LET US TAKE STOCK.
This is the season of the year that the nievhant turns
to his shelves and takes a strict account of Ins stock, so
that it will be possible for him to start the new year, know
ing just where he stands,' thus being able to 'ake advan

ment is cleared of old goods that room may be found for
fresher and more attractive lines. And this is exactly
what each individual should do.
( Nineteen hundred and nine, "the youngest child of
Time," is at our very doors. A new year with its triumphs
and defeats, its joys and sorrows, is awaiting us. "What it
has in store for each of us we cannot determine, but we
know that today is with us, and it is a good day
During the year that is slipping away from us tonight
we have started up a world
thoughts. We have been conceited, vain, over-confident,
when we should have shown only humility. e have been
afraid to act, diffident and discouraged. A'e have watched
othersbut have been only spectators ourselves. Now,
why not take stock? "Why
strong and courageous? Why not, to use that time-worn
chrase. turn over a new leaf?
he past year have been, it is never too late to mend.
1 The new year w-Jringing gifts and opportunities t.

with the old year, which tonight will slip away
"To be lost in the crowd of phantom years,
In the house of dreams that stay
All wrapped in their cloaks of grey."
