Times and Things.


to write you about the New Year
and Times and Things. Times and
Things are very necessary in the
economy of existence, and enter
very much into our lives.
We don't care about saying SO
much about our sorrows and trou
bles as we do about our joys and
Successes. We are going to have
sorrow and trouble as long as we
8breathe, and some of us are going
to have some after the breath is
gone from the body. But after
surveying the future along this
foute-the route usually hewn out
by sin and travelled by sinners
as we look back we can see where
sin has made his tracks, but we can
/ also see where righteousness left his
foot prints and his smiles, and we
look at the joyous side of life with
gladness, cheerfulness and hope,
and seeing this we, with our friends,
are strengthened and fortified for
new effort, new zeal, new determin-
&ation. How we are encouraged by
the signs of the footprints of
Echarity and love as they have
crept under the burden of some
sorrowing one and helped them to
bear the load that was crushing
then to the earth. In our hearts
we mark this down, and it empha-
sises the belief that just ahead
over yonder in the future are some
kind hearts and faces, that will
not oNly distribute flowers to en-
large the joys of life, but will
creep under the burdens of the
weak and carry more than half the
load.
impoverished conditions bring
suffering and impoverished hope,
but under these conditions love
and charity are like Grace, where
suffering abounds these christian
characteristics do much more
Iabound So we are hedged about
with hope for all future oontin-
gencies BY the vital graces that
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1913-01-16

are alive in humanity and ready to
spring to the relief of suffering
men and women.
This is a beautiful world and
covered by thousands of beautiful
characters. The reason we don't
know them we don't look for them.
We don't care for them. We don't
read to know. We don't \investi.
gate the annals of current history
as it is given to us by the religious
press from one end of this great
country to the other. We are too
prone to look over-yea, and pour
over-the yellow journals, which
are simply the channels for the
transmission of everything that
carries with it the putrifaction of
the ugly and vicious side of life
The details of sinful conduct are
magnified until but few, compar-
atively, are inclined to believe the
world as good as it really is. I'm
der such conditions we are practi-.
cally incapable of reaching just
conclusion of the advancement of
better things of life. These hid
things are not written to make
men better, but it is grand stand
play to sensationalism.
If the youth of the country
would read the biography of the
great men of the ages instead of
the dime novel, their minds would
be stored with thought worthy of
retention, and they would be given
strength and motive for higher
purposes. We get the beautiful,
the great, the grand by reading
and living with the beautiful, the
great and tho grand. There are
enough ugly and hateful things
forced on you without having to
seek them. Whenever possible
turn your mind in different direc-
ton and see how readily improve
ment will come to establish in you
views contrary to those that would
make you believe the whole world
bad.
We are now entering the year
1913, and while we may have met
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1913-01-16

through the year 1912, let's not let
our failures trouble us. If we
failed at some points during the
year, we failed, and any lamenta-
ton about the matter will not help
the past or brighten the future,
and we merely unsettle our nerves
for the prosecution of duty; but
gathering up the treasures which
have fallen along our path, let's
use them as propellers in our un-
dertakings during the year 1913,
and Times and Things will grow
brighter and sweeter as we touch
the thrilling currents of life, as
they are seen by eyes unclouded
by prejudice and hatred.
There is no politics this year,
thanks be to the arrangement of
political matters, to arouse the hot
blood and cause those whom you
considered your friends to give
you a thousand-miles-away look
as they pass you, and wink at the
other fellow who is making fool of
them. Everything portends good
