himself to death for them. His
income was very small-but he was
determined to send his boys
through college and to give them
technical training afterward. he
did it.
He eked out his salary by night
work. He worked fourteen and
eighteen hours a day, and his sons
let him do it. They were not cruel {;
they were not ungrateful; they
were not really selfish. They
were merely very young and very
thoughtless until their father
died of brain fever at forty-three.
The tragedy opened their eyes
but it was too late.
Try to See Ourselves
AS We Are.
So we must look at ourselves,
J. F. c. We must try to see our
selves exactly as we are. Then,
when the worst fault in US shows
its ugly head, we must determine
to crush it.
In that, we are working even
more for ourselves than for others.
We ourselves are the worst suffer-
ers from our own faults. We our
selves gain most by their elimina-
ton.
We pay life a high price for
every self-indulgence those faults
lead us to. Very often we sell in
exchange for the ugly things in
us, the love and respect of our
friends. Next our self-respect de-
parts. and with that our peace of
mind and our happiness.
So conquer at least one fault in
1918, J. F. C., and encourage your
companions to do the same thing.
Let it be the most serious fault
YOU have Attack it as soldiers at
tack the enemy-and never forget
that your strongest weapon is your
will. If you fail once, or twice,
or many times, don't give up.
With a strong will, you can con-
quer any failing. Every effort you
make strengthens your will. Each
victory YOU achieve will be easier
than the last. Each will make you
a better soldier and better man.

Here is a timely question:
Dear Miss Jordan-Is there any
real value in New Year resOlu-
tions? Does one ever keep them?
The fellows in our club would like
to know what you think about
this. J. F. c, Secretary.
r IRST Of all, J. F. C.. let me
say that | am mighty glad
- the fellows in Your club are
thinking about New Year resolu-
tions. 1t proves that you are good
fellows. Then let me say. without
my usual careful pause for DELHI
GRAFTON, that there is a value in
New Year resolution, and that
there are those who keep them.
The value, of course, lies not in
the date on the calendar, but In
the resolution itself and in the
impulse back OF that resolution.
The resolution proves that the in
dividual has been taking stock OF
himself. He has discovered that
he has this serious fault or that
one, this serious lack OF that one.
He has determined TO correct that
fault or to supply that lack. The
moment he makes this decision he
has taken a long stride forward
The fact that he sets about his
task with the beginning OF the
New Year is merely a matter of
tradition and of convenience. The
first Of the year is a fitting time
for new enterprises of all kinds.
Speaking fiGuratively as well as
literally, we balance our books at
the end of the year. We count up
our profits and our losses. We
measure our successes and our
failures. We consider the lessons
in these experiences.
Some Of us stop at that Others
90 further. Some of us compare
ourselves in character with what
we were a year ago. Knowing that
We cannot stand still, knowing that
we have either grown or deter
iOrated during the twelve months.
we study ourselves as We were and
as we are, until we see what dif-
ference the year has wrought.
Our Gains or Loss
in Character.
Sometimes there is an exhilarat-
ing gain. Sometimes there is a
perceptible Toss. Sometimes it is
hard to see any difference in our
selves. But there is a difference
of one kind or the other; we may
be sure of that.
When we see ourselves in the
clear light of this self-scrutiny the
time for action has come. We
have balanced our books and
planned to cut down our expenses.
We have gone to our doctors and
promised to be more careful of our
health. The last and biggest task
is to promise ourselves a very def
