A HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR
to the readers of our column; indeed, may
it be the happiest year you ever 'knew".
Another blank book has been placed in
our keeping. Each night a leaf is turned !;
each day our words and deeds fill another
page. What shall the record be?
Were there hindrances and annoyances
last year that retarded your progress and
tried your spirit? Can you not make of
them stepping stones to higher things?
There are said to be two kinds of trouble
in this world: the trouble you can help
and theitrouble you can't help. If it can
be helped, take hold and help it; il it can
not be helped, adapt yourself to circum-
stances as they are. In the last line of
poetry quoted above, you will find the
best motto for the New Year that has yet
been ACKNOWLEDGMENT Alright, and then
adopt the doctrine of the perseverance of
the saints.
adapting ones self to circumstances
is not an easy task, though it makes ones
tasks much easier. l do not mean that
you should "adapt yourself to circum
stances" to the loss of your self respect or
at the expense of your principles, or the
deadening of conscience. There are many
plans laid in life that never come to ma
turity; the ideal is seldom realized; I'M
foreseen changes come into your lives.
Don't fight against fate and get worsted
in the struggle. Get into the habit of
making the best of it. In your school, in
your boarding house, in your store, in
business relations, even in your home,
always be conge-ial to your tastes. What
then? Make yourself as comfortab BILE in
your mind as you can. Remem Der, we
are dealing now with the things that can't
be helped.
So this year make the best of even the
of allowing them to fret and worry you.
know of housekeepers whose meals have
frequently to be delayed or kept waiting
for some important member of the fam
lily, necessarily delayed too, and while
these ladies wait they have bit OF work
use of that waiting time, while another
woman would be walking from window
to window, and wishing he would come,
so the work could be done.
Don't exhaust your strength warning
with the inevita BILE. But as these opening
days of 1899 find you with one more year s
experience, let the past help you to wiser
and better use of the time that remains to
you in the future. AUNT MADGE.
