No matter how your mothers may
speak, their hearts are in the right

and their manners not up to the frills
of the twentieth century standard.

ue than all the schooling and extra
accomplishments that you may think
OF shining excellence. Heed your
mother-you will never regret IL
II is fitting that kindly thoughts
flow out TO all on this glad festal day:
that it finds expression in gifts, good
wishes and glad greetings They are
akin in the heart who follow the lead
OF Bethlehems Star. May the Joy
bells of Christmas, peace and good
will ring in all your homes, and may
the brightness OF his presence illumine
every heart
KEEP your Christmas nerve and
, muscle and heart and hope and cheer
first for your own home, your own
fireside, your dearest, your closest,
your sweetest and then comes the

The clock struck IL on December
3lst, and we are ushered into New
Year-with how many plans for the
future-Sew resolves. many alas
that are made to be broken. Hut
let us welcome the untroddun Paths
and grasp the new conditions with a
firm hand, grateful for the blessings
the old year has brought to US.
1t is more blessed to give than 20
receive. 1t is likewise more e1pen-
sive.
+ Gift giving at Christmas time is. or
ought to be, nothing more than a
manifestation OF the Christmas sbir-
| It, which is unselfish, seeking only
to make others happy. Every one
who has been moved by this spirit
has realized the truth Of the saying,
1T is more blessed TO give than TO
receive.
F.! Our resolutions for the neH year
should be definite and speciHs. Do
not say SIMPLY that you VIII be more
liberal, but say just how liberal you
Will be, not say that you will be
more faithful, but say lust whit du-
ties, neglected in the past. You will
engage to perform in the future.
I The noblest resolution that any cit
izen could make for the new year
would be the resolution to live more
faithfully by the golden rule. that
sublime principle of conduct for this
world and for all worlds. Failure to
live by the law causes the chief sor-
rows and collisions among men.
There is no better test OF purity
and true goodness than reluctance to
