RETROSPECT
anc!
PROSPECT
The year just ended has been
one of the best in a material
sense in history.
Spiritually as well as mater
ially, humanity generally and
our own country in particular,
made noteworthy progress in
the year. Nor is it misrepre
sentative to say that the mater,
ial prosperity, of which wt
may be prone to boast tot
much, has been a potent fact
or in promoting the cultura
advance of mankind.
Dour souls profess to believe
that people are “getting
worse.” They may be right
but there is not wanting evi
dence that the spirit of humai
brotherhood is growing strong
er and warmer. Charity is more
conspicuous than cupidity, the :
will to peace is gaining ascend- j
ancy over the arrogance and j
and pride and belligerence that
aforetime ruled the hearts and
minds of men; the principle oi
live and let live is so commonly
accepted and acted upon that
we now help our neighbors to
live and improve their condit
ion. All these constitute spirit- 1
ual advances. But they would '
not amount to much if they ;
were nof.financed. They could
not be adequately financed
did we not prosper materially ;
There is .therefore, .solid reas
on for rejoicing that business
has been good and that all the
auguries are of even bettei
business in the year ahea,d.
Science and invention have
contributed to the prolonging
of human life, to making the
work of the world easier ol
performance, to increasing the
healthful pleasures of the peo
pie, to broadening opportunity
for cultural development, The
liner things of life are bettei
appreciated and more in cle
mantl. Education is spreading |
as never before. And that faith ;
in God has been strengthened
is not to be doubted by anyone
who observes the growing eag
erness of people to promote the
spiritual welfare of our nation :
by alleviating and removing i
physical ills and disabilities J
according to His plan. General- i
ly speaking, it is well with
America, the world and our
selves at the opening of 1930.
And we are confident that in :
this year of grace conditions !
aer favorable to the realizat
ion of happiness in greater
measure than has been known.
A MUCH NEGLECTED
RESOLUTION
We have no wish to preach,
'-fid in addition are well aware
hat good resolutions constitute
tender subject—seeing that
early all of them are broken
vithin the first few weeks of
aeh new year. Nevertheless
.ve venture a whisp of advice
to-those who have not definite
ly decided what they are or are
not going to do in 1930.
This suggestion of ours is not
lew, but because it is not much
sed, may be called as good as
lew. It does not require any
pecial preparation, such as
browing away ash-trays or i
mashing cocktail glasses. It j
loes not involve suffocation of I
ny habit, harmful or extrava- :
ant, and can be applied quiet
v and without attracting spec
al notice from any one—until
t gets into good working or
ler. Then it may become a
natter for comment, but only
>f the most praiseful sort.
In the Dictionary of Desirable
Traits it is defined as tending
o your own business.
And it comes in assorted sizes,
o fit even those who have lit-.
!e business to attend to.

LISTENS GOOD, ANYHOW
“This nation, alone among all ]
be peoples of history, is now <
n the very act of delivering its j
masses from the menace of |
vant.” That is the conclusion ]
if Frof. Irving Fisher, of the 1
iepartment of economics of
Yale University.
While we are somewhat in
doubt regarding the Profess
or’s conclusion, it is a good
thought for the New Year.
The saying, “The poor yt
have always with you,” ha:
not been rendered obsolete, bu
the term, poor, is relative. Ir
comparison with the condition:
of the poor in ancient day:
the poorest of Ryder’s people
are pretty well to do. They arc
poor indeed nowadays who d(
not have regular meals, cloth
ing and shelter, while the
great majority of those who
would confess themselves pooi
are figuring on whether they
should turn in the old car for s
new model, or get along with
just a paint job in the sprint
and a new set of tires.
Professor Fisher thinks wi
are on the way to better time:
for the poor. Looking over the
advancement made during the
past five years, he finds then
has been an absolute gain ir
the purchasing power per cap
ita of about 36 per cent. “An
other gain of 36 per cent by
1935,” he says, “would put the
average family of the ‘poorest
class’ in the United States safe
ly beyond the reach of pov
ei ty.”
Just for Fun
If there were no tight-wads,
where would the good spend
ers borrow money to tide them
over until pay day?
It’s a fair guess that when i
business man fails to advertise,
he may have something he’s
ashamed to advertise.
Have you noticed that mos;
,)f the girls now have impromp
lu complexions? They make
them as they go along.
He: “Wonderful night, t
beautiful girl—what a combin
ation!”
She: “Heavens, is that show
ing, too?”
Old lady: “Oh, officer, I fee!
■•o funny.”
Copper: Have you vertigo '
ma’am?”
Old lady: “Yes. about a mile, |
Pete Wilson avers that man it
a large, irrational creature
ivho is always looking foi
borne atmosphere in a hotel
and hotel service around the
nouse.
“Imagine my embarassment,” I
'he said,“ when according to!
my usual custom, I looked un
ier the bed before retiring. 1
lad forgotten that I was in an 1
jpper h.rth.”
A recent court case involving
inseed oil proved too much
or the poor woiking goil, for
he pert court stenog, with her -
jrain in a fog, put it down in
ier notes: “Lynn C. Doyle.” j;
The Sunday School teacher <
lad been telling the primary !
■lass about the Ten Command
ments. To test their memories, 1
he asked: “Can any of you
rive me a commandment con- 1
aining only four words?” A
land was raised immediately. 1
‘Well?” said the teacher.
“ ‘Keep off the grass.’ ” 1
