GOOD RESOLUTION.
DEAR &C. AND LH.W.: We organized a
&C band here Dec. To- 1895. and have just
celebrated our anniversary in royal manner.
The old year is gone. and il has carried snch n
throng of shattered hopes and broken promises
with it that we hardly know whether wa have
improved any since this time last year or not.
We may make many promises. but unless our
hearts arc i'm the right place We will not make
much improvement in u year.
Let sus then, though we make no promises
improve each precious moment, and although
the close of the year 1897 may not ind US all
that we should be, we can go OH, still striving.
| never faltcring. knowing that only by step:
| the top Of the ladder is gained.
LET us make no boasts of doing.
| Promises vain and weak;
But always good and truth pursuing.
Actions and not words shall speak"
| I had almost forgotten to say that I have
made one New Year resolution in the way o
/ joining the ranks Of the L.H.W., aud will cx
| change letters and postals.
| Wishing you all happy New Year. am
