Forget The Past

The New Year is the best of all times to take mental inventory and every one of us should do so. We should forget the past en- tirely. All the regrets. all the sighs, all the tears that ever were. or ever will be. combined, cannot recall one single moment that has passed. Then why waste good time and vitality ? Meet the New Years day with l brave, smiling face. The world stops to take notice of the fight CT. and gives him 99 chances out of 100. whereas the whimperer is passed by without glance. Then let us resolve that the first day of 1917 will see us starting all over again, standing fearless ly in our places; and let us fur ther resolve that during the com- ing days we will, occasionally, reach out a helping hand to some one who needs it. This is a great resolution to make-a gilt edged investment that pays the highest discount on record.
