no! A thousand times otherwise with starving men. A Life at Stake.

But in stead of wishing you a “Happy New Year” In the brusque, happy-go-lucky way in which friend used to salute friend upon the street I am going, as your pastor, to have a heart to heart talk with you. I am going to have you first tell all your troubles and fears, and then I shall say: “Friend, for the past twelve months you have been looking on the dark side of life. You have been indulging too much in gloomy anticipations and anxieties. You do not seem to he willing to enter the battle of 1905 with a brave heart and a cheerful countenance. What is the matter?” Then you will point out to me all the dark clouds that are hang lug upon the edge of your horizon, and you will tell me why this New Year’s day is to you a "blue Sunday.” Then 1 shall try, by the help of God, to scat ter those dark clouds and change your new year timidities of doubt into new year certainties of gospel hope. Hope For the DlarouraKed. “Why art thou cast down, <) my soul, and why art Uiou disquieted within me?” “First,” you answer, “because I have been defeated so often iu the struggle of life that my backbone Is gone. I have been like n sea captain who has been wrecked again and again until at last be feels that every threatening storm means a foundered ship. I utn like a merchant who has been caugbt iu three or four great pan ics and again and again, through no fault of liis own, has laid his fortune swept away. He is timid about mak ing a new venture. I am like a mother who lias buried four or five of ber ba bies and has only one left. Each time the baby coughs or catches cold or has a fever the mother is almost beside herself with fear lest she might lose her only remaining child. It Is well enough for some people with bright eyes to anticipate the Joys of a coming year. But as for me, I have had so many misfortunes that I have only half a heart for toy struggle which Is ahead during the next twelve months.” My brother, I am not surprised at your timidity. It makes a great deal of difference how a m 'ii fools around machinery if he has lost mm arm or a j leg or a finger, as some i <• done b/ a perfectly matched team of heavy farm horses he always think they can outdraw and outpull all other teams in the country. It is not uncommon at the county fairs to have these trials of strength tested. A great load will be piled upon a sled at the bottom of a hill. Then the team will be hitched up. The farmer will take the reins firmly in his hands and cry, “Get up!” If the horses pull together evenly and steadi ly in all probability the sled will move over the hard, bare ground as if the runners were slipping over the winter’s snow. But if one horse Jerks at his traces one moment and then balks when his mate is pullipg it is im possible to move the heavy load. The great difficulty with your business and professional life may be that you are not “equally yoked” with your associ ates. You may Lave pulled while they were balking, and they may be pulling while you are balking. But did you ever stop to* think that perhaps your lack of faith iu yourself may be tbe chief reason why they have no faith in you and why they do not work in harmony with you? Faith la Needed. Luck of faith iu our own work will kill absolutely any faith others may have iu our ultimate success. The old proverb sujs, “Ruts will leave a sink ing ship.” All our friends and associ ates will leave us us quickly as they can if they ouce get into their minds the thought that we ourselves feel that we are certainly doomed to failure. A man who is always anticipating fail ure and taking a gloomy view of the future not only works half heartediy himself, but depresses his associates. What church would wish to listen to a minister who had no hope of the ulti mate triumph of the gospel? If he were to preach week after week ser mons the keynote of which was that man Is a failure, the church a failure, Christ for the most of us a failure and the world is goiug to the dogs, would any one waul to listen to such ser mons? Would any one continue to work for the upbuilding of the grand old church of Christ, which has had such a mighty inlltieuce for good in the past and is having such a mighty Influ ence for good In the present and will have such a mighty Influence for good in tbe future? No, of course you would not You would • — to yourself: “Well, more you do for some people the less those people seem to be willing to do for themselves. I do not want to lead a purely selfish life, but I do not In tend to be bled for nothing.” The de sire not to throw away our good works Is rational. When we plant seed we certainly want to reap the harvest. There are many discouragements in philanthropic labors. Tbe wife of a prominent New York millionaire once said to my mother: “Mrs. Talmage, I do not like to do a deed of Christian philanthropy with any one. When 1 do it I never want any one to know who is doing it. If $500 is necessary to be raised and 1 give $499, leaving it to some one ei.se to give at least the other dollar, there is no surprise. The only surprise expressed is that I did not give the $500 instead of the $499. The more you do for some people the less they try to do for themselves.” This is unquestionably true, but, though some seed sown in Christian philan thropy seems to be thrown away, that does not prove that the seed planting is not worth all the labor it costs us. What would you think of a farmer who should say to you, “I will not plant a kernel of corn unless I am pos itively sure that from this kernel will grow a stubbie of corn, or a graiu of wheat, barley or buckwheat unless from tiiis very seed I shall get my thirty or sixty or a hundredfold re turn?” Why, you would laugh such a farmer to him: “You do not know the first A B 0 of agriculture. A planter can afford to lose a thousand seeds if he can get a harvest from the remaining seeds he plants.” Yet all through^jLfe you can find men who estimate their successes and failures not by tbe glorious re turns they receive from a few good seeds well planted in good ground, but by the failure of the good seed which has inadvertently fallen in bad soil. Why Not Help Him f Why don’t you help that young man who has just landed in town and Is stranded? I grunt that he has been a wayward boy, that his life is not what it ought to be, but In spite of that, why don’t you help him? You know you can give him a position If you will. "Oh,” you answer, "what Is the use? I have tried to be a friend to young men In tbe past, but I am done now with turning iny business bouse into a Christian mission. I draw the line sharply between business and philan thropy. I do my Christian work in church, but not In my store. I run the latter on business principles. When u young man comes to me for work be Las to have good recommendations or I will not employ him. Why, sir, I have befriended four young men In the past! I even went so far as to try to send one of those young mon through college because he was the son of au old chum of mine who is now dead. All four turned out badly. They were un grateful dogs at that! You cannot make something out of nothing.” A life of nothings, nothing worth From that first nothing ere Us birth To that last nothing under earth. Yes, I grant that your good seed In the case of these four young men may have been thrown away. But would It not be worth while to have four, five or even ten such good seed plantings amount to naught If only the eleventh “seed” took roof In some young man's heart and saved ♦♦♦ t one young man?

