80 II your look back shows you mis-
takes and errors and misbeliefs be
glad that the New Year gives you a
clean slate to try for the right road
and the true goal
Be thankful for the mental perspec-
tive when you see it with clear sight
with new true eyes
There Is no need of making resolu-
tons, for right seeing means right
thinking and right thinking Is the
path to right living
Perhaps your faults are those mean
little ones which you would like 10
exchange in bunch for one noble sin,
put there are no exchanges of that sort
or We should all be noble sinners,
The petty faults are the thorns that
cluster round some of the finest roses
IN LIES big garden, Crowding, Earring,
overlapping one another in their eager
ness TO get to the light.
Maybe. the old year has been a good
friend III some special instances that
you can recall
Perhaps it brought you back with
a short, sharp shock from a too AFRO
CANT happiness or an oyerconfident sue
cess
Be glad of that jar, even though it
kept you stirred up for awhile
Perhaps the past IL months have
healed some breach or brought some
ship home, the white sails of which
you have been watching wistfully for
months or years far out at sea.
Be glad OF that
Perhaps some milestone has fallen
from you and you stand free at last on
the great highway with long, manacled
arms reached out to the sky.
Be .gladt
Or peace has settled on troubled
ocean and you can greet the sunrise
with a smile and prayer of thankful
ness for another day.
Maybe there is a cradle in one cor
ner OF your home this New Years eve
with a most important guest cuddled
In down blankets and rose leaf palms
upturned for your kisses.
No need to tell you TO be glad.
Or success has come to crown some
effort at which you have toiled rather
YEARLY, hardly daring to hope.
Or If it has been withheld, be glad
that you have nevertheless tried. 1t
will all come to you some day.
The old year has taught us lessons.
Let as profit by them and enter into
the new armed with experience rather
than plunge into 1t as though it were
rose garden
1t is quite as full Of danger and con
f1ict and clouds as the old friend that
is going.
Let us wish 1t will have even as
much sunshine and gladness and joy
We can meet it with splendid hope
and lively faith--for those two quail
ties are what make our dreams come
true.
Let us cherish few good hopes that
1t may bring us the things we stand
in need of--health, happiness, good
friends success, JOY and the clear
vision that Will teach US to discern the
false from the true.
May 1t leave US our beliefs and our
ideals
Teach us to love more and to hate
not at all.
To be content with the blessings that
we have
To cultivate sweetness and good ma
ture rather than exciusiyeness.
To meet the world with smile.
To stifie criticism of things and PEG
pie.
Never to make little of our own.
