Shall We Do This ?
Mere we are now at the beginning
of a new year, Let us look at the
mistakes of the past and try to avoid
them this year. This old world is
sweeping us on to eternity and an
unknown shore, so fast that the hair
blows back from our foreheads as we
peer out of the cab windows at the
misty wall before us. What lies ahead
we know not ; but let us go forth each
morning to shun the evil, do the right,
keep on the main line to full develop-
ment of true manhood and woman-
hood. With forgiveness for those
who differ from us, and kindness to
all, let us wipe out all old scores, and
start 1011 with a clean sheet and
sincere resolves, coupled with a trust
in Him, who alone can guide us
aright, and give strength to mould
resolutions in actual performances.
Resolutions alone do not form char-
acters.
Then And Now.
A recent agazine writer states :—
That in "the days of the Norman Con-
quest a bus' "1 of wheat cost 5e ; that a,
horse at th time was worth $8, art.
a cow $1.5 ; that a daily wagef a
farm labo r at that period was 10e
per day, d that skilled labor, car-
penters, „ aeons, etc„ received 13e per
day. Ne,'essarily in those/days a mil,•
lion doll:: s must have hien a heap of
money. 'But compare; these figures
with t • se of to -day.' wheat costs
about per bushel,* twenty times
as mu as in the days of William.
The s lied laborer will average $3 per
day comparedw h 1 13. In other
word he is receiving��tS`ow 23 times
as , eh as at the period of which
spec No horse with any self-respec
wo d now see itself sold for less th
$16w, or twenty times as much as :e
wo Id have brought at the time of e
Norman Conquest." '
