Lei’s face it—there are no easy New Year resolutions.
. W ilh each new year, man makes all kinds of promises to himself
and to others. And, each year these same promises and resolutions
fall by the wayside even before the NEW wears off the incoming
year.
There is no easy resolution, for no resolution it worth the making
unless it corrects a fault or curbs a bad habit. Something must be sac-
rificed if a resolution is to be worthwhile.
The chief reason most resolutions are never kept is because they
were impractical to begin with. This year, 1915, we might all re-
solve that we will make no foolish resolutions that we shall not be
able to keep.
With the world situation being what it is at the present time, we
might all do well to settle on one single resolution—the will to work
together for the achievement of a world peace. If we do this, and
each live up to our individual responsibilities in regard to the achieve-
ment of such a high ideal, no other resolutions will be required.
