HILTON NEWS.

Out Of the brightness, or dullness-
as each one may view it--of the past
year, we emerge into another wear
fraught with its tremendous potential
tiles. The old year is gone, and look
at It from any viewpoint we may, Il
amounts to little now. It has made
history, such history as will live for
all time. Differentations of a personal
nature amount to nothing and are
buried with the past. The unknown
future is that which we now look to
IN anticipation OF greater develop-
ments than the world has vet known.
1919 is ushered in under favorable
auspices. The way is made clear for
the Peace Conference which. it is hon
ed, viii settle the worlds disputes and
inaugurate that freedom that many of
the doWRtrodden have heretofore un-
known. 1t would seem that the com
ing year is the prOpitious time for the
worlds freedom. How much better
are we today than we were one year
ago? To borrow phraseology from
the Philadelphia Inquirer of Christ
mas Day: Just one year ago
then we were resolute and courageous
out the world war hung like a pail
over holiday festivities and merriment
was OF a suppressed order. We were
then pinning our faith on God and His
Son in the belief that all would come
out right" And our faith was moi
pinned in Cod in vain. All has come
out right thus Tar and the year 1919
will witness further revelations that
our faith has perhaps not dared grasp.
We welcome the new year. and as
usual turn over a new leaf casting
the old one to the winds of oblivion.
May it be a prosperous year to all the
readers of the Chronicle.
