Very often new resolutions and rules
are made at the beginning Of the year.
1t may be wise to annually resolve to do
better. We have observed, however, that
those who are continually making new
rules seldom enforce them for very long;
they are apt to tire and change them for
something that seems more feasible or
better suited to their purpose. Let us
entertain a constant resolve to do better,
to improve, and make more effectual and
more profitable the line of work we have
chosen. And now we wish you a happy
and prosperous New Year with The To
