self be hindered by the certainty that
your resolutions Of Jan. l will have

to have an inordinate self conceit, and
an inordinate self conceit is ruin.
Nevertheless it will do you good to
make the usual batch Of brave re-
solves with the beginning OF the new
year. The entire universe is held to-
gether by it's habit of falling. All
progress in the world is held together
by series of falls. Walking. running,

A New Year Sermon.

"A
There can be only one way to have
a happy New Year. and this by doing
good. l have often seen this recipe for
happiness: take a lot of good nature,
plenty Of fun, mix we'll together, then
once in awhile add sweet. sunny
smile. 1t will make sunshine in the
gloomiest weather."
This Is very much like telling a man
who wants fountain in his front
yard to build a reservoir, fill it with
water and make the proper connection
with his fountain. This will do as
long as the supply Of water in the res
ervoir lasts, but what will become of
the fountain when the reservoir is emp
ty? To have fountain one must have
an inexhaustible source Of water sup
ply So long as one has good nature
and sunny smiles lie may be happy,
but what will he do when these things
give out, as they are sure to do sooner
or later? TO be continually happy one
must have an inexhaustibIe source of
supply, and that can best be kept up
by continually trying to help other
people.-William Writ King, .. D., st.
Louis.
