Possibilities
Of The Future
BY Rev. NezOeN DsVigIt Hills

Memory gives us the past, and work
uses the present, but our real life is
in the future. Three hundred and six
Ity-five golden days lying before us.
Think of it. One hour sufficed for
Burns to baptize daisy with immor-
itality. One hour was enough for
Wordsworth's Ode to Duty. One even
,ing sufficed for Whitney to sketch his
cotton gin. One winters night gave
the hours of Jefferson to take from
the Gospels his scheme of ideal
ethics.
For the youth the first duty is to
grow. Growth means planning; plan
ming means something definite;
definiteness appoints certain duties
for each hour.
Every day next year read one page
or poem; every day meet one man
greater than yourself. from whom you
can learn, and help one less than
yourself. Every day do some one
istroke of good work that will stand,
land cross one threshold to carry sun
shine with you. Every day plan to do
some one thing that will help men,
mot hurt them; make men, and not
mar them.
You can so order your life as to
grow in health and in enjoyment of
Gods out-ofdoor world. You can
grow new friendships. and keep the
lold ones in good repair. You can so
lchoose the music, the great paintings
that you see, and the architecture that
you study. as that music. and elo-
lquence, and art and worship will en-
rich your life. You can make your
daily work. however humble it be, to
take on the culture of a full college
course.
No matter how old you are, or how
much you have done for society. you
lean open new burrows and SOW new
harvests of happiness for generations
las yet unborn.
Are you young? Take Paul's ideal:
Whatsoever things are honest, what
soever things tire true, whatsoever
things are lovely. whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are of
good report-think on these things"
Are you old, with all your life be-
hind you? Remember Gladstone. who
In his dying weeks wanted to do one
more good deed. and translated
Horace. Remember Tennyson. who in
his last moments tried to write one
more song. Remember that English
hero who went out and planted just
one more tree on the day that he died.
Remember that SCARED apostle who
had sown the world with happi-
ness, but whose dying word was: Il
will forget the victories and the
glories of yesterday; write one more
golden page, stretching my hands out
unto the things that are before"
This will turn the new year into a
great opportunity. This will crowd
all the days with duties and delights.
Life will be worth the living Work
will bring rich reward.

Public School Notes.

Visitors to the city schools on Friday
went away almost persuaded that they
had made a mistake in their dates, so
clearly had it been pr, seated to them
that the Christmas time had come again.
Most Of the rooms had prepared pro-
grams in which the Stocking, Christ.
mas Bells" ana Santa Claus occupied
large places. Supt. Swaggart. Mrs.
Maischoss and the teachers OF the grades
had furnished each child above the first
grade with cards which were colored by
the pupils receiving them and taken,
home as Christmas souvenirs from the
school. Three OF the primary teachers,
Miss Miller, Miss Lewis and Miss Nc
Leod gave program together and af-
terward provided treat for all OF their
pupils. 1t was interesting indeed to see
the one hundred little tots standing so
quietly by the long tables eating their
ices and cakes. One little ono with the
true Christmas spirit wanted to put the
ice cream in his pocket and share it with
his mother.
The fifth and sixth grades united in
program Of recitations and songs. Mrs..
Maischoss' room gave an interesting pro-.
gram in.whch original work was given q
prominent place. A number Of the
stories proved very interesting and good

The Result Of Observation.
"Did your husband make any New
Year resolutions?
81 hope not" answered young Mrs.
Torkins. II have about come to the
conclusions that New Year resolutions
merely fret a mans conscience and
make him irritable without doing any
real good"

''Never again." he sighed. II shall

"Oh. yes. you WILL" rejolned the

BAD CROP YEARS.

When Birds and Animals Do Not
Nate at the Mating Season.
when birds and animals do not
mate at the mating season, it is a sign
that bad year is coming" said a farm
err
"Quails, gophers, rabbits and squir-
rels all refuse to mate in certain
years. These years afterward turn
out to be bad ones. The quails are
particularly weather wise. By instinct
the little wild creatures know that for
lack Of rain or for some other reason
there is to be a grass famine and a
seed famine, and, instead of pairing off
and mating and setting up housekeep-
ing in little families of two, they re-
main minated in the large bands in
which they have flown all winter, liv-
ing, as it were, a kind of apartment
house life. That year inevitably turns
out bad one, though the bachelor and
spinster quails, with a good deal Of
picking and scratching manage to get
enough to eat. But to feed families Of
little ones in such famine year would
be impossible.
I'm California the squirrels in fam
inc year not only do not mate; they do
not even live. They become dormant
AS by a miracle, they remain dormant
until season Of plenty comes with
the next winters rains."-Exchange.

NAPOLECN'S ACCOUNT BOOK

Some Entries Made During His Exile
at st. Helena.
There was recently sold in London
the last book of accounts of Napoleon
at st. Helena, from 1918 to 1921. The
expenses are classified by month and
were kept by Pierron, the ex -emperor's
maitre d'hotel, with entries by Mont
holon.
There are many corrections in pencil
BY the august exile himself, for he
verified all the accounts and changed
English money, where it was used, into
francs. Some Of the entries are highly
interesting. Thus. on Aug. Is, 1919.

heavily on his hands, Napoleon went
