Excerpt from Christ and Progress: A Discussion of Problems of Our Time
SO the years in royal state went by; some crowned with shining gold; others with garlands of laurel that drooped and faded ere they passed from View; still others with the cypress of memorable griefs. And, watching this imposing cortege I quite forgot the near approach of Death, until the clock began the measured stroke of twelve. Farewell, Old Year!

Excerpt from Christ and Progress: A Discussion of Problems of Our Time
As I sat thinking, on New Year's Eve, the years seemed to go marching by with a regal air. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel lay open before me and I read, So David slept with his fathers and Solomon reigned in his stead - And Elah slept with his fathers and Zimri his son reigned in his stead - And Ahab slept with his fathers and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. - "Reigned" and "slept," - "reigned" and "slept." O, weary iteration! I saw a darkened room in the palace; men and women in courtly apparel watching at a death-bed; tears and whispers; then daybreak and the blast of silver trumpets: "The king is dead; long live the king!"
So the years in royal state went by; some crowned with shining gold; others with garlands of laurel that drooped and faded ere they passed from view; still others with the cypress of memorable griefs. And, watching this imposing cortege I quite forgot the near approach of Death, until the clock began the measured stroke of twelve. Farewell, Old Year!
Alack, our friend has gone;
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin,
Step from the corpse and let him in
That standeth there alone!
