An international Sunday School lesson discusses scripture from Joshua 23 and 24, highlighting themes from Joshua 23 2 and Joshua 24 4 18. The reading emphasizes guidance for faithfulness and commitment.
The essay argues that a nation’s fate depends on its people's choices in the atomic era. It contrasts Israel’s biblical democracy with modern idolatry, urging belief in the God of Abraham and warning against worship of success, money, opinion, liquor, sex, luck, and other idols. It frames Joshua’s call to choose whom to serve as a timeless prompt for the United States and Canada.
The article traces how the English New Year gift custom began under Henry III with gifts to the emperor and became a nationwide practice. It notes Queen Elizabeth used such gifts for jewels and wardrobes, nobles sent purses of gold, and the habit spread through Tudor and Stuart eras with gift giving among all classes, giving rise to the term pin money for ladies’ pins or gloves.
The text reflects on the passing of 1951 and how experiences, both sorrow and happiness, shape individuals. It compares the year to pieces of a pattern forming a complete picture of past experiences guiding us into the new year.
The piece traces changing New Year celebrations from home gatherings of singing hymns and calls to modern bustling city life. It notes watchnight traditions faded after the Civil War as cities grew and the tradition of paying calls declined. The shift moved New Year’s Eve toward one last fling before starting anew.
France and Germany welcome the New Year with revelry like the United States while larger cities adopt a carnival mood. Czechoslovakia and nearby nations honor the occasion with official receptions and pomp. Feasting, gift exchanges, and a lucky Greek cake tradition mark the season.
Portuguese sailors first called the Philippines Islands of the Orient after sailing east around Africa. Later Spaniards, traveling west around South America, referred to them as Islands of the West, showing how navigators used two different names for the same archipelago.
