A THOUGHT FOR THE YEAR 1885.

IA
The beautiful Christmas season with
all its joys, gifts and many pleasures,
(also remembered sorrows) is now be-
hind us once more. And the new year
looms up with its long vistas stretched
out i'm front of us, marking the Il
months of another year. The question
arises, what does it hold for all of US?
Will there be "A New Deal" for each
one of us in turn2 Or will we go our +
way through the days and months with
no new inspirations to guide US through
the maze of doubt and difficulties
which have. beset us in the past? we
trust not Let us, at least, try to beiieVe
that "Old Man Depression is as surely
behind us as the old year is. So let us
all hope for the clouds to lift even
more and show through the rift IN the
blue the golden promise "A New Day,
"A New Deal and new world Tor
