The sermon in Grace church by
the pastor on Christmas day was
heard by large congregation.
Let one Of your New Year resolu-
tions be that you never pass cripple
Or blind man that you do not lift your
heart in thankfulness that you have
sound limbs and eyes and can see and
give helping hand.
Get in the habit Of looking for sun
shine and fragrance. Remember you
usually find just what you are
looking for. Above all, be an optimist.
Look for pleasant things and you
will find them close at hand. Remem-
ber the way to be happy is to make
some one else happy. Live to make
the world brighter and happier by
having lived in it. Give refreshing
cups and bouquets to the dusty pill
grims along life's highway. Let all
Of us look up and do all the good we
can durng the year 1907. Let it be
! the best year Of our lives. H..

eta etao S N. m" Well we sup
pose this is Greek, but we do most
earnestly insist that We do not per-
petrate any such outrage on Greek
or greece or what not, and we Will
have to attribute this slip to the
"Masheen" man. We cannot assume
this responsibility, even if it is Christ
mas. .
Observation-Disclosures
In the New Year it is so customary
to give advice. Everybody knows how
work should be DONE Did you ever
stop to think how easy.it is to find
fault and give advice to the other
fellow? Did you ever stop to think
that it was your business to take your
own advice. Get out of the hablt OF
finding fault and take your<awn ad-
vice. Put up your title hammer.
