ET: “Days of good tidings.” IV. Old and New Year.

The foreword of Dagen van goede boodschap IV briefly explains why a volume about New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day has been added to the volumes of devotions about Christmas, Easter morning, and Pentecost. Kuyper argues that the conflicting thoughts that arise within us at the time of the New Year, when God’s voice frequently pierces our consciences, also require direction and interpretation.

The twenty-five unnumbered biblical-theological articles and devotions in this volume were reprinted from: (1) De Heraut, no. 108, January 4, 1880; (2, 24) De Heraut, no. 523, January 1, 1888; (3, 22) De Heraut, no. 419, January 3, 1886; (4, 18) De Heraut, no. 158, January 2, 1881; (5, 17) De Heraut, no. 210, January 1, 1882; (6, 19) De Heraut, no. 55, December 29, 1878; (7) Zondagsblad van De Standaard 4 (1875), no. 40, January 3, 1875; (8) Zondagsblad van De Standaard 5 (1876), no. 92, January 2, 1876; (9, 21) De Heraut, no. 4, December 28, 1877; (10, 16) De Heraut, no. 366, December 28, 1884; (11, 25) De Heraut, no. 262, December 31, 1882; (12, 15) De Heraut, no. 314, December 30, 1883; (13) De Standaard, Sunday edition, no. 40, December 29, 1872; (14, 23) De Heraut, no. 471, January 2, 1887; and (20) De Heraut, no. 5, January 4, 1878. The reprinted articles occasionally leave out a date or line from the original.

The first fifteen articles and devotions deal with New Year’s Eve and the next ten deal with New year’s Day.
