OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NEW YEAR RULES
BY KATHERINE EDELMAN

DE OF Good Cheer. A merry
- heart is a thing to be de-
sired more than riches-for out
of it grows many of earth's
greatest gifts and blessings.
Be Helpful. Lend hand to
the other fellows need, help him
to his feet again. 1t may take
money, and it may take only
smile or kind word. Whoever
you are you possess one or all of
these gifts.
BE at Peace. 1t is good for all
of us to be at peace. If there
is something in your life that
keeps you from enjoying the
blessedness of this great gift
root it out if you can, even
though it hurts pride and self to
do it. If the something is be-
yond helping, then try like a
man to make the best Of ito
put it behind you, as 1t were.
You will be surprised to see that
you can do this if you will, and
that peace will come.
Be Courageous. Drive fear
and all its kindred ills out of
your heart. Look the world in
the face, unfaltering, unafraid;
convince yourself that you are
as good as the next man and
that you can do the things he
does. Do not carry an inferi-
GRITTY complex with you through
the days. The world usually
rates us with the measure we
have put upon ourselves.
Be Content. Thank the Lord
for the many gifts that are yours
and do not envy your neighbor.
Perhaps if you but knew 1t he is
thinking how much more you
have, for wealth is not measured
in things that money can buy.
All of us have much for which
to be grateful, and If the truth
were really known things are
evened out pretty well In this
/, world. Remember, however,
that being content does not
mean that we must not strive to
get ahead, for doing and achiev-
ing is one of the best means in
the world to bring content to
man.
Be Kind. The man who Is kind
in his home and abroad is man
among men. No one can gauge
or fathom what kindness has
done for the world. 1t has
frightened more lives and uplift-
ed more human beings than any
other one thing. 1t makes
homes happier, business rela-
lions more pleasant and helps
him who gives as well as him
who receives. To be kind at
heart is to be all things.
