BORN TO FAILURE

The old year is done. The books
are closed. Tomorrow the new year
begins. New books will be opened.
Some people are flushed with success;
others are crushed with failure. Some
people always have success. Bad
luck never passes their door, Others
never have success. Bad luck hovers
over their pathway. ready to pounce
upon them at every turn of the road.
They we're born to failure. Their
was in the wrong sign OF the
moon. They blame it on their stars, =
and we think they are right, Their
way is blocked by fatality. Their best
efforts are paralyzed by i'll luck. Any
disease in the community, they take it,
Any hailstorm in the country, they are
in its path. Any cholera among the
the hogs, theirs are sure to have it.
Any accident happens, they are always
injured. They are magnetic people.
But everything they attract, creates
disturbance. With many people, bad
luck may be overcome. Obstacles may
be surmounted; difficulties may be
conquered But for those who come
into the world when the 'stars fly
downward" there is no promise. No
help for their failure, no remedy for
their misfortune.

THE GLAD NEW YEAR

This is the last day of 1908. The
old year will soon have passed away
forever. It's joys and sorrows, its
successes and failures will will be but
q memory. The midnight bells will
ring in the new year. With the rising
of to.morrow's sun it will be in full
charge of the embattling hosts Of all
the world. The old year marks per-
Torrance, the new year, promise. The
old year suggests regret, the new year,
resolution and determination. For
some the old year may mean the loss
of position, power or possession. And
the outlook for the new may promise
little better. But hope and faith, who
are messengers of good tididgs to the
human race, bring courage and deter
mination to persevere and overcome
the disappointment and the obstacles
in the pathway of life. Blessed are
those who can greet the morrow as the
beginning of ''Glad New Year."
