A Thought for the New Year

Get up right in the morning. Go
to bed right at night. Start with
JOY IN your heart, hope IN the fu.
ture, kindness IN your purpose. If
it is a dark day never mind; you
will brighten it up. If it Is a
bright day, you will add tn the
brightness. Give a word of cheer;
a kindly greeting and warm hand
shake to your friends. If you have
enemies, look up, pass them by,
forget and try to forgive. II all of
us would only think how much of
human happiness Is made by our
selves, there would be less of human
misery. II all of us would bear in
mind that happiness is from within
and not from without there would
be wellspring of Joy in every
heart and the sun would shine for.
ever. -LeslIe's Weekly.
Pocahontas star herald., 1915-01-15

though even il that be the
case the true leader will neyerthe-
less keep on fighting.
Good will, good Wilt is IN
deed one of the crying needs Of our
time. As rule Il man reveals his
own character by His estimate OF
others. The man who loves other
men is likely to be man himself
worth loving. The man who dts
trusts other men Is usually a man
who is himself to be dlstrusted. As
a rule il may be said that we may
trust the man who trusts and doubt
the man who doubts.
And in order to promote good
wall get your nelghbors together
in churches, Sunday schools, far
mers' clubs, cooperative societies,
aud get them together as often as
possible as visitors one family TO
another.
Finally as a practical exercise in
good will let us suggest just this
New Year resolution: that during
1915 you wall sieze every opPortuni
ty to speak a word of praise for
every neighbor you have and try to
help every one who mas done a
worthy thing, beginning, Of course,
by making friends with any man
from whom you may have been
heretofore estrauged.
Let's live good will as we'll as
profess it! There's no other way
to "keep Cbristmas"-the Christ.
mas spirit always in our hearts!
