Our Accomplishments— . What Have They Been? *W HAVE! ' always found, even in J l youth, quite as much interest in looking back as -in. looking for- >vard. It Is good, to plan for the fu- ■ture, but there 1$ quite ns much to be gained from reviewing the past nhd in seeing how far we have come, how much-we have accomplished, in what ways we have developed. I was talking to Foreman about the year that is so nearly, at an end. lie was dissatisfied with Ills progress and uncertain as to whether.prVnot the time and money he lmd expended had been worth while. Ho had learned little, it Seemed; for all ho could sec, he-'wasn’t different than when lie had left the little country town nine months ago. But 1. could see that he wna u little more self-possessed; a' little surer of himself, u little less crude In his manners. ’ He was learning to think, learning to, meet people, - and developing a little wider range of in­ terest than when he left home. As you come to the end.of the year- And took back, hW .far have you . -corned It is an easy question to ask, but possibly'not so easy to answer. When, we were llftlq children at home, mother used to teach us after •we had said our prayers at night to go over in our minds for n minute Or two the events of the day avhd tr.v to determine whether it had boon a good day for us .or a. bud one. Often, we dropped off to sleep before we had gone far, but It was a good experi­ ence, this looking our accomplish­ ments in the face and trying honestly to estimnte them. It is something like this that I should like tq put before ,you as tills year is dosing. Wlmt lias the year meant to yon? New friends? New powers? New ideals? Have you done something worth while? Are you .better, stronger, more able to fight the battles of the world than you were a' year, ago? A e you wiser with n wls- _ dom that is clean, healthy and uplift- ’ Jng? If so, tile year Is ending happily for you.—-Thomas A.

Saint*Nicholas Tired ‘ o f His Own Children N HIS book called “A Tramp Abroad" Mat-k Twain gives |)ie legend about Santa Clans or St, Nicholas. While the author was trav­ eling from Lucerne to Interlaken lie passed by the house of the children’s Christmas saint. There, the story goes, at fifty St. Nicholas becanu/tired of his own children and decided to lie a hermit. Their noise distracted him, so he sought out a dreary refuge fat* from tlie world. Here, it Is said, he had tlie leisure to ponder and reflect upon pious things, Wlmt became o£ his wife and ton cliitdreh is not men** tinned.
