HERB we stand again ON the

w. X. BurIeigh.
II ERE we stand again on the
4 Il bOrderland of Welcome ard
Good-by. There is so little be-
tween them and so much either
side Of them.
When the great bell of time
strikes the midnight hour, and
1922 passes into the land of long
ago, there is one simple resolu-
tion that we can all make with
pretty good surety that we can
keep it till the next midnight
chimes-that we will be a better
man or woman in the next year
than in the last.
That won't be hard resolution
to fulfill in some degree, and tf
everyone is even a little better,
there will be a heap more good
ness, kindness, success and love
in the world when 1923 rings out
that there is now.
The untried year brings with IL
another chance for ala chance
to make good where we have
failed-a chance to benefit by
what we have counted as failures
In the year that is passing out.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost
heart. The new year, which gives
promise Of so much that Is better,
will bring new courage and hope
to them.
If we can let the unhappy part
of the past year go with 1t, and
only remember the good, It win
help toward all that Is best In the
new.
One Of the best things that we
can hope for the untried year 10
that 1t will be a busy one for
everybody. Work is the best pro
moter Of goodness and happiness.
and the best cure for trouble and
sorrow that there is.
When the solemn, happy bells
'ring out across the snow" let
them ring out with them the bad
things and ring in all that Is good
and true and beautiful that Is
within the power Of each one
Of us.
