159 Queen‘s Drive, Weston, Ontario. + Happy New Year!â€" So often we feel like making new beginnings as we waich the tired old year limp its way out of our lives. We long to drop our faults as a soiled garment on a humid day. So we sit down and take mental inventory, resolving that in the new year there will be certain things that we will refrain from doing. ; With our resolutions carefully tabulated, the picture of our lives clear of our weaknesses rises beâ€" fore |§ with encouraging brightâ€" ness, But as we journey along our unexplored highway, we find, to our disappointment, that our picâ€" ture was just a lovely mirage that has vanished from our sight. We are left trudging along with the same old faults ever present to discourage us. We sigh and murmur that we have no‘faith. That is pol so. We have forgotten to rest ‘and trust in the Lord. We have been too busy resolving, too busy trying, too busy looking at oursclves. We need to place our eyes upon Him and to realize that no evil can stand before Him. He is so great and strong, so victorious over $ECOND SECTION SPAGHETTI HOUSE & PIZZERIA â€" Table Service â€" Sun. thru Thur. 11 am â€" 1 am Fri. & Sat. 11:30 am â€" 3 am Free Home Delivery 766â€"8008 or 766â€"9888 1221 Weston Road (2 blocks N. of Eglinton) RENATO‘S KING OF THE PIZZA A~»; 4 We resolve in the New Year to try even harder to be as nice as % our customers. ** Representing Canadian Mink Breeders Association POINTS TO PONDER SERVICES 4 JOHN ST.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS resolutions earnestly each year and vow that from now on they are going to do this or stop doâ€" ing that. We have given up making New Year‘s resolutions for just one reason â€" we find them imposâ€" sible to keep. However, there are a few that we keep repeating every year in the hope that some of them will rub off on us in time. In a recent issue of the Mount Dennis United Church "Contact" the poem "Myself" expresses for us all a good way to live in the New Year. I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. " I want to be able. as days go by. always to look myself straight in the eye; I don‘t want to stand with the setting sun and hate myself for the things I‘ve done. I won‘t want to look at myself and know that I‘m bluster and bluff and empty show. I can never hide myself from me: I see what others may never see; I know what others may never . _ know; I never can fool myâ€" self and God, and so whatâ€" ever happens I want to be Self â€" respecting and conscience Some people make New Year‘s free MYSELF nfllMI; PAGE SEVEN
