probably Influenced to this decision by
reason of the fact that too much contern-

future advancement. The man who lives
in the past makes no progress. Those
who keep their face toward the setting
sun do not receive the inspira ton that
comes to those who Behold the beauty
and glory Of the rising sun. Past attain

us with pride and self satisfaction and
deprive us of the ambition to go forward
to still greater deeds of sacrifice and
love. Past sins and failures are to be
forgotten. Many persons stunt their
present usefulness by Idly dwelling upon
the failures and mistakes of the past
They are gone, and gone forever. No
voice can call them back again. no cement

Let them forever be buried with the past

still for that is stagnatfon. Take a fresh
start at this the beginning of a new year
and century, and keep looking and NOV
