The new year has come. How many
OF us have already said, "From this time
forth l intend to lead different life?''
Why do we save our resolutions for the
new year? 1t is then that we want to
begin life anew but were it ours we
would 60 back to childhood and erase
the darkest places in our past lives. So
just now let us take our eraser and blot
out forever the wicked things we have
favored, and as we are trying to blot
them out let us so look at them that
they will help us to live through the
new year that when we reach the end
iot it we can lay the old eraser aside,
When we are enjoying the happiness Of
a Christian life then let us watch and
be on our guard lest the spoiler comes
and robs us of a virtuous and clean life
Many young men have already said, 81
will never tip another strong drink to
my lips" Now let us watch him, as we
know he is hoping and longing to alb.
stain from that which ruins character
and wrecks his life. Let us follow him
another step in life and as he comes in
contact with the spoiler there he i.
placed under the strongest temptation
he has been since his resolution. He
sees the ruby liquor as It moyeth itself
Alright, he stretches out his hand to re.
ceive it, his mind is in whirl, he seems
so far from God in this moment of temp.
tation-then as he is about to yield the
finger of God touches him and he is
mace stronger, and he renews his
strength and triumphs over satan. l.
not God and the angels proud of such
a strongecharacter? Now for the bene
fit OF the new converts in these meet
ings let us be like the young man-play
the part Of a hero-be strong, and don't
forget to look to God in the moment Of
temptation. He has said he would de-
liver us from sin. 1t is no sin to be
tempted but it is sin to yield tc
termination

ON ROOF
ENDED BY POLICE
Four Brothers on Machine Shop
Roof in a Row With Two
Armed Fishermen
Alleged Failure to Pay Bill
Brings Trouble and Steps Are
Taken to Prevent Tragedy

riot call was sent to the central
police station yesterday afternoon
about o'clock from Barletta Brothers
machine shop, 1851 Montgomery ave-
nue.. When Sergeant Christensen and
Policeman Edwards reached the shop
they found the four of the Barletta
brothers on the roof, one with a knife
in his hand, and Vito Dacquisto a fish
erman, facing them with a revol-
Yer, while Leonardo Dacquisto, his
brother, stood on the ground armed
with a long knife. Hostilities were
stopped as soon as the police appeared.
When the belligerents descended from
the roof John Barletta explained that
they had repaired a gas engine belong
ing to the Dacquisto brothers, who
refused TO pay the cost of the repairs.
Angry words followed and Vito Dac-
quisto pulled a revolver and Leonardo
drew a knife. Being unarmed the four
Barletta brothers climbed to the roof,
pursued by Vito, who is alleged to have
tried TO discharge the revolver several
times, but it was old and rusty and
failed to explode. John Barletta got
hold Of a knife on his way to the
roof and tried to keep Vito at bay,
while he shouted to some women, who
were screaming, to stop their noise and
get the police.
When Leonardo Dacquisto saw the
police coming he fled. A warrant will
be issued for his arrest. John Barletta
and Vito Dacquisto were arrested for
exhibiting a deadly weapon in a rude
and threatening manner. Fearing that
there will be a clash between the Bar
lettas and Dacquistos when they meet,
extra police precautions will be taken
TO prevent a tragedy.
