Dear Editor:-May I have space in

mas of your life, and have started
out in the New Year hopeful and
happy, and determined by the help of
God to make this the best year OF
your life and meet trials and difficcI-
ties each day bravely, and if your
sky is sometimes darkened by a cloud
just take courage and say. We'll on
the other side the sun still Shines
And dear ones lets try ocr best to
follow the golden rule this year more
than ever before, and if we do. I feel
sure we will at the close of this year
say it has been happy year.
AS this coming year of 1916 is as
a book unread, as song unsung. and
a story untold. we cannot tell what
it may bring forth. Some predict
that America will be drawn into the
conflict Of war this year. Others say
it is to be d year of great suffering
Of variius kinds. such as accidents.
murders, etc. Bible scholars and
deep thinkers say that the second
coming Of Christ viii be this year.
However, God alone knows what 1t
is to bring to pass, but we all do see
that this earth is all unrest and is
expecting some great thing to take
place. Well our hope is in God,
Come what may. He doeth all things
well. and after the counsel OF His
own will.

Our Aunt. Mrs. Nancy Grammer. of
Dennison- Texas, visited MS a few
days before Christmas. We had not

us this time. and just to be remem-
bered BY those we love, and those
that love US is the secret of the Joy.
and not just merely to get present,
but to know we are thought Of at this
happy time Of peace and good will;
If only a card, it fills its mission.

tionary, stamps and pencils given by
