They Say That the Hours of
Christmas Week
fly faster than at any ether time of the year, but
it is really a fact that our most pleasant hours
always fly the. fastest.
"I will go myself and attend te it" and "I will
sec te it at once" always succeed in getting
things done.
Te believe you cannot de a thing is the way
te make it impossible. Whoever does net improve
today will grew worse tomorrow.
There is such a thing as avoiding the rain
and getting into the hurricane.
