J T Frierson, Sec. 12-22-21 The Dateless Calendar of Eternity. Before this paper goes to press again another . year will have been inscribed upon the dateless calendar of Eternity?another milestone upon the great highway of time will have been passed. How thankful we all should feel that we have been spared to see the passing of another year and that things have been as well with us as they have . i been, for they could have been worse even with the most unfortunate of us. At these passings of the years what a sad, melancholy feeling comes into the hearts of many of us. We are reminded that we are silently but surely drifting upon the great expanse of the ocean of time as the years glide by. Soon we \ . shall hear the distant roar of the breakers beating ' upon the rock-bound shores, and our boat shall be crossing the bar, where in the final harbor we shall "meet our Pilot face to face". We oft have wondered how many people all over this great country go out alone into the silent night and there upon bended knees imagine they can hear the great bells of eternity ringing out the old and ringing in the new and then ask for wisdom to guide them midst the cares, ups and nvi/T fnmln rvP 4-V*a nnrvvAAnlr?ir?A1 ttaoi* Wo I UUVVilfi ctiiu LUiiiiuua Ui LI1C vsav/itiug jrtxu. tt v wonder!
