There has beer from time to time some difference o< opinion as to whether the Bible should be a text book in public schools. For myself, I would like to go on record as bo'ng eery decided ly of the opinion tliat it should be ; text book. It is universaAy conced ed that its vvonderful array of human experience?, of joy and sorrow, of success ami fivilure, far surpasse any book extant at any time of thf world’s history. It is recorded tha “A certain man drew a bow at a ven ture and fnioto Ahab between joints of the harness.” In like man ner one of the wonderful experien ces of some chariu ters then may sin' deeply into some youthful heart anc' influence for good the whole after life of that one. The school shoulr at all times and in all places be ■' community center, forwhere our treasures are should above all placer be the dv.-eliir.g placc of our heart A. community should then very plain ly by support of teachers in their ef- orts to develop along right lines th^ bodies, the minds, and the morals of its children, and by constant inter est in every means to promote the welfare of those who are everythin of value to us. , Very sincerely, W.

With variations to suit all na tionalities, it consisted everywhere of eating, drinking and motley inerri- inent. , Christopher Columbus, so far as is known, was the first white man to jubilate on New Year’s day in th^* western hemisphere. While his ships were undergoing repairs on January 1, 1493, he enjoyed a simiptuous diii. iier with two savage monarciis oti' the island of Haiti. After this meal, history says, the discoverer of Amer ica had his first smoke of tobacco. Whether he enjoyed it is not recorded.’ but he left it to a later generation— Sir Walter .Raleigh is- generally cred ited with the functfon—to introduce to4>acco to Europe. The Pilgrim Fathers and the first families of the older states of the Union enjoyed a quiet holiday as'each year came around. They feasted; but not until they had attended re ligious services. i For 25 years up to the dawn of 1920 and the era of" war-tijne pro hibition. the celebration in large cit ies became noisier and more expen sive each year. Thousands used to crowd into places of merriment, vhlle principal thoroughfares were packed with /^hrongs of merrymakers wit|» •^•quawkers. clappers, bells and confettff livery hotel And,>^most of the rei au' : nts were jammed with ga lii e-s. In 1908 It was estimated thdt , : {';;),000 was spent in the New York ■ li^rht district on Ne'VYear'sev^ that statistician tiave up trf- ♦icrure out the sum. THE NEW YEAR ? * "T||« Trua Path of Joy” : Therd ate many ways, broad, much tfodden, that proftase to lead to joy. There is the way of getting even with <mr enemy; the way of getting the better of our rival; the way of dis- , coveiring evil behind someones fair repu^tion; the way of patronizing airs aiid favors given will display or” with condescension. These and other xS^ays of ambition and pride of con- ttoversey and domination all belong in the ^eat highway of self-asser tion, whSch makes strong claims to be the only way to joy. Doubtless there is pleasure in sfteh separation of ourselves from others and elevation of ourselves above dthefSland these paths are all crowd ed with seekers after joy. Yet they rl! .lead in a direction just opposite to that in which joy really dwells, for joy lives not in the region of ri valry and contention, but in that of sympathy and good wilL The path that leads to joy is not found in the assertion, but in the re pression of self; not in controversey, but in ^peace-making; not in finding evil in seemng good, but in finding good in evil; not in sending evil for evil, but in meeting and conquerinjr evil with good; not in vengence, and in standing for our rights, but in pa tience and forbearance; not in erect ing barriers between ourselves and others, but in castings barriers dowr. Such is “The True Path of Joy. Let us walk in that path all tha days of 1922, for it leads to joy. A PRAYER FOR NEW YE^RS DAY Dear Lord, I am- not afeavd if I j have Thee.
