I
do not advise that we end the year on a somber note. The march, not the dirge,
has ever been the music of Christianity. If we are good students in the school
of life, there is much that the years have to teach us. But the Christian is more
than a student, more than a philosopher. He is a believer, and the object of
his faith makes the difference, the mighty difference. Of all persons the
Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has
dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies
that other men must face alone and unprepared. He can face his tomorrow
cheerful and unafraid because yesterday he turned his feet into the ways of
peace and today he lives in God. The man who has made God his dwelling place
will always have a safe habitation.
