I. . I m i . I For the New Year 30 Y e a r s A g o with human greed, suffering, and war as was the first half. ‘ Hope springs eternal in the human breast " Each re curring new year's celebration brings its host of resolu tions but soon they're broken, leaving a sense of frustration and disappointment Fortunately, we never give up but try, try again. T" know why we so often fail, we must analyze our nature But we cannot truly understand our nature except as we learn from Him who made us. The Holy Bible, eter nal worn jof God, reveals our present ‘'undone" condition (Isaiah 6 a) but does not stop there as the philosopher, psvchologist, and statesman so often does. We are de clared to be the offspring of a personal, benevolent God. - an, the crowning work of God's creation upon this earth, was created noble and pure, in God's own image. "Lo, this on \ have I found, that God hath made man upright” speaks forth the God-given wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes .29. Our origin is divine. Whence then this v am., u-, weakness- misery, and woe that plagues man- Kinci. W hy must the outcry of the apostle Paul in Romans M9 strike a s i m i l a r chord in the heart» of millions todav? r or the good that I would I do n«rbnU the evil w h i c h I would not, that I do." Alas' An enemy has done this The Holy Scriptures present a faithful picture of the sad entry of sin and the devastating results of transgression. But let us be thankful that every time a doleful note is sound ed a companion note of victory through Christ is joy fully proclaimed. Though the Devil deceiveth the whole world (Revelation 12:9) we mav be "more than conquerors through Him that loved us." Romans 3:37. \\ hether it's a new garment, a new tool, a new ear, a new home, or the new year, everyone is attracted to ward new things. But there is something far more import ant than all these, bright, shiny and new though thev may be. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed awav; behold all things are become new.” II Corinthians 5:17. To walk in newness of life is a most precious experience To walk bv faith with the Life-Giver this coming year will far outweigh any and ail temporal advantages. He will never leave us or forsake us. Through illness or health, adversity or prosperity. He is the "Friend that stieketh closer than a brother.” Linked with Him there need be no thought of failure in our resolu tions, for He knows no failure. Each day it’s our precious privilege to have a new impartation of His sustaining grace. "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not con sumed, because His compassions fail not. Thev are new every mornir. : great is thv faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22, 23. In such a partnership we need fear no evil, for whether we live or die we are the Lord's, doubly so—by creation and redemption. Then when Christ ushers in His glorious kingdom, that which is written in Holy Writ will come to pass: "I will write upon Him my new name.” "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 3:12; 21:5. • • • L ,<-0 Wo-k. , • V , ?«• " h i" oncer d aughter, of H illsboro.

Gay Lighting Adds to Season . ' 1 . • if f andj • w given a .. i big ,„ w as as given tak e hom e Teach- enough for th - .r Public Forum Hillsboro never looked more attractive during the Christmas holiday season than it did this year, particularly with the beautilul colored lighting and decorations on the streets. The retail trades bureau is to be commended for going ahead with this lighting program for it has brought much favorable comment from outsiders as well as local people. The fine thing about it is that with care the lighting and decorations will be available for use for a good many years. In addition numerous local residents co-operated with Christmas lighting decorations at their homes and with attractive window displays in their places of business. Ray Delsman's annual trek through Hillsboro streets in a gaylv decorated vehicle behind two horses has become a traditional feature that is looked forward to each year and is greatly appreciated. All of this added much to the cheeriness and spirit of the Christmas season here. • • • Hilhi’s FFA chapter more than brings home its share of honors in competition with other chapters. It is to be congratulated on winning the Northwest So-ction Parliamen tary contest recently. In fact all countv FFA chapters did themselves proud in this contest with Sherwood taking second, Forest Grove third and Banks fourth. That is as near perfect as you can get considering the fact that nine schools participated. • • • Congratulations to the newly elected leaders of the Boy Scout movement in the Hillsboro area. This is a real opportunity for service to the youth of the community and to help in ouilding the better citizen of tomorrow. No more- worthwhile activity can be undertaken. To work with youth should bung real satisfaction and pleasure to those So engaged. .
