THREE YEARS

NEW YEAR time is season for retrospect and
prospect for reviewing the past and peering, as
we'll as fallble morals can, into the future. Each
is meaningless without the other. From the last
two years record and the tendencies OF the present
we can gain at least some nkling OF the next twelve
months, and the outlook is hopeful
The year 1920 was year of moral and spiritual
defaton. The exaltaon OF the had ebbed. Ideals
grew dim and manners lax Our nation and other
nations came to doubt the worth OF the things for
which they had fought and strven and sacrificed
and to doubt each other and by consequence to
doubt themselves. 1t was time OF degeneratng
purpose and confused Judgment The magnificent
team work of classes parties and nations became
a rather sordid squabble.
The year 1921 has been year OF business de-
ilation. Material prosperity ebbed. Business could
not keep up the fierce pace. world poverty-strick
ell by war could not buy. As consumption failed
production had to fall and prices likewise. Also the
confusion OF mind and purpose invaded industry and
finance mental depression invited business depression.
The slump OF the past year is one long to be remem
bered in America, with its millions OF unemployed
and its increasing want and suffering which, though
still mild compared with what Europe has had to
lace are unusual in this land OF promise
Vet somehow as the nations business has gone
down, its ideals have started up. This is not a
strange thing; plain living is additionally found with
high thinking; but always the old truth seems new.
As economic depression deepened, old ideals began
10 re-awaken, the squabbing lessened, the selfish
ness relaxed, passions and prejudces ebbed, and
people and nations more felt the pull OF mutual
sympathy and the call for helpful cooperation.
This to be the keynote Tor the year 1922.
The arms conference has revealed capacity on
the part of nations to work together for common
purposes. spirit among peoples. 1t is the same
among social classes, the same even among political
parties.
There are many indications of genuine business
revival too, based largely this same fact OF
mutual helpiulneSs
Deflaon, spiritual and material, is accomplished.
The nation is building anew from solid foundations,
Is it too much to hope that the new year will be
one combining the best OF our war ideasm with
the solid virtues and material rewards OF peaceful
prorreS,
