AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
T,iis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact. I
TIME TO TAKE STOCK
Once a year business estab
lishments take stock, weigh re
sources against liabilities, turn
back the old pages and put pen
to the new. Each year the well
regulated business strikes bal
ance and starts again, not over
again from the old beginning,
but fresh from the old year’s
finish. Once a year also the in
dividual— serious-minded man
or woman or ambitious girl or
boy— takes stock, stock of
happiness and the health and
wealth upon which it is found
ed. Each measures with the
yard-stick of conscience the
component elements of these
two great pillars of life, health
of body and mind and spirit,
and wealth of experience, men
tal resources, friendships, the
will to do, and self-esteem.
Inventory is important to the
corporation and to the individ-.
ual because it points out basic '
truths. First, perhaps, is that:
life is growth. Another that
the matter of our growth is in |
our own hands. And still an- j
other that we may guide our
selves to a more productive and
happier future by knowing and
correcting the mistakes of the
past.
To know thyself continues
to be the first rule of happiness
and success, which are one and
the same. Honest self-examin
ation is profitable, if oft-times j
painful, as most unaccustomed
exertion is. Probing a lazy
mind, a sore conscience or a
hollow tooth is usually unpleas
ant. But it is absolutely necess
ary to prevent further decay,
and eventual dissolution. Ex
perience exposes the weak
links in the chain of life as in
the chain of business. Inven
tory is the reading of experi
ence. It must be done honestly,
courageously, without self-de
ception. Else one day the chain
will snap.

OPPORTUNITY
How often one hears it said:
‘‘I could have been as great as
he, but I was never given the j
opportunity.” What is this i
wonderful thing so frequently j
leferred to and to whom is it
restricted? Apparently soma
believe it is a gift offered to on-!
ly a favored few who, immed
iately upon receiving it, ara!
borne upward by its wonderful
qualities to the height of for
tune without further effort up- j
on their part.
All too often those imbued
with this belief wait patiently
with idle hands, contentedly j
dreaming of future success,
confident that the God of
Chance, at whose shrine they
worship, will choose them as.
the recipient of that wonderful
gift by which they will be en- j
abled to reach the heights of i
fame. Too late they learn that
opportunity is not a gift but the
»eward of preparation and j
tireless search; that success is
not a certain but only a possi-1
ble result of the opportunity. J
As a swimmer who has not1
trained is unable to get out in I
the channel and foige his way j
against the current, but must |
be content to stay near shore i
among the driftwood, likewise,
the man who has not prepared i
himself to battle with the cur- j
rent of life must drift aimless
ly with his fellow idlers. It is
not there that opportunity is
found. Those who would grasp
it must get out in midstream
and have the determination
and preparation to battle on up
dream where lies the goal to-1
wards which it leads.
HIDDEN TREASURE
' " |
So long as there is work to be
done and the will and strength
to do it, men must be choosing
what master they will serve.
They may prefer to pay alleg
iance to the past, where old
rtandards, old beliefs, old
ideals ask their loyalty and
service, or they may heed the
lure of the future, where all is
new and strange and change
lies waiting.
Men are of these two sorts:
Those who look backward for I
security and assurance and
those who will gladly give
yesterday to oblivion and trust
their fate and fortune to to
morrow.
Men are grown old when to
morrow loses its lure and the
past begins to draw them back
from dreams and desires for
the unknown future.. Yet he!
who wishes to hold on to youth j
need never lose it altogether, j
since any day that is still to !
come may prove richer and
more fruitful than £ year that
is gone.
Truly hidden treasures lie be
yond the horizon of every new j
day. All that a man has done
and known and experienced
is but little compared to what
awaits him in the treasure
chest of Time. He who keeps
his courage will not be content
with past rewards while the
future is so rich in promise
and possibility.

A dealer wi*ote to a firm or

him: “Cannot ship your order j

“Unable to wait so long,” the i

METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By Rev. H. R. Cross, Pastor.)
Every church is trying in
some way to make life happier
and less burdensome for the
people whom it serves. It is
I somewhat like a hospital in
that it deals with each and
while it does not give medical
treatment, it does give treat
ments for the soul. A person
is happy when after a doctor
has given him medicine- he
finds he is better. A far great
er joy is to be had when we
find life is happier after Christ
speaks to us when we come
aside to meet with Him.
