So what's the use, to make excuse
And spend a life in cruel abuse?
Sometimes a fate can cause a hate
That never ends until too late.
And then it turns, bruises and burns,
And costs more than a fellow earns.
It's best, my boy, to have some JOY,
And all the idle hours employ
In making hay every day,

but never quite ready. Having a
head and a heart full of good intrn-
tions, but putting off to some long
and distant day to do the things
which you are able to do today. The
race has staggered and stumbled over
smooth roads for more than fifty
years. We must not forget that our
success means doing the difficult
things, and overcoming obstacles. and
turning our defeats into victories.
This requires toll, effort rightly d.
rected with determined spirit to win
the coveted things, rather than have
something to be done by others that
we must do for ourselves. Worth
makes the man; the want OF it, the
fellow, and all the rest is leather and

Getting a large portion OF our race
to think seriously about the condi-

which must be overcome by us for the

job. 4 job which it may appear is
not all profitable, and yet there is not

CHRISTMAS.

When Christmas dawned three years
ago it carried Il brighter promise to
mankind han any Christmas in nine
c centuries. The most terrible of
all wars had come 10 an end the spirit
of freedom had t|riurnphed over the
spirit of d~espotism after the most dew
astating struggle in history, and peace
n Righteousness seemed at last to
rule the world
Yet two succeeding Christmases pass
ed, leaving men in doubt and dismay.
Although peace had followed war, al
most nowhere did the spirit of good
will prevail. Nations that had stood
together i'm arms became distrustful of
one another. 'Bolshevism held in its
cruel chains a great people that had
failed to profit by the fight for free
dom. Burdens of taxation, of unem-
ployment, of debt weighed heavily in
every land. Christmas, 1919. and
Christmas, 1920, were days when the
fair promise of Christmas, 1918, lin
gered in the hearts of many men and
women as n mockery.
And now Christmas, 1921, dawns up
on the world with a light that smiles
clearer, steadier, brighter even than
that which shone three years ago.
