THE GAFFNEY LEDGER, Tuesday and Friday. £J. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher The Ledge? Is lot raapois>bla tor Ike yiewe of Its oorrupoideita. MY PRAYER. (S. B. Underwood.) Father of Love, give' me the strength and the courage to do a man's work In this workaday world; and may I never shirk, no matter how great the struggle. I do ncfc pray to be delivered from temptations. When they come, may I meet them In the spirit of a man, calmly and unafraid; and conquer them because of the strength that is in me. May I hear Thy word in books and running brooks and in the laughter of little children. May I look upon life with clear and unfettered vision, and get the best that it has for me and for those dear to me; and may I bring somewhat of good to all who touch elbows with me in the lowly walks of life. May I at least kiss the hem of the garment of Truth, and some how do her some humble service. And at the close of my short day here may I go without a tremor of fear to whatever of reward or of punishment Thou hast for me in another world. little deeds of charity and the for bearance for our shortcomings on the part of our friends make us doubly thankful. The past year has been a good one for us. While we do not abound in wealth we are not bound down with poverty. We have been able to meet nearly if not quite all our obligations. The Ledger family has been added to by the hundreds. There has been no dissentlon among the help. Peace and good will have reigned throughout the establishment. And we are happy. We are happy in contemplation of what tho future has in store. We do not crave riches; have no desire to become wealthy, but only ask for enough of this world’s goods with which to pay the help, feed the family and now and then buy a frock for the baby. May a kind Providence deal gently with our people. May the coming year be free from bloodshed, avari ciousness and general - cussedness. When you pray don't ask too much of God. Rather be thankful for what He has already given you and remem ber that if you use the talents He entrusts you with aright He will en trust you with others. In the language of God’s nobleman, Wade Hampton: “May God bless all my people, both white and black, everywhere.” J~BUSINESS MAN’S NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION. The following is taken from The Congregationalist and published be cause of its beauty of thought and sentiment: To be joyous in my work, moder ate in my pleasures, chary in my con fidences, faithful in my friendship; to be energetic but not excitable, en thusiastic but not fanatical; loyal to the truth as I see it, but ever open minded to the newer light; ’to abhor gush as I would profanity, and to hate cant as I would a lie; to be careful in my promises, punctual in my engagements, candid with myself and frank with others; to discourage NOTES AND COMMENTS. Write it 1909. • • • A prosperous New Year to each and every one is the wish of The Led ger. • • • Attend the Board of Trade meeting next Tuesday night. Something im portant will come up. • • • If you are as good to the New Year as the New Year will be to you there will be no room to complain. • • • If you canncfc afford to take a paper this year borrow one. At any rate shams and rejoice in all that is beau tiful and true; to do my work and live my life so that neither shall re quire defense or apology; to honor no one simply because rich or famous, and despise no one because humble or poor; to be gentle and considerate toward the weak, respectful yet self- respecting toward the great, cour teous to all, obsequious to none; to seek wisdom from great books and inspiration from good men; to in vigorate my mind with noble thoughts as I do my body with sunshine and fresh air; to prize all sweet human friendship and seek to make at least one home happy; to have charity for the erring, sympathy for the sorrow ing, cheer for the despondent; to be Indifferent to none, helpful to some, friendly with all; to leave the world a little better off because of me; and to leave it, when I must, bravely and cheerfully, with faith in God, and good will to all my fellow men,—this shall be my endeavor during the coming year. THE NEW YEAR. And this is the New Year! May it prove the best in the his tory of mankind. The Ledger enters upon the New Year whih new hopes and aspirations and ambitions. We remember the failures of the past year; the disappointments and heart; aches. We know we have sometimes been misunderstood; that some have taken it upon themselves to malign, and traduce us and to inpugn our motives. If we know’ our heart our purpose has been to attempt to do good, to help educate and uplift man kind, to add some mite to the pro gress of the day. We enter upon the new year with no unkind feeling toward any man and simply trust that • w’e may be an instrument for the wel fare of this county and its people. We are thankful for the encourage ment and support given us in the patfi;.
