notable editorial, givss some solid
food for thought in forming new
resolutions with the goth Century,
which began Tuesday morning
st IL N, - also did the New Year.
A New Year is IN exciting thing,
and We al honor il with more or lsss
flimsey vows. A new Century 10 .
wonderful thing, and we should pre-
pare our Century resolutions with
becoming solsmnity. The Journal
says:
Each Of you viii frame his resolu-
lions according 10 his chisf weakness
for our weakness aud not cur
strength regulates our vows 10 re-
form. With your personal vows of
reform we dare not intsrfsrs.
But We ask our readers 10 add 10
their other resolutions this one:
salute the New Century and 1
resolve to devote - much Of it a.
possible to Finding wisdom" I
shall strive to overcome my weakness,
and as an sntidots TO them all,
shall strive to Acquire knowledge.
Read, study, reflect. Adopt e.
your own Solomon's Proverb:
Happy is he that 1ndeth wisdom.
And the man that gstteth under
standing;
For the merchandise Of il 10 better
than silver;
And the gain thereof than fns
gold,
She 10 more precious than rubiss;
And al the things thou cAnst de-
sire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right
hand,
And in her left hand riches and
honor.
Her ways are ways of plsasantnsss,
And all her paths are peace.
As . nation we are ardently fol-
loving the advice, "Put money in
thy purse" OF ell resolutions, nine
tenths are based on belief in the i'm
pOrtAnce of money getting.
We have no quarrel with the mon
ey getters. Life here without enough
money is almost a. sad q thing e. is
the life with too much money.
But better than "monsy in thy
purse" whether you realized IL or
not, is knowledge in your head.
Get knowledge in your head, and
every year, day and hour of the open
ing century will be full of meaning
and of satisfaction.
Get all the money Yen can get
honestly. Make a. many friends a.
you can among men and women.
Change Jour own temperament for
the better-if you can. (NapOlson
says you cannOt.)
But Whatever you do, make friends
of new facts and Of new books.
The hAppiest man il the man with
the best friends, and Of all friends
the best are books
They "Are the masters who instruct
Us without rods and ferules. If you
approach them they are not asleep; if
you mistake them they never grum-
bic; if you are ignorant, they cannot
laugh ut you"
So said . wise bishOp-RichArd de-
Bury-AlmOst six hundred years ago
Make up your mind to live a. fAr
into this century A. health and Jour
wisdom of life will let. And deter
mine aa your days pass to make th'
acquaintance Of ~ many new fActI
and books IS you oAn.
You will adjust your reading T.
