The year 1916 with its 366 days is
passed and gone and the year 1917 with
its 365J days has put forth its appear
ance. As many of us as have made
mistakes (and we guess that will include
the majority) let us profit by the past
and start out at the beginning of the
New Year with the full determination
to make better men and better women
during the. year 1917 than we were in
the year 1916. Let each and every one
f us do something that will not only
ad.i a star to our crown but will help to
relieve the burdens of some suffering
Liumanity who may be cast down with
the trials and tribulations of this world
ntil life doesn't seem like it is vorth
iving. Maybe by some kind word or a
imile and some little benevolent deed
se can help to cheer up that broken
wart and be the means of pointing that
;oul to the lamb of God which taketh
waV the sins of the world. Where, on
he other hand, if we Pass such a person
ly with scorn and disdain, they may dI
ide that they are not recogized and
re already in disgrace an(d c'nseuent
v the end may be a suicide and a lost
oul. Of course we (on't advocate put
ing ourelf on an equality with such
haracters, for the Lord didn't do it,
ut he said he came to save that which
vas lost. If we are his disciples we are
iot above our Master. B.
