wonder that so often we were selfish and unthoughtful we blush tq realize how much precious timewe have wasted yet we have no reason to be discouraged if our years gains have exceeded oifr losses if in the twelve months we have made some progress and gone ahead if we have learned something achieved something and made some progress we can accept the years setbacks philosophically the most that the best of us can hope for is that in balancing our books for the year we find a net gain from the lnue of the free preu of thursday january 4 1mm i the new rink and waiting room hova been removed to the

are on ththfesholdt3f natur ally asthoughtful people we give some- reflection upon what the year is to bring to us to get the very best out of it we must be prepared to shoulder the responsibilities of life as members of the home and members of the community to envy the people who always get out of things is a mistake though sometimes the temptation to do so is very strong we all know peoeple who succeed in dodging all responsibility in sidestepping whatever is hard and leaving others to shoulder the burdens most of the time they are mere onlookers and when we realize what an easy time they have we sometimes wish we were like them on second thought such immunity is dearly bought responsibility develops character the people who tackle difficulties and get the better of them soon are fitted to cope with hard er and harder things the shirk on the other hand becomes a weakling the onlooker at life misses all that makes it worth living a happy new year the old year has run its course jhe4ew yea- stands before us some of us dissatisfied with the old year and its record are fondly promising our selves that the new year shall be something vastly different something so different in fact that it shall mark a new epoch in our lives but as a rule there are few violent breaks in human history and the new year is apt to be the old year over and over again only more so the idea that some day there is going to be a violent break with the old life and that we shall suddenly put behind us all its failures and blunders and as suddenly rise to a higherlevel of beingwhere we shall forget how to blunder and shall for ever lay aside all our selfishness all our folly and all our ignorance is a captivating one but is seems to rest on very flimsy foundations the roots pf the future lie deep in the past and the pres ent is the stuff out of which the past is ceaselessly being made weafe serrirrghnmotiontoayjfprces thatwifjantmue to operate for generations after we are gone what we are going to do isnt half as important as what we are doing there are- a thousand good deeds we intend to do tomorrov but if we omit doing the one which is now at our hand the prospects for the future are not very bright there is always some reason why we should neglect the present opportunity and we ften deceive our selves into thinking that we are really the people we expect to be when goodness is easy and the lions are all dead but eternal righteousness never judges men by what they decide to be which is after all what they really are but is it not possible for men to change it certainly is and to change most decisively and quickly but it is well to recognize that it is no easy task and we need to start at once there are no moral attitudes inaccessible to the pa- depoalted in a private-

welcome to all manufacturers which give per manent employment tidy streets excellent highways convenient steam and electric railway service and withal a patriotic citizenry in one respect there is room for improvement we would make even better progress if the gettogether spirit were developed to a higher degree before a town can accomplish all that it needs to make it a thoroughly progressive
