You can thus cause these days to stand for something more than events past. You can make them gleam with truths worth while for the present. Some of these events noted in this chapter vary as to their dates in the several States and countries; this matter you can rearrange to fit your own State. Of course other festival days and special seasons will occur to you, and you can fit them into your schedule of events according to your liking. Some of the objects are very simple, but they may suggest others to you of greater importance. The Scripture reading for certain of the days will give you an opportunity to line up religious truths also with the event you are noting. Here is a partial list of some of the special seasons and holidays. =New Year's Day. January First= _The Forward Look Day_ would be a good name also for this day. Read Philippians 3:1-14. Use a blank book with the figures of the New Year on its cover. Explain that the New Year is like a blank book of 365 pages. What shall I write on its pages? Put a verse of Scripture on the top of each page. Live by its teachings and commit to memory each day's verse on its day. That will give you a clean page, not a blank one, but one written all over with God's truth. Each action of yours will be like a quill. It will write down the story of your life. You may also use a string of beads to illustrate that truth. Secure a piece of strong white thread, and call this the string of time. Place on this string one bead at a time, 365 in all; these beads you call the days of the year. Every seventh bead should be a large and unusual one which we will call the Sabbath Day. If that day is a common day of pleasure put a plain bead as the seventh bead. Instruct them to make every seventh bead the best of all the beads by keeping the day holy; it will be holy unto the Lord. =Snowflake Day. In January= Read as a Scripture lesson Job 37:1-14 or Psalm 147.
