Victory New Year, 1919

Dec 28, 2018

All New Years are special as they are embedded with thoughts of hopefulness and fresh starts, but I think the dawn of 1919 might have been particularly so: the themes of victory and peace following the Great War ring out in all the accounts of its celebration, which might also have been particularly joyous as it marked the last “liquid” New Year with the onset of Prohibition approaching. The New York Times proclaimed 1919 the “Victory New Year” and the Boston Globe bid adieu to a battle-scarred pirate-gladiator representing 1918. Probably the best image expressing contemporary hopes for the coming year was a seemingly-ubiquitous poster equating world peace, (lady) liberty and (American) prosperity produced by the United Cigar Stores Company: this theme is manifest in all of the accounts of New Year celebrations and forecasts which I sampled, and most mentions of Prohibition were below the fold!

REFLECTION FOR LENT

May the door of my inner home be wide enough

to receive those who are hungry for kindness,

those who are lonely, or isolated from friendship.

May it welcome those who have cares to unburden,

and pain to express.

May the door of my heart be narrow enough

to shut out pettiness and pride, envy and enmity.

May the door of my heart be closed to harshness

and indifference.

May the threshold of my heart be for all who enter

the doorway to understanding, acceptance and compassion.
