A Happy, Prosperous
 and Harmonious 1924
Communication.

To the many of us who are scattered throughout the frozen Rastuess Of this | great NorthIand the coming of the New Year means the forming of many new resolutions, the hopes and expecta- tions of being able to bring all our un- dertakings to a good, prosperous and in every way successful termination.
 But let us not forget that in order to be able to attain to that height of hap piness we must first cleanse our hearts from all thoughts of envy and malice towards our neighbots and fellow men.
 We must try to develop our minds to that degree of fairness where we will be able to overcome all of our petty preiudices and try to learn to tolerate the deeds and opinions of all the men and women with whom we come in contact.
 If we will but take the trouble to try, We will find that there is an infinite amount of goodness in each and every one of us.
 We all are here in the pursuit Of our duties that the fates or Mother Nature intended ns for
 It is true that it is feat of impossi- bility to please every body, yet in order to be able to consider ourselves the true men and women worthy of that happiness, which to achieve is the aim and desire of all, we z1ass learn to lock at the good qualities of our friends and neighbors.
 It would be well if we would. follow the teaching of that great Scottish bard, Bobby Burns, when he said. Then gently scan your brother man,
 Still gentler sister woman; Though they have gone a-knowing
 wrong,
 To step aside is human.
 It is not only for the peace of our own minds-no, it is sacred duty that we owe to our coming generation. Whatever good examples we show them, whatever they hear us say. will be an indelible imprint upon their now so very retentiVe minds.
 Let us forever bear in mind that our soiourn on this earth is but of short duration.
 Therefore let us each, and every one Of us, resolve, while we are on the threshold of this our New Year, to try to show what kindness and do what good deeds we can towards oneanother, while we are. here, for once we have passed we shall never come this way again.
 At any rate, let us refrain from the casting of the shadow of anger and of pain. Let us all try to bring that peace and goodwill into our little con- munities which is so essential to the happiness of us all in this our latest ] New Year.
