THE PASSING AND COM.
ING YEAR.

with much hope as everything In
dictated better times ahead. Tho
crops were fine and promising, but
at tho harvest time things had
changed. the fine cotton aud corn
crops wore much damaged by the
continuous rainy spell lasting
more than two months and the
cane crop although fairly good.
was not up to expectations.
We can, therefore, safely say
that We believe no ono will regret
to see 1913 pass into history, and
We will all be glad to greet the
New Year. a. No can at least hope
for things to DO better, sunshine
must succeed tho rains and clouds.
good times must succeed bad
times, health must succeed
sickness and bountiful crops must
succeed failures.
We must not feel discouraged
because for the past few years we
had some crop failures and some
hard times, this is tho fate of the
human race, things change, some.
times for tho better and some time
for the worst. We have, We hope,
seen the worse and We must now
hope and look for a change for
the bettsr-which must come. 1t
cannot rain oil tho time, sunshine
must come.
Ii We look around, read the dali
ly papers, we will surely thank
the Lord from the bottom of our
hearts, for, notwithstanding our
crop failures and our overhowa
and hard times, our troubles and
sutfsrings are nothing compared
with the suffering of other psoole
and other sections aud countries.
1t is sometimes perhaps a little
hard to meet our obligations, but
we always find something to cal
aud dry soft place to sleep and
rest.
Our overflows come on 10 slow.
ly and We move to higher lands
with our possessions, compare this
to the sections visited by torential
rains, clouds bursts, swelling and
rushing rivers, leaving behind
death, ruin and desolation. Com
pare our condition to those ooun-
tries were sickness and pestilence
prevail, compare our condition to
those countries, We may say all
over the world in war and revolu-
ton where their money is spent
in ammunition of war to kill one
another instead of helping those
in need and take their best young
mon to the front where they are
slaughtered, aud the country dos.
troyed, cities burned, and every
industry closed.
Even the sacrednsss of their
churches and converts are not re.
spected but are looted and DESTROY
ed.
Look upon the condition of tho
world, good people of st. Martin
aud Louisiana, and you will see
that our misfortunes are light COM
to others.
Let us have faith in tho Lord.
confidence in our work, determin.
alton in success, courage in every
adverse condition we meet, and we
feel confident that the good Lord
will once more shower upon US
His blessings and happiness and
prosperity will be everywhere.
