The best way to spend the days of
1913 is for every boy and girl to try
and be better in every respect. Ev-
cry child should be more obedient to
their teacher, more thankful and
kind to theif friends, also more obe-
dient and loving to their parents; al
ways try to be happy and make ev-
eryone happy We can.
On Sunday we should 60 to church
and listen attentively to what the
minister says. Always try and know
our Sunday-school lessons as we can
learn something new and good if we
study. We should speak more kind
ly to everybody and not keep an
evil against anyone nor speak evil of
them. Try and give up our own
pleasures. if it will make some one
else happy. Next, we should 60 to
school every day if nothing prevents,
as everyone should try and get an
education. Children should always
begin school the first day, 60 neat
and tidy. We should always get up
soon so as to get out in the fresh air,
as it helps US to feel better and be
more healthy. Always try to make
the best of each day as it comes to
us and do some deed of kindness to
seme one around us or away. We
should also try and know our lessons
better every day, and try not to be
tardy and always behave well. We
should read good helpful books, think
kind thoughts and not use any pro-
fanelanguage; think before we speak,
never tell things we hear unless we
know it to be the truth.
When our friends are in trouble
we should give them all the help we
can. We should never say anything
to hurt any ones feelings. Always
try and do unto others as we wish to
be done by them. We should also
be kind to dumb animals and not
kill innocent birds.
As the poet wisely says:
Look not mournfully into the past,
1t comes not back again,
Wisely improve the present,
1t is thine.

We all should get up every morn
ing bright and cheerful, and do oar
household duties with a smile on our
faces. Make a good resolution on
new years day and try at least to
make some one happy by doing some
kindly deed each day. We could
speak something kind to all we meet
and mark it with cheerfulness and
truth.
We who have plenty could make
little sacrifice for those that are less
fortunate and not be selfish with
what we have. Many things we have
bought because we saw and wanted
them, not because we needed them.
And probably that money wouldhave
made some one happy which was in
need. 1t is not the presents one re-
ceives that make her happy, but it is
the number of people that we have
made happy; for if we give nice
presents to those who have plenty
and none to those in need, it would
not make US as happy as we would
be if we give to those in need. So 1t
is better to give than to receive.
think that on school days we
should go to school and learn our
lessons we'll. We should be very
good in school and try not make
trouble for anybody. If we want
to be loved and have a good many
friends we should always be bright
and cheerful, and be kind to every
body.
On Sunday we should 60 to church
and listen to what the preacher says.
In the afternoon we should read Sun
day-school papers and some stories
from Gods own holy words. Do our
duty towards our parents, and, first
of all, to God. Say your prayers ev-
cry night and morning and trust in
God only to help US through. So, |
am going to try to help make every
body happy, be a better sister and
playmate. So, take fresh courage,
little friends, and be better pupil
than that in 1912.
