New Year Reflections on Christianity and American Hope
In a 1923 New Year meditation, the author contemplates the beauty of the Rocky Mountain night sky and the passing of the Old Year. He argues Christianity offers a moral remedy for global ills, urges reform of human nature, and cites George Washington's Thanksgiving practice as foundational to a Christian nation seeking peace, justice, and prosperity. He notes the rise of Christian Business Men clubs shaping practical faith in commerce.
