They are not taken as seriously as their importance would warrant. In fact. they are treated in a. jesting way. Some- thing happens to ‘item very quickly. They seem to peter out before the first month elapses. No doubt they were made seriously. but they lack strength or perseverance. They come to nothing. Now, it is good to make resolves. Life would be a poor thing with- out them. The reason for their instability and failure is not in the making of them or in the motive behind them, for those who make them sincerely desire» to do bet- ter. There is another explanation for their weakness, one that tells us completely why resolutions fall. It. is because they do not fit in with tho general scheme of life; they do not harmonize with their surroundings. The best illustration of this theory was given by the Master. He said: "No one sews a new piece of cloth on an old gar- ment," because the strength of the new patch would tear the old cloth and the rent would be made worse. How sensible that is! The sur- rounding is not strong enough for the fresh bit of cloth. Herein is the explanation for the failure of New Year resolutions. Th not harmonize with their surroundings. The general pu ose of life is too weak to sup- por the strong, sturd resolution. What is needed chiefy is a new life to correspond ‘with the new resolution. There 1s gxeat value in the fresh vow, but it is too fie for the old environment. We rccal the other parable of the Master on this some subiect. He said: “No man putteth new Wine into old wine-skins." because when the wine ferments it will split open the dried skins am both wine and container will be lost. New wine must be because hey are capable of stretching and thus accommodat- ing the fermenting wine. That tells the wthole story of the failure of resolutions. They have too much power for the old life. It is really not the resolution that fails, but the life into which li has been set. ‘There are countless examples, o1 this fact. Here is a life which has been generally untruthful. At New Year, a vow is registered to tell the truth in the coming year 'I‘he patch is put on the old gar- ment, the wine is poured into the nld skin-what- chancc has it? Amout as much as a snowball in the Gulf Stream! There is no sympathy bwween the old and the new. They do not belong together. The upshot. of the whole matter is that a new life is needed for new resolutions. And whgit better time is there for the change of life's general purpose than at the New Year? The best resolution is to bring the whole of life under the control of one Master. of l-llm who said, "Behold, I make all things new." 111w. nonMAn-‘uawsox If the 1e of “Ontario want anything my enough they'll get ut into new wine-skim J so vorvi: not 1 com Do you put. up a "No Smoking” sign every gin” you have a cold?

If they are more mtercstcd in clean, happy homes and safe high- ways. than in their political party, they'll get them. As far as the two major political parties are con- cerned there is no choice between ‘ohenn so far as the liquor laws are concerned. If Mr. Hepburn had not given the people beverage rooms. Mr. Henry twould have. Our blackest day was the day when the drink problem was put into politics. As soon as it becomes so; a large part of the clergy are muzzled, and they are the spear- head of any reform movement. lncalcuiable harm has been clone to the temperance cause by mis- guided women who have given way to criticism of the vlczime of the traffic. We must love the drink- er, but hate the traffic. , The W C.T.U. has to live down and are living down, a pretutiice aroused by past efforts. but when temperance reform does come. it will be largely through the efforts of the W.C.T.U. The impression has gone abroad that the W.C.T.-U. stands tor narrowness and intolerance. This has to be lived down. when people see the White Rib- bon, may they know that it stands for all that is loving. kind, broad -but not so broad that its wear- ers have no principles at all. ,., On a. Saturday. night before Labor Day. in Vancouver. the speaker mingled with the crowd. It is not the vveakllug alone. but he finest of men thnt. are becom- victlms of the traffic a Saturday night the ltlebtl down town were crowded wth eople taking home their holiday llquor. Drinkin today .-s popuaer in all the prov cee. A visit to some d! the guolie houses in Toronto of the otter type recently, on a Saturday night, showed that over fifty pex cent. of the customers in the beverage rooms were women. Today drink- ing by women is considered "smart." The old bcotlegglng was on l. small scale. Today it is by the thousands of Bbllons. is recent discoveries in Hamilton show. ffho promise of "no more bootleggmg" has not been kept in any piece. scarcely any social functions can be held without liquor. and this social custom is creeping into our church members and our church offlcials’ homes.
