Another year moves swiftly
to a close, another milestone, as
we count time by artificial reck
oning, appears just ahead and
we will soon bo on the threshold
of another year.
To all intents and purposes
it as any other time. just another
d >y, another wee.i, the same as
tii ■ one preceeding it. But is it
the same? Outwardly we move
on in the same way but inwardly
it is different to all others, it is
as if the Universe pauses a mom
ent and we stop, look buck at
the year just done, at our eltorts
our ambitions our successes,
our failures. Then we turn to the
new year and face it with the old
hope, the old fighting spirit as
string as ever and resolve tiiat
tins will be a little better than
tile last one. Perhaps we shall
fail again! But we shall have
stiiven and striving is never
failure, only the quitter lias
1 ai i ed.
So our little World moves
Oil.
If .you know or firmly belie
vy that you are right, stick to it
in spite of all opposition. T e
