Both responded with pleasing words, wishing the pupils a merry Xmas and Happy New Year. The church was crowded with the representative citizens, who think and act along those lines; which tend to make the world better by having lived in it. Such exercises as these do more toward changing the public sentiment of the people in regard to the race; thereby causing them to think oi nobler things for them than all the theories that are advanced. Too much credit cannot be given the principal, Prof. C. C. Hubbard, for accepting the offer made by the president of the W. C. T. U., Mrs; G. W.

Lest We Forget. Another year has almost waned Many resolutions made Jan. 1. 1906 have been broken, Some through negligence, some through weakness and some through circumstancial happenings. It is needless to resolve at the beginning the New Year 1907 to do so many things lest during the three hundred and sixty five days we forget. Many who resolved certain things to do were called to the great beyond before all was accomplished. Many grew weak and faltered by the way saying, "It's of no use." Others perhaps have reached the goal. Friendly reader, where are you? To what class do you belong? If you promised yourself and God many things to do and failed, start anew and push it through. If you did not resolve to improve on your daily deportment; now is the time Lest you Forget. If you resolved and succeeded you are to be numbered with the blossomed. Resolving at the the dawn of each New year to do so many things is cumbersome. Let each day have its task begun and each evening see it close. The old mill of resolutions has so many stockholders that its annual net proceeds are very meager. Doctors, lawyers, statesmen, preachers, teachers, business men of every kind and manual laborer as well resolve by the year; but we think it best to resolve this day to do this day what duty demands this day Lest on the Morrow We Forget.

In the world that lies before you There is much for you to win; But beforehand you must conquer Foes without and foes within, And if your tasks can rout you. Then, when life's real battles call, Will you in the heat and struggle, Victor sland or vanxuished fall? Can you hope for bright successes If you are always failing now?" Do you think defeats will help to Weave the laurel round your brow? Just as little straws can tell us From which side the breezes blow. So the way you work at rrifles Will you preseverance show. Never say that fate's against you, That you cannot conquer luck; There is no such thing as either— All depends on work and pluck. Just you be resolved to conquer, Never mind how tough the fray; Put your hands and brain in mo- tion. And, my friends, you'll gain the day. Kate Clyde. —Palladium --- Sedalia Churches.
