WINNING ESSAY

With Essay On "NatiOnal
Safety

The following essay was written by
Albert Schmidt, age thirteen. who at
tends the eighth grade in the plato
Public schools. He has '+rritten Il 60
compete in the 1923 National Safety
Essay Contest. Albert's essay has
been chosen as the best from the
Hand County Schools and Il will be
sent to the state judges for Judgment
with other essays from other parts of
South Dakota. The first prize offered
Is a gold medal and SIS. The second
state prize is a silver medal and $40.
The third state prize Is a bronze
medal and SIS. After being judged by
the state judges the best essay will be
sent to national judges for their
Judgment. You no doubt remember
that Albert's sister. Lillian, Won first
honors in South Dakota in the Legion
essay contest last fall. or curse we
all hope Albert will be as fortunate.
THE number of accidents is in
creasing each year. The reason for
these accidents is mostly carelessness
of the drivers and bad roads. We can
lessen these accidents by becoming
more careful drivers. There are a
few important rules that all drivers
should put into practice.
Always keep to the right side of the
road. BY so doing you will not be
liable TO run into other airs coming
from the opposite direction. Turn to
the left of the road when passing
cars going in the same direction that
you are driving. BE careful and look
behind o when backing your car SO
that you will not drive into another
vehicle. "
Always slow down for the turns or
you will be Liable TO run off the road
or over-turn your car. Always blow
your horn when you are going around
a curve or over a hill so any car or
vehicle on The other Side will know
that you are coming. Look care
fully before you GRO a railroad
track. Many people are injured and
killed each year because they are SC
careless at railroad crossings. 1t is
also important no TO cross a r
row grade if another vehicle is cross
ing il.
The condition of the car is also to
he considered Always keep your car
lights in good working order so you
can clearly see the road and other
sehicles ahead of you. A great many
nc cidents are caused each year be-
cause of poor lights. Chains should
be- put on when travelling on slippery
roads. Without chains you are apt
to slide into the ditch or other vehi-
cles. An auto shouldn't travel faster
than from five to ten miles an hour
in town because there would be many
accidents if one drove at any greater
speed. You should put out your hand
to show which way you are going to
turn. This is important in cities and
crowded highways.
The country would be far better off
if a few of these rules would be
obeyeG.

HOW TO FACE THE NEW YEAR

In many respects Christianity has
transformed mans outlook upon life
and given to his whole way of think
ing an entirely new orientation. This
is nowhere more strikingly evident
than in his completely changed atti-
tude towards time. Before the advent
of Christianity man lived nde the
oppressive spell OF the dead past;
since its glorious entry into the world
he lives under the liberating spell OF
the living future. AS a result or this
fact, the chief characteristic of the
Christian is u~Ddaunted resolution;
whereas hat of the pagan was a
resignation. The Christian Is deter
mined to remake this world and t
mold It into a thing Of transcending
beauty: the pagan was satisfied to
leave II as II was. for he had no vision
OF a better world and no enhancing
ideals to guide his efforts.
Pagan thinking was focused upon
the past and, as an inevitable conse-
quence, the pagan world d III
stagnation. The golden age, accord
ing to the non-Christian interpreta-
ton Of human history, lay In he dim
past which could not be brought back,
but from which the world drifted TAR
Their away. Consequently the relent-
less march of time made things worse
and the world darker. AS the morn
ing of time faded, the shadows grew
heavier and blacker. More and more
the golden age became a blurred
memory from which no inspiration
could be drawn. Gradually "A cold
fatalism and benumbing resignation
crept into the pagan soul and stined
it's energy. The pagan did not 100
with buoyant confidence into the fu-
ture, since IL held nothing for him
that could kindle the Ares Of hope
IN his stoical breast. He cid net dream
of unfailing progress toward a bet
ter world and a nobler humanity. The
vision of the future chilled his heart
and froze his soul; for 1t was only a
darkness waxing ever blacker and
more threatening.

Thus he has invented the wonderful

knows that ii is evermore becc ming
an actual reality, Time Is his mighty
ally for the lapse of time will bring
him closer to the realization of his
magnificent ideal. Time, on the con-
trary, was the enemy OF the pagan.
for IL took him farther away from the
golden age OF which he vainly draamt.
Such a fundamental change OF atti-
tude is deeply significant and must
have ca ~far-reaching influence OF the
whole Of life. 1t makes ali the diiter-
ence in the world whether we are
looking backward or forward. The
future us to action; 1t urges
us onward; it inspires us to new en-
terprises, and calls us to new achieve
ments. But II we fix u gaze on the
past, we remain frozen and fixed to
the spot. The contemplation OF the
past paralyzes; the contemplation OF
the future quickens and energies.
That is the reason why Christian civ
ilization overflows with activity and
why Christian civilization tends
toward stability and rightly and final
ly ends in death. There is always
something ~exhuberant about Christ
ianity: il is instinct with will and
vitality.
That is the way to face the New
Year. The golden age does not lie
in the past. 1t is not dead and gone.
II Is not forever lost and irretriev-
ably forfeited. No. 1t Is coming to
life; and il can be won. The forces
that will hasten it's coming are with
us. 1t Is our privilege to utilize them
and to cooperate with them. The more
seriously we work, the neraer dc we
bring the kingdom of God. The past
may have been ugly; the present may
be black; but that is no reason why
the future should be ugly and lack
also. II we will, we can shapt the
future after nobler and finer pat rms.

Thus the Christian always str1i IS a
