We would nave power in 1908 20 brighten
Each lot less blessed and fair than ours;
The woe to heal and the load to tighten,
The waste soul garden to plant with flowers.
In theory, the exchange OF New
Year calls and Christmas gifts is a
beautiful custom. The holidays
is a time when kindly feelings and
UNIVERSAL good. will prompt a gen.
eral manifestation OF regard in the
exchange of calls and presents.
1t is the friendship expressed in
the act that is valued. The cause
and not the effect occasions the
pleasure. All look forward to the
happy holiday times when each is
gIaddened, and, in turn, makes
others glad by tokens OF honest
regard and friendly feeling. The
world fairly beams with good cheer.
The youth who starts out in life
with an earnest determination to
be honest, upright, faithful to all
trusts, punctual, attentive, and
above all, God-fearing, has
promise of abundant success.
Though he be without money, or
wealthy friends, he will be sure
to gain all that he most desires
and make success of life. Start
today,
In starting out upon the journey
OF a new year an excellent maxim
is that which counsels US never to
put our hands to anything into
which we cannot throw our whole
energies harnessed with the very
best OF our endeavors. Persever-
ance is essential to success, since
it is often achieved only through
succession of failures. In spite
of our best efforts, failures are in
store for the majority of the race.
1t remains, then, for US al! to DO
the best we can under all circum-
stances, bearing in mind thatraces
are not always won by the swittest
feet nor triumph in battle secured
by the strongest arms. 1t is not
so much the possession OF swift
ness or strength as it is the right
application OF them by which sue.

May every day he u royal possession

Aud every hour in its swift progression
Make lille more worthy than when 1t came.
Renewed feelings of ambition
are synonymous with the opening
of the New Year. More resolu.
tions are made than at any other
time, and as often are they alas!
broken. But with some the reso-
utlons made with the dawn OF a
new year have been carried through
to its close. Numerous lives OF
honor and achievement can be
traced to some determination OF
purpose made upon an occasion
such as the first day OF the year
affords for a fresh start in the
journey Of life. We all desire
success; the problem of life is its
winning. Every person carries in
his or her own hand the key that
unlocks either the door of success
or failure. The true key OF sue
cess is labor, and it requires a
strong, resolute will to turn it. 1t
is hard, earnest work, step by
step, that insures success, and
never was this truth more potent
than at the present time. Posi-
tions of trust and eminence are no
longer secured at a single leap.
Man and women have ceased to
succeed in hurry. The secret Of
many successful careers is the
thorough performance of what.
ever has been undertaken.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1907-12-26

At the beginning of glad New
Year it is we'll to remember that
some Of the best things in life can
be stored up only by the gener-
osity which gives, asking for
nothing again. Such are warm
affections, kind feelings, benev-
olent dispositions. Every service
willingly rendered, every help
gladly given, every effort to en-
courage the disheartened, TO teach
the ignorant, to lift the fallen, not
only perform their intended work
but even more surely react upon
the doer; they may or may not
bring him the love, respect and
gratitude of those he befriends.
but they will infallibly bring
brightness and sweetness into his
own heart, increasing his desire
and Strengthening his power to dc
