1920

The New Year will mark one of
the great epochs of American history.
Many of the weightiest problems
this nation has ever faced must be
settled, for veal or woe, pefore 1920
ends. The spirit opens with a spirit
of turmoil and Of unrest, of political
activities and upheavals. During the
year many will break away from old
moorings, new alliances will be form
cd, vast financial changes between
Europe and America win come about,
problems vitality affecting labor will
claim ever-increasing attention.
The discussions Of all these issues
will be attended with intensifying
bitterness, especially in the political
world.
At times,it will look as though the
good old ship of State will be driven
upon the rocks of destruction. But
fear not; the end is not yet.
The spirit Of America still lives;
it will survive all the storms of the
year; it will conquer unrest and tur-
MOL; it will beat back to their home
the forces of hell, now seeking our
ruin; it will ride triumphant over the
storms that may beat around us.
Upon every American rests the re-
sponsibility to do his utmost to make
this year the best in his own life and
in his country that turmoil may end
and peace come where there is now
bitterness. Let every man solemnly
pledge
That he will work harder and more
efficiently, whether he be poor or rich,
employer or employee, than ever be-
fore;
That he will cultivate the spirit Of
Cancellation and friendship-that in
bis work and in his home life he will
adopt as his sworn pledge to follow
the Golden Rule;
That he win do all in his power to
advance the nations prosperity
through the prosperity of his own
work;
That in recognition of the world
shortage, of food be win waste less
