It may not be altogether proper to
suggest that tho measure ol' happi

largely upon the individual, and yel
we are going to point out the great,
lesson that we may all Hud prolhab) .
in bringing to pass those things w<
may wish for ourselves and others.
Let us try to begin the bright New

just as v feel inclined, lt will be
we!! foi- us to consider others a little
more and less of our own selfishness
and pleasure, in looking to the well
being of others we will lind ten thou
sand times moro pleasure than if wo
devoto our time to sollish ends,
We can niako 102 3 what wo wish
lt to be if we will hut try. The Gol
den Rule is all that ?j necessary to
follow, for this is but a summary of
the TIMI Commandments, by which
if we live true tu them, wo can
wrong no uno, and our lives will have
the approval nf the One who gavo
thone fundamental laws for the guid
ance of all peoples from the time of
their promulgation to tho end of

We ran al least try to follow those
laws, or this Rule, which embodies
tli ' essence of them all- and in pro

the measure of our happiness and
the happiness of others, If we could
Lui carry out Ibo Golden llule for
l!i" next twelve months we would in
deed lind happiness and peace and
prosperity in its fullest measure. To
Hmso who ignore these fundamental
laws will come the penalty of seared
consciences and unhappiness and the
lacie of joy for others.
Lei each of us resolve that tile new
