We are not arguing that reform
can be made SO complete, 50 as to
control the capital Of grasping

possibilities Of trusts, thereby es.

frequent as monetary stringencies.
And furthermore, while it may
be true that social evolution will
bring about cosmopolitan trusts,
still as this is but speculation
based upon insufficient data, we
can safely leave this feature to the
generation which would in such

place to a new one the year 1887
becomes thing Of the past, and 1888
takes its place in the living present.
Let us look back for moment and
see what we have accomplished. Of
one thing we are certain, while an
other year has been added to the age
of this old world of ours, it has
added another year to the brief span
of our earthly existence, and that we
are one year nearer the end of our
earthly existence, one'year nearer the
end of our earthly life, and that we
have one year less to develop the
powers and faculties which wise and
beneficient Creator has given us. One
year less in which to fit ourselves for
that purer, higher and nobler life to
which we hope to attain. During
this new year let us turn over a new
leaf in the book of our everyday
life; let us cherish friendly feelings
for our fellow-man. And that this
year may bring each one of us happi-
ness and joy. MARY.
