disturb your peace Oh Hiliiu'
To talk health, happiness and pros
perity TO every person you
meet.
To make all your friends feel that
there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of ev-
erything and make your OPP
timism come true.
To think only Of the best, to work
for the best, and expect the
best.
To be Just as enthusiastic about
the success Of others as you
are about your own.
To forget the mistakes Of the
past and press on for greater
achievements Of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance
at all times and give every
living creature you meet a
smile.
To give so much time to the i'm
provement of yourself that
you have no time to criticize
others.
To be too large for worry, too
noble for anger, too strong
for fear, and too happy to
permit the presence Of trouble.
from the scrapbooks Of George
A. Gibbs.
Most Of us wonder what the
New Year has in store for US.
That is a human thought, but have
you ever stopped and wondered
just what you are going to do to
make the New Year happy for
others as well as yourself? This
past year if you have been one
to criticlse every word any has
said, try to give a few words of
praise this New Year. Make some
one happy when you speak to
them, not wish you had kept your
mouth closed. Criticising every
thing anyone says can become a
very bad habit.
Looking back over the past year
you think you had a pretty hard
time. You had illness yourself and
others in your family we're i'll.
Part Of the time you were out of
work, you were unable to buy the
new car you had set your heart
on buying, the roof of your house
leaked and you were very I'M
happy thinking you had all Of the
bad luck.
You don't know how very happy
many people would have been If
they had been in your place! First,
although you DID have a short
siege Of illness, you were at home
when you were Ill. True, you suf-
fered, but think of the dear ones
who suffered more than you be-
cause they suffered from their
illness AND worry about the cost
Of their hospital bills. Second, you
worried because you had planned
TO buy a new car. Many other:
would be so happy to have th'
car you own now!
Third, you worried about a leal
OF your roof. You have no idea how
many people do not know from
one day to the next where the!
are going TO sleep. Be grateful
for all OF your many blessings ant
this New Year remember the on,
who said he cried because ne hat
no shoes until he saw one WIFI
had no feet!
This Is a time to resolve TO do
little better this year than last
Right now plan TO do kind dee,
as often as you possibly can.
is up TO us 10 make this New Yea
happy or unhappy friendly or un
friendly because we can chang
our thoughts II we so desire.
We win turn a new page an
watch what Is being put on tina
mage and we win all have yer
Happy New Year!
