ATHLETE‘S SELFâ€"CONTROL One of the fine features of athletic :flons is the tendency they have to develop e power of selfâ€"control. One someâ€" times wonder, in watching a hum game, as to how those players develop this power so finly in this exciting .scene. They show calmness and confidence in a high degree. The crowd is shouting and some fans may be expressing their ideas in a loud manner.

We are apt to think on New Year‘s Eve that Old Man Time pauses in his headlong pace before starting out on Another journey, or that he gives E‘“e to a bright and eager youngster who nows nothing of the past and steps out into the future with a smile.

We meaâ€" sure time by cyclesâ€"a day is one of the earth‘s orbit around the sun. We set our clocks and calendars by these cycles for our own convenience; but what we call the end of a year is an artificial measurement, for the New Year might as well begin in June as in January, so far as the cycle of the earth is concerned. > s & Mathematical scientists tell us that our idea of time is an illusion. In 1887, A. A. Michelson, an American physicist, conducted experiments to measure the velocity with which the earth moves through the vear. From these experiments he came to the aâ€" mazing conclusion that the earth did not move at allâ€"that it was stationary! That, of course, was the belief of the ancients, who thought the earth was the centre of the uniâ€" verse. While no flaw could be found in Michâ€" elson‘s mathematical deduction that the earth was stationary. this was known to be imnosâ€" gible. The result was a mystery to the matheâ€" maticians until Einstein expounded his theory of relativity (snaceâ€"time) in 1905â€" but that theory is a still deeper mystery. The deeper we probe, the more mysterious the universe and life itself becomes, because the finite human mind is incarable of grasping nltirtn:te truth. Keats realized this when he wrote: After all our explorations into the unâ€" known we must return to our base. Baffled by the mystery of things, Job exclaimed, ‘"Whence then cometh Wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?" And he conâ€" cluded: "Behold the fear (reverence) of the Lord, that is wisdom : and to depart from evil is understanding." That is a rood motto for the New Yearâ€"not only for individuals but for nations, and if it were observed there would be no more wars. Here‘s wishing the world a Warless New Year!
