HOLIDAY  GREETINGS . 

Another  year,

usual  with  va ried  experiences,  has 
hurried  br.  Some  of  the  happen. 
ings of  this year haye been  pleasant, 
yielding:l  few red· letter days  to adt! 
to  those  who  wish  nCI'er  to  forget. 
Other days  hiH'e  heell  charged with 
the stern  discipline of life that incul· 
for 
t ractability  and  charity 
c:lles 
others, or insurg:ency  and  hardness, 
according  to  our illdividual  fibre. 

A  s ustaining  power  th.rough  it

to  work, :l1ld  I~'o r k hard  at  \~' hat we 
c:m  do  best,  WIth  such  ITIOdlCUnl  of 
peace as  shall  make  rest  possible 
after  con tinued  effort;  espccillily 
hope  of  friends , and  of  their  sym· 
pathy.  ulldersttll1ding  amI  loyalty; 
alld  finally,  hope  that in the part we 
play,  good  may  overbalance  cvil  in 
OU,r  na t ures, illlt!  the many errorS we 
constantly com lllit  be  forgiven  lind 
forgotten. 

Onl)'  with  these  hopes  C:11I  our
