CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

Christmas comes but once a year,
And the c. L. G. met it with good
cheer;
Although a little ahead of time,
Eighteen members were right in line.
They met this time with Shifts Mary,
Where every ere was glad TO tarry,
To see what coed Old st. Nick brought
For OF missing one he never thought.
He brought along with him his wife,
And gave TO each one something nice,
And then he sang a little song;
Twas very good if not so long.
The day was spent with music rare,
Song and story were also there.
Love and happiness reigned supreme,
Which was a reality not a dream
Next came a contest OF great size,
Miss Mary ShiltZ winning the prize.
A lunch was served that was divine,
Then all adjourned TO meet with Mrs.
Yontz next time.

Conscious power exists within the
mind of every sentient being. Its ex-
istence may be unrealized. but il is
there. 1t is there TO be developed and
brought forth by training, like the
culture Of that obstinate but beautiful
flower. the orchid. To allow it to
remain dormant is to hold oneself in
obscurity, TO be blind to ones oppcr-
tunities. to smother ones faculties
Down with fear, Let the conscious
power within the soul stand forth
boldly and lead TO usefulness, success
and happiness. 1t is a matter entire
Is OF right study. Of right effort. of
right acknowledgment
Employers everywhere are seeking
for the man who knows how and
when and why; for the man who will
go directly ahead and do his work
promptly and correctly and thorough
ly without having to be told every
fifteen minutes how to proceed.
The way TO get ahead and stay
ahead is to use a head
But the head must be trained One
must know. No matter how willing
he may be. or how greatly he may de-
sire to do the thing at hand, he cannot
do it and do it right unless he knows
how. Knowing how comes from
training.
The main thing is TO fit into ones
place. whatever the place may be;
and when one does that, other things
take care Of themselves. There is no
superiority but in superiority OF ser
vice. The only thing any man has to
sell TO this world, and the only thing
the world will buy, is service.
Many think that opportunity must
be something great and unusual; but
the fact is that the stepping-tone for
any man TO the place above him lies
in doing better the very thing he is
doing.
