 . ROGRESS ROSPERITY
IS WISDOM.

There's a bank cashier in Bingham, Utah, who will not remain bank cashier. s' A man with his foresight and discrimination to be prepared IS sure to ascend. The great trouble with most O. us is that we are not prepared for emergencies; we don't look far enough ahead; we haven't our eyes glued on the job above so closely that we are competent ta. handle it when the time comes. Con sequently we are not ready to hug Opportunity when she comes floating into our arms. Then we complain about "pull" and "favoritism." But this Bingham, Utah, bank cashier IS rot this sort. Because he was pre- pared, he recovered $lS,000 stolen from his bank and effected the cap ture of the robber. Here's the story as told in the new dispatches:
 Birmingham, Utah, Dec. 29.-A man who gives the name of Bert Heasted held up Cashier Earl Randall, two men and a boy at the Bingham State bank at 3 o'clock today, took $1S,00o in gold and currency and was ar rested without resistance soon after ward. His quick capture was due |" the fact that the cashier carried q screw driver in his pocket to be used, he says, in case he were held up ano locked in the vault, as was the cashier in another Utah bank robbery recent ly and as was done with hlmseff to- day.
 Heasted was dressed as miner and entered the bank without arous- ing suspicion. He made the thr se men and the boy in the bank lie on lile floor, bound them, locked them Tn the vault aud then took the money. Rah- dall used his screw driver to open the vault and then took the money .Rah- in few minutes.
 Policeman J. H. White overlook Heasted, arrested him without tfou' ble and found all the money in the ~man's clothing.
 -If Cashier Randall had not calcu latsd upon the possibility of his bani being robbed, and calculating. made r,c,isions better than arming him self with a siX-shooter, his employe: would be $1S,000 out and robbel free 70 continue his brlgandage. Ther' are big jobs waiting for men llk' Randall; men who look ahead and ar' equal to emergencies. This is goot time tc begin to thing about prepared ness. One of the best resolutions an. man or boy can make and keep IS t' determine to look ahead and be pre- pared for Opportunity.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

of th ? spirit be rather glorious?
 2. For if the ministration of con- demnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness eX- ceed in glory.
 10. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this re- spect, by reason of the glory that eX- celleth.
 II. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
 12.' Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness ot speech
 13. And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolish ed:
 IA. But their minds were blinded: for until this day remainefh the same veil urtaten away in the reading of tha old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
 15. Rut even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon theif heart.
 16. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall ae taken away.
 F. Ncw the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord IS, there is liberty.
 1S But we all, with open face be- holding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

RES0LTTION-MA

Any weakling can make resolu' tions It needs a strorg man to Keep them. That is perhaps why New Year resolutions are so often futile. The strong do not wait for high days and holy days to amend their con duct or carry out their resolves, They obey Goethe's dictum:
 Seize this very minute,
 Boldncss has genuine, power and magic in it."
 And so it happens that the large army of peorle who wait for the New Year to effect reformation in their lives are seldom successful in carry ing out their intentions. They are net possessed of the spirit of energy and resolution necessary to achieve ment. It may be argued that it is better to make good Resolutions, even though they are not ctrried out, than not to make them at al This is open ''ts s'''''s4' asxsss 'sls,s ae vnss sas ons t,

whole better not to make promises to oneself. tnfulfilleG resolves continu- ally repeated, tend to weaken the character, and to reduce ones faith in oneself, just as resolutions put into practice are conductive to strength and self-confidence.
 Very little tends 10 overbalance the resolutions of the average per son. In fact. many people welcome any excuse to cXQnorate them from the carrying out of their resolves. One individual determines, let lis say, never to lose his temper He comes down on New Years morning with set smile on his face. Alas. it is short-lived. The whole world seems in conspiracy to drag him back to his former frame of mind. The eof- fee is cold, the letters which look SC al)uring prove 10 be chiefly bills and be gSing epistles. he falls over the doorsteps as he leaves the house. All these minor annoyances, which. if rightfully met, would have helped him to conquer his weakness, serve but to throw him back into his origin al state, and befcre evening he is as bad as ever he has been.
 Or take another very general New Year resolution, that of getting up at a certain time in the morning. When the day dawns, any reason whatever is gl lasped at to evade this. The weather Is too cold, the alarm was not loud enough, he is sure his watch is fast, he doesn't really feel we'll enough to risk getting up earlier than usucl and, aftor all, he asks himself, is there any real reason why he should9 A thousand-and-one excuses the average individual will make to himself rather than perform what he has designed to do. The world is full of wobblers of this kind and the more they wohble the weaker they become.
 Another reason perhaps why the average resolution makers seldom achieve their purpose is that they at tempt too much. They make two, three. sometimes six resolutions at once, whereas 10 carry through one resolution successfully is quite an admirable feat.
 As Thomas8A Kempis says:
 "If every year we could root out one vice we would sooner become perfect men," lmpatienca is al the root of many defeats. It is customary nowadays to sheer at the virtue for which the name of Job is synonym GUS, but those who say that patience is tho virtue of an ass or beggar's virtue are not so wise as the Spanis.' proverb-maker, who said
 Patience! and shuffle the cards. Most people shuffla the cards eagerly enough but tho patience is lackin%. Seeking to grasp the stars, at bound they fall back to the earth
 And so, if people at the commence ment of a New Year adjusted their desires in accordance with thoif abilities, and instead of signing for the unattainable made the very most of the opportunities vouchsafed to them one would hear less of broken re~oluiicna and wasted lives.
