taking away from 1935 a sale of a car. If you speed up his demand for an electric refrigerator three years ahead of his private budget, you cut out of that budget a part of your business for the third year hence. The business of 1933, much of it, is gone because we transacted it in 1929 and 1930. It’s already on the books —sometimes as loss. We had no permanent gain —we just thought we had.—Dallas (Texas, U.S.A.) News.

FOR THE YEAR AHEAD When we desire a “happy” year for ourselves and our friends, what precisely do we mean by happiness? To identify it with peace and prosperity is, after all, to touch but the surface of life, so far as those terms are limited to our external circumstances. A year bringing unexpected wealth and concord might yet, in the deeper sense, be a most unhappy year if material growth were to mean the growth of materialism. Equally a year thick with troubles and disappointments might yet in truth be a signally happy year if it should bring to us and our neighbours a clearer vision of God, a mind more resolved to place His will first, a brotherhood transferred from the region of sentimentality into a vivid consciousness of our relationships in God’s family. When, following this line of approach, we again try to estimate what the near future is likely to hold for us, the grounds of encouragement are definitely stronger. There are distinct signs today of a religious revival, a revival the more likely to be lasting because it is unspectacular and is developing slowly from within. Faith in the stability of God and of His purpose supplies the best reason for anticipating a happy New Year, a year abounding with happiness most worth gaining. At no season is the sense of change more insistent.. The years themselves seem to hasten past; old landmarks crumble with bewildering rapidity; well-loved faces vanish. Set amid this continual shift and change of time, human nature craves for what abides, desires some fixed principle which will stand unmoved by the swift flow of months and years, which will interpret existence and make it seem worth while. Here is that which fulfills the need. We can but guess at the everts before us. But at all events if we choose we may be sure of meeting them strengthened by an eternal Power and guarded by a Love that never changes.—The Times (London).

Reckless Driving She was pinched for recklesfe driving, But she never faced the court, Though her fast and reckless driving Was a thing of bad report, For the pinch for recklessi driving That had turned the maiden pale Was the pinch beneath the hammer When she tried to drive a nail.
