I M A New i Year's Song ; ON NSW TEAR'S EVE In England, Ail In tht olden day. The children went a-carollng. All In the slden way; And ever as they journey'd on. This chorus would you hear: *T>od fend you happy. Clod send you hfppy. Pray God send you a happy New Tearf" Across the fields and meadows AnA thrAiisrh thd frn??v llirhf WhUe starry eyes and starry skies Illumed the wintry nlrfht. The children caroled blithely en. In chorus sweet and clear: , "Ood send you happy, God send you happy. Pray Ood send you a happy New Yearl" Our days are sadly modern. Our ways are modern, too; But hearts still beat as high Vtlth love As otice they used to do? Mo take the old-time message. Good friends, both far and near; "Ood send you happy, Ood send you happy. Pray Ood send you a happy New Yearl" ?Nora Archibald Smith. i II II i A Rule . of Life ii II THOUGH every day Is a new beginning. and 90 far ns our personal experience Is concerned a "new year" may start any time, there Is something about the ending of December and the first week or so of January thatv makes even the careless thoughtful. The passing year has brought both Joy and sorrow?what may not the next have In store? Where shall we be when the New Year bells fall on our ears again? Who will be with us? Shall we be 111 or well? Disquieting questions tlint disturb our AAflJl anH mobn 11 a lr?/-lif/\ We hare blundered sorely, It may be, In the old year; some of Its pages are blurred with regret, or the sombre atalns of remorse. And no matter what happiness may have been ours, there la always something we did or left undone which saddens us as we remember. Shall we make the same mistakes once more, leave the same blotted record? Our heajjja grow chill, nd we turn away, disheartened on the New Tear's threshold. This Is quite the wrong spirit In Which to face the battle that lies before us. It Is right that we should look back to see where we failed, and how. But this once recognized, with our plea for forgiveness?u plea that will hevsr be refused If we are truly aOrry?We must lift up our hearts Again and set out to slay our enemies. They are within us, not without. Inslde our citadel dwells tliut evil temper, that pride, that Indolence, that gneed or envy which tempts us to desert our colors?to think that the fight la hopeless. EJhch of us has his own special temptation, and. once we reallea the form ours takes, the way lies straight before us. It's the fashion to smile at New Year resolutions, so often made only to be broken; but they are a definite help If we" make them firmly Intending to keep them 1 They will only weaken us If we throw them to a troublesome conscience merely as a sop?something io Keep 11 quiet ror me time, until It goes to sleep again.

But to multiply rules Is a big mistake, for there la one which, faithfully kept, will make us both blessing and blessed. The Rule of Love. Just loving our neighbor ns we love ourselves; serving j him, trusting hlfn, hoping for himRefraining even under grave provocation from saping what would sting 11 he said it to us; forgiving him as we wotild be forgiven; considering him aa we would be considered; helping him when he needs It with the thoughtful delicacy which makes help acceptable Instead of humbling; respecting hta weakness, his prejudice, Ills Infirmity; laughing with him Instead of at htm: and, should there come a time when sincerity demands, we should sny what we know will not please him, taking care to blend truth with charity. All the "little" rules we make for ourselves come into line with this one. The Rule of Order?oh, how many New Years have we not hfcgun with the resolution that we would not leave our things about, nor lose them, not hide them away! For we cannot be untidy all to ourselves any more than we can be 111 tempered and not spoil someone else's pleasure; and nothing Is more upsetting to already wearied brains than the fuss and worry ol hunting for things which should be ready to hand. The Rule of Punctll lousness in little tilings, that famous "oiler of the wheels of life," will make us both polite and punctual, as we must be If we would be pleasant to work with (judging other people's preferences by our own !) The Rule of Gettlng-Up-In-Tlme (this almost deserves all capitals 1) means, If kept, a great deal more tban our own conveniences, since everything we do or leave undone la bound to react on our neighbors. And even If we often fall to keep, even fitfully, the golden rule which enjoins us to love theni as ourselves, every effort we make In this direction brings Its own reward, here and now, As we grow Into the habit of thinking ui i?vuj?ie Kinuiy we tense 10 De annoyed nt their peculiarities, and create an atmosphere of good feeling in which they cense to be annoyed at ours. We must always remember that the bearing and forbearing is not needed on our side alone?as Thomas a Kempls snld long ago, when we find our neighbor difficult fo put up with, we may be sure that he finds It equally difficult to put up with us. There will always be need for self-control and patience; but when we reckon up gain ; and loss on the eve of 1023. In the measure we have kept the Rule of I Love, so one will outweigh the other. --we turn nnn iook upon the valley I of the pust year." says Stopford ftrooke. "There helow are the spots stained hy our evil and our fear. Rut or we look a plow of Runltpht breaks upon the past, and in the sunRhlne Is a soft rain fallinp from heaven. It i washes away the stain, and from the purity of the upper sky a voice seems to descend nnd enter our sobered hearts.

NEW YEAR DEMANDS OUR BEST. When neonle rnlmlv talk over tlieli troubles there nre few of them that cannot be adjusted satisfactorily. It's this suspicion and hate that block progress.

Suspicion of the agents was confirmed, it was said, by investigation into the peculiar antics of the geese. It was found later that the mash was fed to the poultry after being removed from the distillery boilers. I ?S%( I N LOW PRI< In the Hisl Ford Moto Chassis . Runabout Touring .
