BELLWOOD CHURCHES
Some people expected that the
present devastating war would drive
American people to their churches.
It has done nothing of the kind. Indeed church attendance has suffered losses. If the present situation
follows the couifse of church events
revealed in the last World War we
must expect that the churches are
In for an up hill struggle 'to conserve
their position. There is nothing ae
distracting aa war, not even a catastrophe. However, the * faithful are
deepened and sobered. For that
reason much should be made otf the
week' of ptrlayer at the beginning of
the new1 year. Opportunity should
be given to God's faithful people to
coma, together night after night for
specific prayer. Our1 need of grace
and wisdom ia very great. We must
pray for our nation, and goverrrmlent,
our men in service, our homes, ouit

LIFE'S PROMISE
An  editorisl' written by   C.    E.
Broughton, editor of the Sheboygan
i (Wis) Press for   New   Year's   day
I several years ago it baa   become   a
I newspaper classic. It ia aa follows:
We sre born and sojourn here
, for a time. A new year ia ushered
1 ia aad its spaa of life is rata. Asso-,
ciatiens are formed — beautiful
friendships, and then comes the
parting, the passing on, and the coming of the new. So it is with life.
We are born, and In the springtime
we plan and build for the future.
Then comes the summer of life,
when Kve are watching tbe beauty
that surrounds us and wondering if
the harvest will be ail that we hope
for: then the afternoon of life, or in
other words, the autumn, when our
fondest hopes are realized or shattered. We cannot go back and plant
anew; we must harvest (what we have
sown, and then by that harvest we
will be judged. And then comes the
evening of life or winter. |afien we
look back over aprof itable or unprofitable life, and review, just as we do
today, the things thst * have taken
place —the worthwhile and the failures. And by this record we will be
measured.
So this year ends just aa a Ufa'
ends A year seems short, a life is
short, and |we must crowd! a lot into
that life if we expect to leave for
posterity something that will make
the world a little better. If we are
going to leave behind pleasant memories, we must of necessity render
some service to humanity.
As the year is brought to a close
another takes its place, and .we go
on planning just aa vigorously as of
old. This gives us a besujtifu't
thought—that life does not end at
the grave. If all our hopes and ambitions were centered in one year
there wouDd be little in the way of
at of profit accruing
ifflu-wnrTrwWTBrV
if we lived with the idea that every-i
thiing was swallowed up in death,
that there {was nothing .beyond the
crave, no future, the whole thing
would be a sham.
THE CRUISE
Ready, about, and we're off   again,
On another leg of tills blind-lead
race,
To finish no one knows   where   or
when—
Nor cares o'er much in the   present case.
No backward glance at    the   might-
have-been,
Nor vain    regrets    nor   haunting
fear
That the course we lay   is   beyond
our  ken—
We're squared away for    another
year.
We do not know what is dead ahead
~   (And 'tis best for us that we   do
not know),
Or if we are leading or   being   led,
Or good or ill in the   winds   that
blow.
Perhaps in    another way    we'd    go
If we shaped our course    with    a
vision   clear;
'Tis a sporting    chance—and    we'd
have it so—
We're squared away for    another
year.
L'ENVOI
All   snug   and taut   as   we   come
abt-ut.
And a little bit of the   course   is
clear;
While the glim   holds   out   we   will
have no doubt—
We're squared away for   another
year.
