THE NEW YEAR.

The past is gone and irrevoca-
BILE. It's failures, mistakes, hyp-
ocrisies and delusions, it's heart
aches and tragedies; it's progress
and glory, are history. The new
year is fair white page before
us. What shall we write there?
The world wants and needs,
more perhaps than it ever did be-
fore, men of vision and purpose.
We are coming into a period Of
acute disturbance and painful re-
adjustment. The new year will,
it is hoped, be marked by a grad
ual resumption of normal condi-
tons of industry and commerce,
but"normalcy," if it comes at all,
Will not come as wholly pleasant,
soothing and agreeable transition.
There will be disappointment, in
convenience and distress in the
process of readjustment, The
dollar will become more difficult
to secure. Competition will be-
come keener. Every phase of life
will put men to test they have
not had to meet in the inflated
days when the shirk and the I'M
competent could demand and
would receive unmerited consid-
Grafton. Success tomorrow will
be a certificate of worth. 81.
The man or woman worth while,
however, will not be discouraged
in the face of changed conditions.
There will be ample rewards i'm
life for those who truly deserve
them. In enterprise of any ma
ture, there is no worker, however
humble, who cannot do something
to keep it going, and that some-
thing may be a great distribution
to its success. 7's.' ''.'s ess'
The real joy of living is. in do
ing something worth while. Not
alone in a business or industrial
way, but in the life we lead out of
business hours as we'll. Only
about one-third of the average
persons time is occupied by the
business or calling with which he
is identified. The use that is
made of the hours of leisure may
be the read determining factor in
our lives. What shall it profit us
to be successful in money making
if we fail in the better and higher
things of life? S.
Before every man and woman
there is the insistent duty to make
the new year count in effort and
achievement for the good of hui
mainly. There are SO many
things we can do, if we only will,
to make this a better world tor live
in. Little things, that do not cost
us much in, time, effort or money,
most of them are, but they count
large when their total is summed
up. On the threshold of a new
year let us all solemnly resolve
that, when it too passes, we can
look back on a record of unself-
ish service. Then indeed will it i
have been a happy new year..
