minds Of many people. Shame upon
the man or woman who would dull the
bright ambitions and desires for the
better Of any human being But
there is little time to give to habitual
mourners and augurs of evil The
new year will be what we make it.,
so far as our Individual lives are con-
cerned, and the man or woman who
resolves to be happy in healthful,
unselfish way, is taking the first road
toward happiness.
We are all after happiness, in one
way or another. Even the recluse.
even the martyrs Of old, were on the
endless search for happiness, though
the JOY of heaven rather than that
Of earth was the goal fixed upon in
the eyes of those who sacrificed the
present for the future. Eternal hap.
piness was what they desired.
Unseltish happiness is always wait
Ing, right around the corner if we will
only take our eyes off the far distance
and look nearer home. The resolve
to make next year a happy one for
those nearest us will bring good deal
Of real joy and satisfaction to the
maker Of the resolution, If he holds
out well.
Silent resolve is a good thing, too.
Sometimes ones enthusiasm evapo.
rates when it is much spoken of. But
don't let US allow the enemies of the
race of man to discourage us in max
ing good resolutions; and then don't
let us fail to keep those that we make
to the best Of our ability.
There is room for improvement In
all Of us, and when we have acknowl.
edged that, and set ourselves to i'm.
prove, why, we are on the nearest
road to success and happiness.
