and set your aim upon duty. God and
the unfading. this new year will bring
you no sorrow without its comfort.
and over and over again It will fill
your cup with blessing
Purpose is the very soul OF exist
ence. There is little need that we
press this fact home. The average
man grasps its truth instantly.
AS We stand upon the threshold OF
the New Year. however. we do well
to consider a certain phase OF its
meaning-that which applies to the
things that are new.
We naturally like what is new.
There is a certain charm about va
rfety. When life presses strongly up
on us with its burden of responsible
ity and its pressure of care there is
ever the temptation to throw OF the
old and take care Of the new.
We respectfully suggest that the
problems of life cannot be solved by
some patent process: old responsible
ties cannot be shaken on by the adop-
ton Of fantastic theories of religion
and morals: there are no short cuts
to truth.
With this In mind. what shall be the
truest attitude OF the thoughtful man
toward the possible variety OF the
New Year. True. 1t may be a variety
closely resembling that of a year ago:
the commonplaceness of life's expe-
riences is only too apparent To win
without effort is a misnomer; to attain
without sacrifice is to eliminate Joy;
to look for an easy path is to prove
the worthlessness of such a life's at
tainments. So. in view of these sug.
gestions. what shall be our attitude

MOSl tnOuSnUlul persons
are moved at this season to make res
olutions; in fact, New Years day is
like grand bazar day In which vari-
Gus fine and beautiful resolutions are
spread out to view. But alas. how
many of these are only made to be
broken! We are determined to turn
over new leaf in the book of life.
and yet the fair. unspotted leaf Is
roiled almost in the very act OF turn
Ing 1t. What then? Shall we give
up making resolutions? Not at all.
All effort is fragmentary. Because
purposes miscarry is no reason why
we should not form them. Were ev-
cry New Years resolution to be brok-
en- we would still have lived better
for making them. And some of them
will be kept. while the very endeayor
will have lifted us to a higher plane
and increased our self-respect
We should. most of all. ask our
selves If we have a true life aim. No
man can hit the mark IL he is not
aiming at It.
Resolve to break off bad habits.
We all have our defects of disposition
and character. These we cannot help.
But 1t is our voluntary self-indulgence
that makes them our masters Now
Is the hour to fight them, to resist
them unto blood, to break them of at
once and for all.
Look on the bright side. The world
is full OF beauty and life sparkles with
Joy to the unblurred vision. 1t is our
gloomy spirits that distort our view.
The worst evils are imagined ones
that never come to pass. Let us look
look for love and goodness and
beauty and happiness. and we shall
tread a fragrant. embowered way.
Let US do better in the home. II is
here. where we are often most
thoughtless. that we need to do our
very best. More depends on the at
mosphere of home than upon all else.
Resolve that those who love you most
and sacrifice the most for you shall
see only your most pleasing side
shall have only respect. gentleness.
