With that spirit shall we let the new year
in? I have already indicated that it is
to be one of the greatest years of all chron
ology. “Why?” you ask. “Have you any
forebodings or premonitions?” “No. Are
you expecting the millennium this year?
No! “Why, then say this about the coming
year?” For the simple reason that 1 find
as the years go by they become more and
more eventful- Compare the nineteenth
century with the eigtheenth century. Com
pare the first half of this century with the
last half. The surges of this ocean of time
are rolling higher and higher. The forces
of right and wrong are rapidly multiplying
and their struggles must be intensified.
It is a chronological fact that we are all
the time coining nearer the world’s Edeni
zation first and then to its incineration, to
its redemption and demolition- Anil so I
expect that 1893 will be a greater year than
1892. Its wedding bells will be merrier.
Its obsequies will be saxlder- Its scientific
discoveries more brilliant- Its prosperities
more significant- Its opening more grand.
