of families. 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.
The farmers have a great deal of pride

of their business. After awhile their
employees and business associates lose
faith in their business prospects and j
they do not work as they ought.

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.

reminiscences of the past and cheerful
wishes for the future make the day a
joyous and hopeful one, 1 come to you
tills New Year Sabbatli day. 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?

no! Tbe reports of tbe gospel meteorol
ogists do not bear out your theories.
Meteorology is as rational a science
as chemistry, geology, biology, physics
or any other science. 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. What is it we learn from these
Christian meteorological reports? From
one and another heathen laud comes
the story of people turning from idols
to serve the living God. Everywhere
scorn. 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. Push on in
faith and '.one. Drive up. Look up. in
the name of Jesus. Plant in God's
name; pi nt *or Jesus Christ!
No Ne\' Year’s greeting from me
could be vo’cod in more inspiring lan
guage tha 1 1 that of my text. These
eight won'.; have for me a loving re
membrance. If any one shoidd ask me
what was n v father’s favorite passage
of Scripture, without, a moment’s hesi
tation I would answer, Ecclesiastes
xi, 4, “He that observeth the wind
shall not sow." 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!
