The article offers a New Year reflection urging girls to shed worries and hurry, to improve daily inner life, and to turn over a new leaf. It compares time to a fresh dollar bill, encourages confidence, humor, and kindness, and calls for brave, serene living in the coming year with attention to others and self-improvement.
Clinton Scallard writes in the Columbian Magazine about winter scenery and a hopeful start to the year. The poem paints frostbound shores, skating on ice, and a call to face what lies ahead with faith and a chorus of resilience.
The piece frames the new year as an unknown journey with uncertain duties burdens and battles. It centers on Jesus as the Way offering comfort and guidance, asserting Christ has prepared a path with his footprints visible at each step and a chosen place for every traveler. Rev. J. R. Miller is cited as the source.
The piece notes old beliefs linking January 25 weather to the year ahead, citing St. Paul’s day prognostications and commonly repeated verses. It mentions a medieval term dies Egyptiacus for an unlucky day and reflects on the aging trust in barometers and omens.
