occupied until late in the spring, in manafae
turing crates and baskets.

A stranger came to the door,

The girls were delighted

A crowd OF our young people spent New
Years evening skating at Clendaniel's pond

which fioated on the evening air.

And now that the dear old vacation has
come and gone, and we have crossed the
threshold Of a new year, we trust that each
ard every one ask himself the question: Did
do the best 1 could in nineteen threse'
Was + OF any benefit to my feliowmener
The roller looks over his last year work and
is not satisfied with the harvest ne has reaped
and plans his next years work striving to
avoid the errors Of the past that he might
reap a richer harvest. If the toier WHO en-
deayOred to do his duty in the past year finds
it necessary to do better work in the coming
year, how much more necessary for him to
make better paas for 1904, who in the prime
Of his manhood, has been srtudiu- lis ,lua
In various idle amusements, such as his
evenings in the pOol-roOms, making idle jests,
playing cards and drinking wine You try 10
reason with yourselves that boys mus have
some amusements, and there isn't any harm
in cards and pool, but my friends think again:
Am building n stronger character for my
SELF when night after d CHS / somehow wan
der to that place where the crowd gathers jr |
Idle amusements? Satan will find work for
idle hands to do. Ask yourselves, is this /
place any help to me? Do hear a onversa- |
lion that helps to broaden my views oflife? ?
Or the time am spending here enabling me /
TO build strong character that 1 may be able |
10 overcome the temptations ofthe world?
think your own conscience Will tell you that |
It is only weakness of character that causes /
you to enter All friend, remember this is .
.he way gamblers begin, this is tn way /.
irunkards begin; and beware lest you are
ured on TO ruin. And so, at the beginning of |
a new year, let us shut out the lempters /
voice. "Come on, It isn't any harm " and |
urn over new Leaf and begin anew, and I |
am sure we shall all be better and happier nj |
he end of nineteen four. IDID.
