Our Accomplishments
What Have They Been?

n HAVE always found, even In
FOuth, quite as much interest in
looking back as in looking for
ward. 1t is good to plan for the fu-
ture, but there is quite as much to
be gained from reviewing the past and
In seeing how far we have come, how
much we have accomplished, in what
ways we have developed.
I was talking to Foreman about the
year that is so nearly at an end. He
was dissatisfied with his progress and
uncertain as to whether or not the
time and money he had expended had
been worth while. He had learned
little, 1t seemed; for all he could see,
he wasn't different than when he had
left the little country town nine months
ago. But could see that he was a
little more self-possessed, a little
surer Of himself, a little less crude
in his manners. He was learning to
think, learning to meet people, and
developing little wider range of In
terest than when he left home.
As you come to the end Of the year
and look back, how far have you
conner 1t is an easy question to ask,
but possibly not so easy to answer.
When we were little children at
home, mother used to teach us after
we had said our prayers at night to
go over in our minds for a minute or
two the events Of the day and try to
determine whether it had been a good |
day for us or a bad one. Often we |
dropped of to sleep before we had |
gone far, but It was a good expert
ence, this looking our accomplish
ments In the face and trying honestly
to estimate them. It Is something like
this that should like to put before
you as this year is closing. What has
the year meant to your New friends9
New pOwers7 New ideals3 Have you
done something worth while7 Are you
better, stronger, more able to fight the
battles Of the world than you were a
year ago? Are you wiser with q wis
dom that is clean, healthy and upllft-
lng7 IF so, the year is ending happily Z

Light il, the Steeple

on Christmas Morning

Sae SAea eSease~e8 etA W seeaet
AR above the sleeping city, like
a low and leading star, like q
watchful and kindly eye, like q
beacon Of assuring hope, q promise Of
Christmas morning, beamed the light
IN the old church steeple.
It shOne down through enc Of the
church windows and smiled upon the
pictured shepherds who found a morn
ing at midnight; and upon the stately
wise men who knew the Joy Of max
ing gladnesS out Of gifta Its rays
lighted up q garret, where two very
hopeful youngsters were sleeping upon
Q very small bed, after making sure
that the light was there. In the street
below a passer looked up, saw 1t and
smiled; another paused under the
glow and spell Of Il and dropped a
coin into the poor box at the church
door. The Salvation Army lass came
out from the church porch and
thumped her tambourine merrily be-
cause some genial influence had filed
her basket 30 full, almost dancing
down the street as the bells saw by
the cleaning light that It was time to
ring.
And so with cheering glory and with
chime
Came in another happy Christmas time.
While the old steeple, still pointing
upward, remained as a witness to
things high and plendid.-ChristO-

Bear in mind that now, more than ever,
the merchant who advertises most is the one
who can give you the most for your money.
He is buying his goods right and selling
them right. He does not fear coupetition-he
welcomes it. He tells you freely, openly and
frankly what he has to sell and for how much.
He is not afraid to expose his prices to the light
Of day. They are what they should be and he
knows it.

offers you the best service and the best prices.
Remember that only the merchant cannot af-

a larger profit to make up for lack Of customers.

ELOISE
Rs D MARSHALL

THOUGH surely English by adop-
L ton, Eloise is best regarded as a
French name. 1t means famous holt
ness" and comes into existence
through the early Provencal Alloys, a
masculine name in popular usage. Its
feminine, Aloyse, soon came to be
spelled Heloise, and received its ini-
tial fame through the lovely lady
whose correspondence with Abelard
was the theme of much sentiment.
The name was taken to Scotland by
the archers, and reached England
through the wife of the Norman Will
liam MalIet, who was called Hesilia,
or Helewise. In France, Heloise suf-
fered a temporary eclipse until ROus-
seau's romance LA Nouyelle Heloise'
caused the name to be revived with
greater popularity than before.
Eloisa is the form preferred in Italy
and it is more than probable that our
Eloise is taken direct from that coun-
try rather than from the French He
loise, since the former is employed
here with almost as great frequency
as Eloise.
The diamond is ElOise's talismanic
stone. Il promises her mental and
bodily strength and the courage to at
tain her hearts desire. Monday is her
lucky day and 6 her lucky number.
The violet is her flower.
