Dear Auntie and All: Another year?
fbof but
More work to do; greater burdens to bear
What is the use of it all? so we sometimes
think when we stand at the threshold OF
new year But wait! Is this indeed all!
When we have climbed another hill and done
another twelve months work does that sum
up all that 1924 may mean to US? Where
do we gain strengthf Is 1T not IN set
ting out to scale the heights of another
mountain the moment we have reached the
top of elevation? We may halt for
little while on the summit we have gained
to look back and enjoy the prospect and
get our Breath for the further ascent. But
il we ever are to be any stronger, we can
not stay here: must push on, mounting
peak after peak and keep doing that as
long life lasts. And then, IL we are not
discoura ged, but press on, shall find
many a new flower by the wayside many
q rare plant and who knows how many beau
tiful experiences as We journey upward!
Nothing would be more dsheartening than
to feel that we have found our last blossom
points where we had taken in all the lovely
things life had to afford. But is not this
the finest thing OF the coming year? 1T
will give us sweeter visions than any we
ever have experienced before If we approach
tile climb with courage and keep our eyes
open for these now unknown experiences
Today all this is hidden from our eyes. Rut
day by day the panorama will unfold. We
shall rise a little higher and little highe-
above the valley we left a little while ago.
We shall forget how tired we thought
would he when the New Year lifted it's
head before More and more of joy and
usefulness and blessing will he ours he
cause We stepped bravely out upon the
track of the unknown day. Amt Julia.
