this depends much Of our happiness.
No community will prosper beyond
It's supper, " its churches. Let us
not be stingy In the preparation for
religious worship. and let us not make
business or the dollar our Idol, for
nations have crumbled on account OF
this sin, and individuals have been
dethroned and east down for the same
renson. Stick tight 20 your good
resolutions made on January First,
and while the business men of the
community are invoicing their stock
and figuring their profits. let every
individual in Lubbock, regardless Of
his religious beliefs. his business class
,fication, or whether he has n bust
ness. get quiet for n few minutes and
look back of the past year and see
wherein he has failed or has scored \
victory, and launch n campaign for
an intensive program of progressive
ness and thrift this year. Thrift
means much for the nation, the COM
munity or the individual. and Il is
not necessary that we stint our self
in order 10 practice thrift, but we1
can be economical. and refrain from
wastcfulnesa. which would mean a.
great sum Of money 10 this nation
during the twelve months time.
We hope that Lubbock will line up
TO a man, 20 make this year the great
eat In the history of Lubbock. Keen
this community before the world, and
make the moral conditions of the COM
munity such that this city will be
the most desirable place II any, for
good people 10 live, n safe place TO
bring children, 10 educate. back our
officers in the enforcement Of the
law and in every way be law-abiding
deal fairly with our fellowman and
.nnlv the golden rule.