Like a skillful general, the United States government, guarding against surprise, has organ ized its weather bureau and planted outpost stations everywhere. All these stations are iu direct communication with eacli other and with Washington. Thus no sooner does a storm start out on its mission of destruction than the weather bureau lifts its signals of warning. The sailors run to cover, and fruit growers hold back their ship ments, and railroad officials get out their snow plows and anticipate the at tacks of the storm. So perfect is this system of signals that for the last ten years not a ship lias ever been lost upon the dangerous inland sea of Lake Michigan whose captains have heeded these storm signals. Millions and bil lions of dollars’ worth of property have been saved both on land and sea. The SIkum of the Times. What the superintendent of tbe weather bureau can do in reading the positions of the atmospheric storm clouds the gospel meteorologist can do in telling us about the storm clouds of sin.

You would say to, g | aver y all j cruelty and inhumanity are being gradually suppressed. The world is coming more and more under tbe Influence of tbe principles of Christ. It is a slow process, but the general trend is in the right direction. Evil for thousands of years has had its sway. We must not expect it to be easily or quickly dislodged. But the good time is coming. Only do not let us who live in Christian lands lose heart or hope. We have the promise of victor}’; we see the sky growing rosy with the coming dawn. L^t us work on iu faith and pat’ence. Ch. my brother, think not this New Year’s day opens a "dark day” for Christ. T'. ’nk not that your Ichors for the comm,' year will be thro * n away.

They were to him his meat and strength for everyday work. He quoted them to himself almost every day of his life. He quoted them to his wife and children hundreds, aye, thousands of times. If unj of us were discouraged or blue or cast down, his advice always was the same. Take courage. All will yet come out right. “He that observeth the wind shall not sow.” Shall not we on this New Year’s Sabbath press on with glorious antici pation for the gospel seed planting at hand, which will ultimately mean our harvest ahead? I pray God that this coming year may lx? the best of years to all of us, as it will surely be the last of earthly years to some of us. A happy, happy New Year!
