If 1907 is to be better than 1905.

If the year be better for you than the old one
has been three things you must do-and you can do
them:
First, you must believe in yourself. You can do
more than you think you and than you
before You were meant to be greater and better
than you are You can do some things that else
in the world can do You have splendid year before you
Secondly you must believe in those about YOU
They good deal than you think, but they are
also good deal better than you think They are
more ready help and ready do what fair and
right than you think II you believe them they will help
you and you help them.
Thirdly you must believe in God. Believe that He
loves you and will do everything that good for you you
are obedent Him. He knows what you need much better
than you do and He has much finer, grander plans
for you this next year than you have for your
self Believe in Him and let Him make you What He wants
you to be and you will be to have Happy New
Year.
