The Closing of Another Year.

.
you life this year been such that
the world has been made better for
your having lived in it? Have
your deeds been of a character that
elevate rather than degrade? Has
your life been one of selfishness. or
have you had a genuine and gener-
GUS concern for your fellowmen?
Have You scattered flowers along
the way, or have you left thorns
to wound your loved one
If you have made the world bet
ter. if your deeds are good ones, If
you have given your brother help
| ing hand, and have scattered flow
ers in the way, you do not wish to
disturb the pages Oh which your
| life is written, but should they read
that yours has been a selfish, de-
grading and useless life you will
want these pages blotted out.
But they must stand, unaltered as
long as time shall last.
1t is well we think over what is
past. and now is the most appro-
pirate time for reflection. Ii we
are honest with ourselves. all, no
doubt, will see wherin We could
have made a more excelIentrecord,
one that wonld haye sporkled more
aloriously with good deeds. There
are many things that will crowd
into our minds that will stand out
proximity and roproacb US. 1t Is
RIGHT we should feel this reproach
kcanly, but to simply feel it and
have no desire spring mp in onr
hearts to correct the wrong ifpossi-
bic, is to make orr lives miserable
and gain nothing therby.
As It is a time for looking back
ward it is also an appropriate time
to take glance into the future, a
time for making amends.
IF you are brooding over past
failures this, the holiday season is
the time to dispell that gloom by
making someone about you happy.
If YOU let this, the season Of 10Y
on earth, peace, good viii toward
men" pass without bringing joy
and gladness into some lonely life
then your case IS rather a hopeless
one. and no benefit have YOU re-
ceivea from the glad and happy
time.
If YOU have wife, YOU love her
Of course. but don't let it be taken
for granted for such an indefinite
nori9d renew vour vow to her at
this holiday time by loving re-
membrance.

her problem was alreody half
solved.
She had been a member of her
uncle's household for only one
week and already she felt the
moderation of her position.
Recently left alone and de.
pendent upon the hospitality of
relatives, she had accepted her
uncle's invitation temporarily
until she could find some means
of supporting herself. Her
proud spirit chafed at the mere
thought of dependence, and she
would consent to no other ar.
rangement.
In the small town where her
uncle's family shone as leading
lights the advent of Emily caus-
ed a stir.
The Barrett girls-her cous-
ins-had held the indisputable
title to being the prettiest and
most popular of the city's bellies.
Emily's coming diverted the
interest most decidedly. She
possessed a distinction of per
sonality quite rare in the com.
munity. Coming from an East.

and a style tantaliziDgly diff.

in her heart, after an exceed.

That afternoon she heard a
conversation between her aunt
and a caller-Mrs. Trnesdale.
