Aunt Julia: The new year is here with
ITS pleasures and cares. A flower midtown,
"a book unread, tree with its fruits unhar-
vested, path untrod, house whose rooms
Lack yet the Hearts divine perfume, land
scape those borders lies
In sile1 shades meath silent ekies;
wondfV1s fountain yet unsealed,
A casket with it's gifts concealed.
This is the year that for you waits be-
yohd tomorrow's mystic gates.
May this be a year of health and pros
perity to. each member of our letter box
The precious months before us, with new du-
ties to be performed, new trials to be en-
dured, new battles to be fought, new opp0r-
tunities to be used for our advancement and
uplifting.
A happy year it is sure to be, If we face
\ the future unflinehingly and meet every
trial bravely and do what we believe to be
right for each and everyone with whom I'VE
come in contact. Let us do our best to make
rapid progress this year. We can do our
best in that sphere of life i'll which it has
pleased God TO- cal u.s. i,o No matter tie now n num-

good or bad, and IL the world is to grow
better the work must begin with each inai-
viduar. Bury your shortcomings, your bad
habits, your failingsS~with the ashes Of the
past. Put ON a new rnantel, take your place
in the ranks of progress and push onward
and upward, with brave hearts, determined
to stand for God and the right; stand thus
and this will be year of blessings to all.
Let be merry, for the sunrise never failed
us yet. Let us work with song and gladness,
