year with it's past and future. Before
the world is a vast eXpanse which is
called the future. No mortal eye can
penetrate it's depths and bring out
clearly the thousand of hidden
things which it contains. 1t is well,
that is true. If many of us could
see into the future and behold the
many things, we would be compelled
to endure and pass through, would
soon end our existence. There is a
constant hope on the part of every
one that the future holds something
for them, greater than ever expe-
rienced before, that some of the
things of the past will be forgotten
and the good deeds intended to be-
come true in the future will in a
measure blot out the sins of the past.
The people generally are builders of
air castles, and they call upon the
future to let their dreams become
true. For some such things which
are asked for would, if they come to
pass, would not only injure but
would in many cases destroy those
who had done the asking. Men and
women generally ask that their po-
sitions in life might be changed, that
more prosperity in the way of riches
should come their way. If thousands
of this class of people would look
into the past would find it was their
own fault in not taking notice when
fortune was knocking at their doors.
So the future is an unknown guam
tity-to some it will bring peace and
others it will be a year
full of sorrow and pain. So it is well
we do not know what is to come to
us before the new year shall end.
The past is before us, we can look
back over our past lives and but few
Of us can point with pride to a life
which is not made up with mistakes.
Some more grievous than others but
al must bow their heads and ac-
that the charge is true,
our future lives can be made purer
1y correcting the mistakes made in |
)ur past life. To do this we must be |
sincere and not adopt set of resolu-
ions which are rarely kept. AS the |
lew year breaks forth is the custom |
If men and women to make new set |
# resolutions which will cover their |
uture lives, and perhaps they mean
o keep them, but when the world
lolds out it's tempting bate, they are
lot strong enough to resist and in
all the promises made
.er broken and soon the world and
is alturement have full sway over
,eople who have not the will power
o resist temptation when it appears.
We believe many men and women
re sincere when in adopting new
et of resolutions, which state that
hose interested will in the future
cad more upright and purer. lives.
they start out well and give prom
Sc of succeeding, but the past life
lolds something's that it is hard to
freak from, and they are constantly
,efore the eyes of those who wish
o do well. One of the worst things
o contend with is to be able to break
oose from aid associates. Those to
whom people owe their downfall in
he past. The class of men or wo-
men will be constantly crossing the
pathway of those who are seeking for
,etter things. They will offer tempt
ng bates such as the past held the
.ffections of those who are trying to
10 better. This is the danger point
md unless those who are trying to
reate a new way of living are strong
n will power they will be found fall
en- by the way side. The only way
o pass safely through the ordeals
# life as they may assail all is to
axe Jesus Christ as your partner. 1t
S the only safe way. Try it and note
he result.
Perhaps it was a year ago when
he writer advised farmers who had
waste land to plant it in trees, that
would not only be profitable, but
elps to beautify the country as well.
We don't know how many took ad-
antage of the offer of the state to
urnish trees of different kinds at
animal cost, but those who did ac-
ept the offer and planted their
rood land in trees have laid the
1undation for future profit greater
ian the most optimistic mind would
link. We also advised young men,
.ho are making a competency and
owe to invest some of their earnings
the waste land of Sussex county
nd other parts of the state. We be-
eve if set in trees it would pay from
le start over six per cent interest
yer the cost of land and trees and
eld in the end not only handsome
oft but the accumulated interest
we'll.
Now, the State Forestry Depart
ent, of which Governor G. Douglass
lck is chairman, is making a de-
rmined effort to induce those who
we waste land, not suitable for the
Using of fruits or truck, to plant it L
trees, even brush land which has
en- burned over makes suitable
OF for the growing of trees.
Take the waste land in Sussex :
unity and plant it in the different
nd of trees available, what diff
renee it would make in the looks
the county. Instead as it looks
w an eyesore to the passer-by, it
)uld become one continued show
beauty. Not only this, it would Z

The writer can remember when
ant red, black, Spanish and peach

Your correspondent asked gen.
