| "The Old Gray""! ft ^ I?? By ~ x"~t | Rev. E. Philip Ellis | A New Year's Resolution There are any number of people who denounced such resolutions as the above and severely, criticise persons who believe > n making them. In nearly every case people -who are inclined to scorn f the idea of new determinations yearly belong to that class who seemingly have not made their first resolution when it comes to. . doing right. Now what's wrong on the part of a sinner who will resolve to give his life to Jesus in 1939? What's wrong in- a Christian resolving to grow stron ger in grace this new J ear. .Can the ball lady be condemned for resolving this year to seek a high er form of social amusements? What'* wrong with u new year's resolution? Some take the position that such resolutions Hont' last. Well possibly they don't in ***csspiS Rut T know any number | of case* where. they do last. And ??in those cases where they were short lived, the individuals were better during that period - than they were before. Fo, instance, should some of these liquor drink ers would resolve to cut out their -a-- liquor beginning with this new year, it would be a capital resolu tion. Suppose it, was broken dur- ' ing the year. You will have to agree that the months it lasted, they were respecful citizens. The neighbors enjoyed peace- during those months, and their families werebetter supported?during?the life of the resolution. The joy and home comforts to them were far better than had there been no resolutions made, There are some Negroes amopg us who haven't any sense to spare when they are sober. And when they get full of liquor they need to be put under the asylum for , they are too crazy to gq in. New and Uld Ministers Continued " Dr. C. C. Reynolds of the great Centenary M. E.
