In the more reâ€" confusion of ideas. At any rate they bring with them the priceless treasures of popular lore including mote parts of the empire many farmers and vilhsen still clinqmto the old method of reckoning time which was in effect before the Gregorian calendar was introduced and as a result some still celebrate New Year‘s sometime in February. Japanese babies who have been born during the previous year beâ€" come, it is interesting to note, one year older at New Year‘s. As they are considered to be one year old when they are born some tiny inâ€" fants have stgen the light only a day or so befere they become two years old ofldl:by Among mflz’ all peoples, it would seem the idea of starting life anew with the New Year is someâ€" how connected with the observance of the event. So we make our reâ€" solutions to do better than before, but how feeble, as a rule, are our efforts to keep them throughout the year. As a matter of fact we too often regard New Year‘s resoluâ€" tions somewhat in the lifht of a joke rather than as moral obligaâ€" tions to wipe the slate clean and start anew in real earnest. New Year‘s Day is surely a most approâ€" priate time. Every first of January that we arrive at is an imaginary milestone on the turnpike track of human life; at once a restingâ€" place for thought and meditatoin and a starting point for fresh exerâ€" tion in the performance of our journey. The man who does not at lcutthr.rop-e to himself to be better year than he was last year must be either very good or very bad indeed. And only to reâ€" solve or propose to be better is ’somethin(, if nothing else it is an acknowledgment of our need to be so which is always the first step toward amendment. If we propose to do well we will in some sort do well for there is no such thing as a stationary point in human enâ€" deavour for he who is not worse toâ€"day than he was yesterday, is better, and he who is not better is worse, wrote the sages.
