Special Letter to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi. Dec. 3O.-And the
new year will be on its journey around
the world, and new promises of the
good things we will do for friend and
neighbor, while the new year swings
around the cycle of old Time, that was,
and is. and shall be until the appointed
hour set by the great Creator. But
what of our foes? Why wish them all
manner of good and let them go. There
are those that will tell us we should
have no foes. Others will say person is
not much of a man or woman either, ii
they have no enemies, and this may or
have decided opinions is pretty sure to
make an enemy of another man or
woman. who may be self-cOnceited and
Jealous of any one that receives more
attention from those higher in place or
power. And how is one to avoid max
ing an enemy of such people, who live
and never learn their own insignifi-
canoe. How are we to placate such
people? When person cannot see any
one receive the kindly attention of re-
spect from others without being
angered by it, that is just about the
time such people of jealousy are left to
themselves to learn to do better than try
to iniure those that try to live in
comfy with all the world. After thor
ough searching of our own hearts and
past conduct toward these cOnceited or
over-sensitive people, and finding no
lust cause for their dissatisfaction ON our
own part. let us drop them at once and
quietly leave them to themselves. The
time is too short for the work we have
to do to spend in trying to keep such
people ON their good behavior,
without any compensation on their
part. Who wants to spend half
their life in that way? Not
[: nor you, either. So let them pass
without comment, if we are conscious
off clean record toward them in the past.
We will begin the new year with firm
resolve to keep in the right road
while doing as we would be
done by, by our neighbor, friend
or foe. for it's our own ways
that we must answer for. We must not
forget that we live in time of progress
sion and an age of onward and upward
aggression. No other word will eX-
press the sentiments that are being
worked out by mankind in these days.
Every barrier to this movement will be
battered down by the forces that are as
sailing all opposition to the progressive
and aggressive army of men and women
that are trying to win a better and
higher life. for themselves and those
that are to follow in the cycling years
of futurity. And should we waste time
thus? Not at all. Let the dead bury the
dead past with such people. while we
Join the advancing throng in doing our
little part of uplifting humanity into
higher sphere of knowledge as well as
higher and purer life among the masses
of this world for time and eternity.
Let US ask the help of the men and
women of high life, of the men and
women in the middle walk. of those in
| the workshops of this nation. of those
| who are bound down in great and small
| cities, of the old and young on the broad
acres of the rolling prairies, where the
wild winds rage, and wherein seems
| but the one solitary home at night
under the glittering starry dome above
| the wide, wide landscape. Wherever
men and women dwell let the word go
| out to all humanity that there is work
| for all in the coming new year, and
| that work is to be done in their own
| hearts and homes: for it is there we can
| all add to the future happiness which
will be for the generations that will fol-
| low us when we are gone to our homes
in the unknown land.
